Ignis Poems - Poems about Ignis

spiritus ignis - for California

while torrid sparks lick heaven’s cheek
        those Santa Anas sweep the peaks
            and stoke the charring blaze that kills
    each breathing creature ‘tween the hills

sweet Cali’s grandest homes and folk

Ignis Fatuus

Okay, okay, I confess. We stole the only hyperdrive ship that wasn't destroyed in the war. But what choice did we have? Our world is on the brink of annihilation. For hundreds of years my species has polluted the air, soil and water. Global wars have decimated once thriving metropolises. Crime and pandemics are rampant.

Ignis Fatuus

The friar’s light, a deceiving light,
my nightmares deluding my mind
crossing the misty moors at night.
The friar’s light, a deceiving light.
Howling hounds affright – bite! They bite!
My eyes wide open but I’m blind!
The friar’s light, a deceiving light,
my nightmares deluding my mind.

Ignis Fatuus

Bright rays now beam with hope’s sweet smile
       midst lurking storm raring to reign
      to cheer my soul with truth worthwhile… 
     Bright rays now beam with hope’s sweet smile
    on vain heart’s ignus fatuus* style…

- Ignis Fatuus -

The flashes of light shine trembling - then gone
                       His feet without shoes are tired and swollen

Ignis Fatuus

     Wafting on dreams of illusion?
     hypnotized by Ignis Fatuus!
     Mystic mirage blocking vision:
     Shifted from proper direction?
      Met thorns of poignant cactus?
      Wafting on dreams of illusion?

Ignis Fatuus

Indigence and torch light might be beguiling to a visitor
When he aches for his anguish to deter
Chase tension and scrutiny avert
Yet enduringly rubbing shoulders with them hurts
Amounts to additional burdens and strains exerts.
