Long Enflame Poems

Concentrate on me
Don't hate on me
Don't hate on me
Fate brought us together
Together, forever
Together, forever
I'm the only one alone now...
Yellow and black forever...
rip me open
rip me open
shut me 
shut me
close me like a door
close me like...

Howl, I said, roar at the moon
Reign I said, cast upon the land
Fill me with fury, feel me with greed
For I am the coursing blood in your veins
I am the whisper of terror in your...

Broken tears is where it all begins, the love has lifted for now a mist in the air. Tears fall upon and evaporate into love fog. Yours eyes became cold lacking compassion, unresponsive with those...

Found me raised
     in the Antebellum South
     born an academically gifted
     whip smart, (and any other
     apropos) above average...

Love Transcends Space, and Time
By Rick Rucker

I am shocked, at my age, to find,
A woman to Enflame my mind!

One that sets my Heart reeling,
With this uniquely Blessed feeling,

At present, we live apart,
But she will always...

What fire works

Fire works crackle crunch coagulate
send the guiding stars of darkness into space
from Phoenix to ashes ember amber empathy 
forgotten exploding in the heart of unremembered kindness

A giant mushroom in the sky look carefully
you’ll...

Night's grassy fields furrowed beneath starry bait,
calls us to cast ourselves upon the straw,
above the Pointillist's daubs spark a hungry slate
to entice our soul while we chew our chaw.

Where we render ourselves like straw
we skew...

A bright light engulfs the room
and suddenly disappears
ushering a blazing essence 
that  abruptly evolves in the atmosphere,
buttons unlatched 
zippers break loose
shirts collapses over skirts
flesh dancing in flesh
flesh devouring flesh
and impatient breath 
whispering soft words...

Moisture found a passage way into my eyes,
And engendered tear drops when from a web site
Called 'Classmates' came a greeting from a fellow high
School student who became the wife of a treasured friend.

She greeted me...

My therapist once told me to find an outlet
Be open and unbottle all of my insanity inside of me
Plague with such abnormality but I know I’m truly
Beautiful.

Even though part of me know I wasn’t
My soul...

A POET'S CRUSH - collaboration with Linda Alice Fowler

But by grace do I shadow your form
from each darkened night to bright-lit morn.
You're silvery-white in my life's storm
hosting shivery thoughts yet unborn.

Would that my pen divine...

But by grace do I shadow your form
from each darkened night to bright-lit morn.
You're silvery-white in my life's storm
hosting shivery thoughts yet unborn.

Would that my pen divine such meaning,
enflame fiery feelings unbidden
that stun me dumb...

Compared to a snake that slithers and slides,
A tongue with a fork, he hisses and hides. 

He's patiently waiting, he envies our death.
A mind fueled by sloth, and wrath on his breath.

He traps using snares,...

Unleash your reign to only I, truth be wary of accost,
Many tyrants ripple kindly, though chilled I enflame the frost,
High Thronehood, I shatter thou, endorse the Chain of fallen veins, 
Gentle godhood now to falter,...

Pleasure enflame through my entire being
This man, entices my lips to breathe,
Every moment we are touching.
His spell, his gaze, “they have enraptured me.”
And all I want is to give him a never ending kiss
For I...

I wonder when it first began
these whisperings that can

either spread an alarm
or tarnish anothers charm.

I wonder when it became
ugly gossip to enflame.

Did the whisper start as a tickle for the ear
or the need to speak...

Their one lone cow has broken down the fence;
we see her trundling down the dusty lane.
Milo's mind remembers 'bout the milking.

Dad's face, a fiery-red,  storms from the shed
where feisty kittens spat and sparred o'er...

This game we play is love,
Each move a ploy,
To tangle and ensnare,
The mirror in the air.
Who we want,
Is the one we aren’t,
Knowing no shame,
We call the other name,
Flowers and pretty things,
Magic words to enflame,
Hearts to...

When I have wronged someone in word or deed
and know that I should make amends, I heed
my OWN advice: Don’t wait. Apologize.
I know, “I’m sorry--BUT . . .” is never wise!
That small word turns apologies...

You enflame my being and I am held captive by your mesmerizing gaze

Beautiful twin blue pearl goblet eyes that light of the night with their illuminating purpose.

O how mellifluous is the heart that knows what...

Sweet Holly, Pine and Mistletoe,
Your charms I here compare;
Though Yuletide guardians of frosted snow,
‘Tis my love who’s Goddess there.
Holly berry, scarlet as shame; Who -
To her Poppy red lips, I must dismiss,
And though your sweetness...
