Fire and Shadow of the Eternal Flame

Fire and Shadow of the Eternal Flame
(c) 2025 by the Entangled Pair

You make longing feel like poems 
all soaked in sweat and truth
they flow out unashamedly
sometimes unkempt, uncouth
and as they flow somehow they show
the yearnings of our youth

I come to you as fire and shadow
filling you with pleasured pain
pulsing you to overflowing
striving to relieve the

    with some elements of doubt
    earths rain wind and fire
    seems to dominate our skies
    save for our eternal light

Premium MemberFor the women with hearts ignited by divine fire

For the women with hearts ignited by divine fire,
Who love with an intensity that surpasses all boundaries,
With voices echoing like a call through the mountains,
Proud and confident, like lions reigning in the wild.
For the women with souls painted in vivid colors,
As varied as the stars in the night sky,
Strange and wild, like an uncharted forest,
Who

Unequal Fire

Not all minds burn with equal flame,
Some flicker gently, some boldly claim  
The heights of thought, few dare climb
Where intellect dances beyond time.

IQ may measure, but cannot define  
The soul’s deep hunger for the sign,  
For far-sighted eyes that pierce the veil,  
And trace the truth where others fail.

Some walk the

Premium MemberEmbers Gleam in your Eyes

campfire flames flare bright
licking high into the night
fingers seek mirrors
to show the utmost delight
the fire wants to share tonight

your eyes catch that glow—
reflecting in afterglow
like rose under chin
shows a warm red glow on skin
a token of love aflame

out beyond what's near
I see blazing stars mirrored
back through time and space
quivering constellations
pulsing with light's energy

flames carve your

Let this not be poetry.
Let this be a reckoning.

(Honest John.)
You are a groomer.
You are a predator in plain clothes.
You are a bastard carved from rot
Too old to claim innocence,
Too vile to fake remorse.
You lusted after what I could’ve had
Twisted jealousy dressed in sickness.
Like David, you lusted after another’s soul
And slaughtered me
While calling it justice.

You tried

Premium MemberKeeper of the Flame

A single light, a fragile spark
Guides the lost through endless dark.

The Keeper guards it, steadfast, still
A beacon strong, see.. a force of will.

It cannot falter, cannot fade
Its warmth eternal, softly laid.

The Keeper’s task, to hold it high
Until the stars themselves must die.

Dweller of Our Heart

Light dwells in my core
Through ambivalent nights
Light and solar fire,
The incorruptible first breath of Aurora’s blush.

Born in the same chrysalis of the refiner’s flame,
Before the birth of light,
Crafted in birthright,
We rise

Godlike

With all the Gods who've been and gone
religiously believed in and prayed upon
for sure Thor was but one
but who'll be the next to come along
will we sing praises to him it or her
faithfully erect an edifice to edify
incense burn sacrifice virgins
bow down on our knees to deify
will fire and brimstone or flagellation
appear in the equation

Hearts in Heaven Bangladesh's Cry: A Linking Pin Sonnet 

The sky held screams—screams torn through burning blue,
Blue smoke descended where small footsteps grew.
Grew bright young dreams in uniforms so white,
White pages turned with innocence and light.

Light left the room when iron wings struck ground,
Ground broke in silence, swallowing every sound.
Sound echoed loud through broken bricks

Eighty-seven children and three nuns died in this fire.

She was to be a first grader forever.
Mary was in the fourth grade at the time.

Let the demons play — and let them fall
As they seek their next prey.
Merry-go-round, lost and found,
Salt trodden deep in earth and pain.

Zombies crawl. An ass's stall.
I don’t need this bottle.
I don’t need you.

Forgive me —
For all the prayers I whispered in your name in vain.
Enemies within,
Those who proclaimed to be my friends.

Lucky, I suppose,
That
