Strange what fickle thoughts trickle through the space behind my eyes
Behind those wry windows through which you see far too deeply
Past the vanity that clouds my judgement when my soul is on fire in ways no other burn could comprehend
That fire which ravages all that is soft and pretty, which softens that which is hard with grief
For part of me was razed when we spoke for the second, first time. That sallow and bitter part birthed from the loss of one to whom I will always be devoted
This forgotten and found again scorching of the soul is painful in ways impossible to describe
But not for a second would I think to change it
Major distraction powerful confusion
innovative woven tapestry
vivid words non-spoken sensual
conveying sense of disorientation
discomforted spiritual turmoil
imaginary imagination being lost and disconnected
from myself in retrospect
my amnesia has no recollection
there's no consciousness denial I have a headache my brains on fire my stomach aches my soul is on fire my thoughts are scattered I'm lost in my own forest if not for my light of clarity at not memory like drops of rain fall to the ground splashes forming a puddle a stream trickling down the sidewalk off the curb to the sewer drain I remain tangent lost and disconnected for my own memories and identity fire fire so I ache with intensity of the emotional physical pain fragmented and disjoint nature thoughts and emotions forgotten and forgiven struggling to find my foot amidst the steps of my inner turmoil
The melody of love sways in the evening breeze even the barking dogs move to its beat. Tranquility nestled in paradise only found in sweet St. Mary
Passion and pleasure found a home inside of me .
My soul is on fire
Sweet St Mary
I long to be in the comfort of his arms
I want to come home
I love you the king of my soul
My body feels pleasure when the darkness creeps on land
Sweet Sweet St Mary
I want to come home
Jerk pork , breadfruit and a cold red stripe and his hand in mine
A wetness between my legs ...I quiver by his touch
When passion meet love it's all a fair game
Sweet sweet St Mary I miss you tonight .
Forbidden

You’re a forbidden fruit
that is ripe on the vine.
To pick you, to eat you,
then lick your sweet rind.
Emotions erupt
with jubilance untold
as my lips tenderly caress
your jewel I now hold.
Sweat flows from my pores
like dew in the Spring,
anticipating the taste
of your flavorful sting.
My heart rapidly quickens,
as I plunge to your soul.
Sweet juice on my chin,
my passions out of control.
Faster and faster
I devour your tasty meat.
Completely I'm engulfed
by my raging hearts heat.
Together we mesh
from two into one.
Sensations burst forth
like a new rising sun.
To ravage you so,
with such total desire.
Is sinful I know,
but my soul is on fire.
I am so lost in a world without you,
Life is colourless and I feel so blue,
People come and go, yet for you I wait,
In this world of lies, you are my true mate,
Come to me please, do not bid me adieu,
I am so lost in a world without you,
Listen to my cry, hold me close, my dear,
When others walk away, you must come near,
True love does not leave so quickly, my love,
Were you not the one sent to me from 'bove?
I am so lost in a world without you,
You stole my heart even before I knew,
Will you not harken to my heart's desire?
Do not go away, my soul is on fire,
Our love's promises, let's again renew,
I am so lost in a world without you.

My soul is on fire,
and my heart is beating,
tearing at every end,
My mind wanting to explode,
That feeling that won't go away,
I want out of this concubine of life,
and into the desire of freedoms wake,
I see an angel that comes to my aid,
He puts his hand over my eyes and takes my hand,
Suddenly I am there open and free,
I am starting to calm as I walk,
With the earth beneath my feet,
My soul and heart beating and breathing as one.
My fire has turned into a cool breeze and my heart is calm,
Heaven engulfs me into life again and sets me free.
Midnight thunder upon my head
and I have no place to put my bed
Darkness covers the bereaved sky
And big trucks are rolling by
Cars speeding up and down the haggard street
And the crickets are rebelling in the trees
The owl sits on the broken branch
hooting a miserable song
They watched mighty men scramble around
looking for a passion that has broken down
They hold down their heads in shame
While the base rips its garment in two
and every one slowly drifts away looking confused
The night is not quiet and my soul is on fire
I cannot tell from whence it came
but something is going up in flame
The wind is blowing from East to West
And I am waiting on an unannounced guest
who has all the power to uncover the mess
The day of reckoning is approaching
And the glimmer and glamour is drowning
This night has pierced my troubled soul and
the story starts to unfold
The obnoxious beat echoed through the floor
And the night bore its penalty
While darkness looms over the contentious house
A mere two days away
My life will forever change
You've made the choice to go away
The decision not to stay
My soul is on fire from hiding the truth
As always, I do not want to lose you
Cyber space and cell phone calls
Is what will be left of it all
Things will not change between us
But they will not be the same
You home will no longer exist
For me to rest my head
To sit in utter silence
While a million words are being said
The presence of your laughter
The rare form of your tears
Will not linger near my heart
The way they have for years
But I know I have to let you go
I've watched this place swallow you whole
And watched your life spin out of control
I will not pluck a rose from its stem
To own the beauty within
I know it will only wither in the end
So I will let you go
So you can live
I can't stop smoking
My soul is on fire..
My nightmares too are flaring
But I know the devil is a liar
My empty pockets full of green
Oh how I wish I could drink like a tree
Instead of dissolving in this golden unclean
So I could grow to be a hundred or three
i keep who i have, and miss who i dont, you think that i will, but ill tell you i wont, im driving a car, but also steering a boat, im trying to swim, but i cant stay afloat. you cant see my thoughts, my mind has a moat, my soul is on fire, so i take off my coat, i have all i want, but no i dont gloat, its not hard to fly, but it is hard to float. opinions really matter, so i cast in my vote, i have the voice of a lamb, but the horns of a goat, i think of my life, while im writing a note, i hope people like, all the poems i wrote.
oh my oh my
my soul is on fire
what shall i do
when i am drowning in desire
i see your lips so full and lush
i imagine your stature so masculine
but not rough
when i see you oh my
my knees become wax
and i melt i melt
into a puddle of lava
i'm on fire burning and longing
for your very touch
just an embrace
is enough to send me to dust
but no you'll never know how i feel
i am too shy
but love you forever i will
She brings blushing smiles when she is not here...
She makes my heart skip a beat and takes my breath away when a thought of her passes by...
My stomach flutters as if a dozen butterflies are flying around in my soul; tickling my most inner core...
Thats just what I feel when she is not near.... Part 1
For when she is here, my heart races, my body trembles, and my soul is on fire with desires...
Her touch is like no other; it burns my flesh and sends my passions high, her energy engulfs my persona and takes it on a wild ride....
That is what she does when she is near.... Part 2
Shyne930, 2011
My soul is on fire
My mind is alive
With the touch from desire
Pure mankind inside of me
My pulses burn inside to out
No poet could write this
A teacher of mine in a lesson of two
Nakedness through and through
A devilish seduction Is driven
A passion that is grasped
I impel with your intimacy
A raging of your thoughts
The way your heart opens to mine
You unlock a urgency within
A timeless moment that we suceed in
A freedom to explore our inner fantasys and more
The way you say you love me
I cherish with all love that is entrusted
As our souls burn which radiate the flame we hold
Yes, I will follow you up to the brink.
Take a deep swallow, and try not to think.
Don't stop! Don't stop! I'll take the dive!
I need this now to feel alive.
Though i have followed you only this far,
Don't stop! I'm still healing all of my scars.
I'm climbing higher up to my own dreams.
My soul is on fire, harder then it seems.
Don't stop! Don't Stop! I'll tell my self...
I follow you and no one else.
My reason, my hope, my one fleeting light.
Don't stop! Just guide me on through this dark night.
You came into my life. We were strangers
We became friends. I had no clue
To my surprise and disbelief, I questioned
Doubted, could this feeling be love for you?
My heart goes haywire in your presence
Within my being I feel a sparkling glow
Falling in love has brought joyous surprise
I can feel the glow as stars light up my eyes!
Each time I see you I am lost in a whirlwind
It whirls me round in an dizzy emotional spin
Stars in my eyes, show love, I feel within!
The mere thought of you can thrill and excite,
A spark begins and then the flames of fire ignite!
My soul is on fire with joy, love, I cannot disguise,
Eternal love glows from the stars in my eyes!
In an embrace, words my heart longed to hear,
Looking into my eyes, you softly said I love you.
From that moment my heart overflowed with joy,
My heart, would forever belong, only to you,
The stars in my eyes plainly said, I love you too!
No emotion competes with, or is quite as unique,
As that of an abject slave of love, so to speak!
No stars shone brighter in the heavenly skies,
Than the glittering stars in my love struck eyes!
