Premium Member Scorched and Singed
Yesterday I cried my heart out For I wept tears of glass To lay a path for you to walk on Barefoot on the hot pavement naked as I bleed In the hopes that you won’t taste my fear Teeming with anger and hatred As I stood with a clenched fist. hot coals in my palm Ready to unfurl Shoulders hunched, grasping at...

Premium Member Opposing Rising From Ashes Of Scorched Heart
The tinsel moon you gleamed in cradle of argentine night On wings of ornate cloud I tried to embrace you But you ambled through the silky sky I called mine A turquoise trail you carved in my heart you knew I could discern my love glow with touch of moondust At the edge of the departing night thunder clouds surged. The...

Scorched Earth
Written By: D. Collins 11/15/23 Just like I said before, I hear it in their voice. To avoid 10/7 again kill all Palestinian boys. Make sure there is no indication it will happen again. Just bomb the civilians until they turn Hamas in. Scorched earth is not what soldiers like me do. Keep doing it, I have a major problem...

Scorched Earth Social Policing
a thousand tragedies paned onto the community headlines slashes the idle spirits the wound enrages them to seek out sadistic glee for the sake to title themselves as 'woken.' pitchforks and torches raised looking for the guilty farmer with swift words and stories all the crops seared in the name of the mindless chase for "justice." “no god or jury; only us” the next day arrives...

Scorched Soul
Many scars thru this journey I'm just trying to be free Many lessons learned poorly Have shaped the worlds view of me I have never claimed perfection And my flaws are mine alone to bear Many have disowned me Many just don't care I feel the burning in my soul Some memories are a curse Will I be judged by those who hate me Or will...

Premium Member Scorched Eyes On You Rondine
Scorched eyes on you, burned by the sound of your promise; Never again in your abyss; You speak and it is right on cue but what I see is what you do; It’s a whole lot of hit or miss; Scorched eyes on you; Case and the truth you will accrue, there is nothing you can dismiss; Stay...

Scorched Earth
I can feel this heartbeat, gentle rhythm deep under my feet, I can feel the blood seep… I keep it clean, I can feel the scorched earth weep, what have we done Dear God, this earth reeks… are the Kings playing for the throne as the destruction is nigh, the media alight I can feel this misplace...

Scorched
You tempted and played with fire.. You were warned you would get burnt. Now your scars are a constant reminder.. Of the lessons that you learnt. You were fooled by your hearts desire.. Said you were somewhere that you weren't. And chose to betray a friendship.. And to this I have now learnt. You are now branded as a liar.. You can not extinguish...

Scorched and Burned
Seventeen children on a highway to hell Thumbs out—noses down, perdition rings their bell Seventeen children, their backs now fully turned The piper calls them blindly —their futures scorched and burned (Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)...

Scorched Earth
I see the expanse now, I see the expense now, How we expand now, The sun never sets on Empire, Pitted, packed dry-cake gully Sere, stolid waiting the return Of precipitation The dearth of rain Brings Earth her pain until The dead creeks rejuvenation, There’s anticipation of CROAKS, HUMS, TWEETS, CHIRPS, That never come, Reign in your expectations ...

Without a fire in winter months, I trust my lips, if pressed upon your cheek, could chill the blood. But as our eyes meet and combust, my kiss will burn a path, ignite a thrill to scorch your skin with passion blazing long. As suitors meet and nerve ends rage with fire, as dreams are built on hope for love of...
