Fanning the Flame
Being is to becoming As seedlings are to blooms Today as to tomorrow Midnight unto noon Sparks beget a brilliance As fans beget the flame Breath into a sonnet A child aptly named A thought once spoken freely The scent of chosen prey A smile when returning A love —to give away (Dreamsleep: October, 2022)...

Some love provoking the comfortable Raising the ire of those set in their way Stirring up tension among the implacable, Start embers glowing, then walk away. They wear the smirk of self-satisfaction, Troublemakers are consistently annoying Making inane arguments for a reaction, Argument for argument’s sake enjoying. Nasty creatures they who poke the fire Leaving disgruntled feelings in their wake, Seems they always want to...

Flames of brilliant white-blue fire Flash through the dark of night Giving my thoughts a place to graze Like cattle on the land, in the hay Feeding off the nutrients of grass Clumps of precious sustenance Nourishing my ideas and dreams With inspiration, insight and belief That lives within the hopes that live Within me – in my heart and soul Where I go...

Fanning the Flame
There is a house divided in large and small corridors. Rolling, whirling, raging flames pushing at every door. Flames of the past and today caused sorrow There is a fan blowing, pushing flames even at tomorrow. It conjures up the buttress to empower the flames, While deriding erring souls of rest from pain. I've sequestered from these crazy times or Will...

Premium Member Italian Sonnet-I Fanning the Ashes of Love
How emboldened the man who speaks of love Fanning the ashes lying cold and dark Arousing the flesh, exciting the heart Elusive emotion dreams are made of Lethargic mind, not controlling the tongue Which utters the word and ignites a spark Self inflicting such pain n'er to depart Then curses the powers that be above What manner of fool seeks such destiny One who...

Fanning the Flames
A life well lived A loving and caring being His smile made our hearts leap Such a fragrance only he could bring. A lot was said as he was lying in state. So much love served but could no longer be eaten Backlog of people swarmed in because of him So great a crowd, his dwarf house had no space. Indeed his life...
