Heat Poems - Poems about Heat

Where the heat meets the flame I don't care for love... don't care for much, You've taken away everything... with your filthy touch I don't feel your pain... though blood pours like rain I'll meet you there... where the heat meets the flame These chains hold me down... Bind me in place This evil haunts me in my dreams, with his stone cold face Don't ever let...

Visiting Milwaukee And the sun is blazing hot. Our tolerance, as we get old, Is something we ain’t got. So yesterday, the river walk Enticed us and we went, The temperature’s effects not really All that evident… Until, with nighttime tickets To a huge James Taylor show, The heat affected us so much, We almost didn’t go. We made it, though we didn’t stay Until...

It’s ninety one but feels like more, Like I opened up the Devil’s front door. He said “Come on in!” with a fire breath grin Now I’m sweatin' places I ain’t ever been.

It was the first time I heard the dove’s low call— three minor notes stretched thin across a motionless prairie on a shimmering hot afternoon, the kind where even shadows try not to move. I felt like I should be in mourning too— but for what, I didn’t know or had forgotten. Black Cats and Roman candles found no customers that day, just heat, and a solitary...

I wait for hazy clouds to soften noon— The world dims as shadows drag out hues. Burnt cement stops sizzling, sparrows quiet their off-beat chatter, my sore eyes shut in relief— a final note, the muted outro— Until the clouds scatter. The familiar heat shatters breezes into embers filtered through a stinging azure. So I sit back and wait. In...

Celebrating Pherzawl's Serenity I’ve fallen in love with Pherzawl’s gentle air, I’ve fallen in love where cool whispers dare. Though summer scorches lands both far and near, Though summer scorches, here the sky is clear. I’m dreaming of Delhi’s relentless blaze, I’m dreaming of Guwahati’s fiery haze.
