  leapt and gouged in frenzy craving.
From Palliser Bay to Cape Reinga

I Write Wits Psalm Burning Desire...

Why?
To escape livingsocial,
     and negate mine birth
figuratively, knowingly,
     and precariously,
     I nightmarishly perch

Visible picture’s woman!

At her wedding or
A mass of first communion?
See her rosy crown? Prayer!

Mona Lisa is
A scroll?! Painted with valid
Fervent ink of different pin?!

Was she mute’s besiege!

I've drank your waters, I've seen all your smut,
It made me so sick,  I felt to throw up.

Life of a Flame
By Brett Somers 

Arched over its wick,
calmly swaying,
now moves with a flick.
In this moment,

Go and fight on without me, 
search high & low.
Don't let fear or your emotions show.

The dancing Sun rises &
tip toes to noon without sound.
You can hear a sizzle as
it heats up the ground.
A feeling of Energy

Fire and Ice

The caldera collects and cradles a
Beautiful, deep, impenetrable blue lake, 
A beautiful mirror of fire and ice 
Harmonizing, a wannabe visage.  

Snow uses caldera’s crater for its frame,
Covering it and breathing icy...
