Premium Member But Kindling
By furnace burnished, and by flames destroyed, A sword is tested, and a mansion razed. Endeavours, fight, and efforts – all are void, To quell a menacing, relentless blaze. But in the midst of all the plaintive cries A glimmer in the desolation glows Ignited passion which can never die Arise! Among the embers my love grows. Alas, confused, to...

Premium Member Kindling for Grief
They Greeted us every Christmas with plastic pecks to the cheek. {We were just two sticks of kindling for their forever grief). They'd fuss over brother. who'd the haunting eyes of mother... I was just the little hand on their time piece. The adults would sit around fanning lukewarm talk for hours. While we wandered out back kicking bits of this and tossing...

Winter Kindling
Where the white gnaws a brook, black Ash trees sink waist high in a smoking frost. My coat is a rook's shadow. I need to thaw a fumed silhouette, warm my breath from old body embers. Ahead, robin red-flames tattoo creaking water. Between the tinder and the cold flare, a *** end of sun ignites icicles in a brief day-blush. ...

Soul, Where Art Thy
Soul, Soul, where art thee? I lie sleepeth, in the halls of the underworld, as my spirit roam freely, reincarnating as different beings, going in and out of existence. When the flower of life, gives life, my soul awakens from a deep rooted sleep. As I travel down the vine, matter begins to shape and mold me, as a body awaits for my return. Bright...

Kindling the Fire
You can’t think your way into a poem Or feel your way out of a verse They first must conspire… your spirit inspired Words no longer forced —or perverse (The New Room: April, 2021)...

Finally, she could get down on her knees again, not in prayer but to touch rosemary and lavender which had begun to send its fragrance into the spring and rising warmth in nature’s heart. There was no sense of regret that winter passed with revolving anticipation of summer. As she felt soil and weeds slip...

Premium Member Kindling Fire
the candle snuffed out long before the night was gone sent shivers of darkness from a cracked thin chandelier bemoaned life’s brevity and then succumbed to slumber a scent of yesterday perfused the room with fragrance of wishes burnt at lightning speed and molten wax whispered to a waning moon’s request to grow anew obscured by clouds fully bestowed with heavy...

The Kindling of Love
Buried somewhere beneath the abyss of locked horns And bones to pick on, Is a kindling of love, which I wow to search for relentlessly. Never shall I give up, resolute I am to grasp, for amidst that deep pit of shattered heartbreaks, it lies covertly tucked away from conceited eyes. And even if it takes to rip my eyes off, i shall and...

Last Glint From the Kindling
the fire ring made just before dusk with the two of us in daze of yore drank many more frothened mugs forgotten or remembered as embers toward midnight made it's light by the moon but not on this new moon night as haggard staggering steps took me before the tents door i unzipped leaving forth a piss to put out the last of the light and on that night's demise for no fire was left to...

I try to be a gentleman – be courteous and show respect I try to treat all women equally and not like a sex object I try looking in your eyes direct and not rove to other parts I try loving you for your splendid mind, your soul and your heart But I cannot stop my libido from having...

Kindling the Fire
I'll stick to the secret religion I don't need a reason to enter metamorphosis like the wind cutting rocks to carve out new rivers Stranger than fiction my nominal friction ties to this earth I might fly off like a child in birth severing ties to his mother The inside out pains for all I've attained the scratches and bruises hardly tell the story of a life of little...

A------Kind-----Of-----Kindling
A KIND OF KINDLING I am taking pictures off the wall Then taking them to the flame I am burning each, every and all Food for a fire fueled by blame Snapshots that still have the sweet aroma of your perfume Poses that posed the question can love get any better than this? Figures and images we hung in the front room And...
