On Fire Poems - Poems about On Fire

There’s a fire raging in my heart, I feel helpless as I see the world in dire straits and the humanity structure seemed on the point of collapse… A wound that doesn’t get healed A thirst that couldn’t get quenched A desire that couldn’t...

Your seawater stirs in me where fire balances high on oil You clasp my candlefire, wick's motioning coil — A sweating kind of missing A burned open kissing The glass shared between us two Flames in our faces as we move To the synchrony past Our dressing these masks These temperatures rising in veins of you and I God, brief tourniquets in time...

I made it to the edge of thought with consciousness ablaze I escaped the fire but not the heat all memory a haze I just got out when fate attacked from inside burns the past To leave me orphaned without a home my legacy — in ash (Dreamsleep: June, 2025) ...

To speak the truth in a world woven with lies is to set yourself on fire like a torch, Just to prove you were never made of wax melted under absent gazes, They praise polite silence, mute nods, and false smiles that hide the void, But they tremble when your words come unfiltered, sharp, soaked in everything they...

Heal and transform my life Let our love catch fire~ Since it knows no ends, Holds no place for dispute~ Just a bright, sparkling start. Your love dispels all strife, So your love I admire. On it, my soul depends; In hearts it takes root, Its goodness sets it apart. Time to profit is rife, Your love and care inspire~ All known bounds they transcend, And all weathers...

Emotions stir eternally enchanted, each hurricane fades to a black sky. The listless poet’s quill drips, corralling every vibrant sunset. Writing as old lyrics catch the air, Say it to me again.. ‘Freefall!’ I don’t want to be disappointed but I know it’s the truth; Nothing will ever feel as good as you; Strawberry-orange flavored orchestra, citrus pizazz on your senses; Each note...

Dancing with happiness now, is my very new beginning. Each tiny cell glances now, with a rainbowed meaning! Now, I no longer hunt in need of any of life’s answers. We both run free, like joyful, new born, deer...

Heir on Fire by Michael R. Burch I wanted to be Shelley’s heir, Just fourteen years old, and consumed by desire. Why wouldn’t my Muse play fair? I went to work—pale, laden with care: why wouldn’t the words do as I aspired, when I wanted to Keats’s heir? My verse seemed neither here nor there. How the hell did Sappho tune her lyre? And...

There’s a pain in my ribs pains in my feet a pain in one arm and pain causing heat My body’s on fire sunburnt it feels I sure do wish this Fibro would heal My legs are restless I am trying to sleep this pain radiating I don’t want to keep Pains penetrating inside and out the average person would scream and shout But no not I my spirit is strong this is...

My skin crawls as I watch a hand, disembodied, reach yet again into the Tollhouse bag. Bright, artificial yellow. It burns my eyes. Countless chocolate chips are shoveled down my gullet as if crumbs to a wretched, starving creature. I’m only jarred out of my sinful haze by catching si th r of my reflection. That face staring back at me -...
