People are making
movies, music-
They are living
their fullest lives,
living a dream.

I am ruining mine
to write
mediocre poetry

Until the winds turn

Or the rains come

And hope returns

And rising out of the ashes

Ravens morph into Pheonix

The wind blows the leaves home
They arrive and burn

Pandas refuse mates
They are stupid, so they die
Burn all the beaches

For all of our forests to burn
So they can get rich
But there is a glitch:
Climate Change won't wait its turn!

Burn

You may have lit the fire and burned me, 

But the fault lies with me.

 I never attempted to snuff the flames,

I deserved to burn.

Had a rather lovely green fern,
But when she went on holiday
It lacked regular water spray
And developed a case of sunburn.

let's burn the house!
	as you snip the wick
	and paint the world -

	if truth be told

God’s presence fills us,
caress divine so sublime,
we celebrate death of mind.

Wayward ego dies,
that mind of heart may awake,
entwined with the universe.

So easy to scorch underpillows of paws

Premium Member we willingly burn

Is it not foolish
to make detachment a goal,
when both our hearts beat as one?

True it is, soul mate,
since love alone is real,
our entwinement pleases God.

Burn Not Men

All men and women 
A mix of soil 
To mix with soil

Satan is a mixture of fire 
To be burned down to ashes 

All men and women
Not Satans
To end up in fire

Burn It Away

Those bad memories
They burn so deep
It hurts so bad
Make them stop
Make the tears freeze and forget
All the pain I feel
All this regret revealed
Burn it away

Burn Bright In Dark Night

So beautiful does her spirit burn bright, 
Throughout each day into a dark night; 
A great fiend, Until the end,
And surely will never forget her sight.

O Love- Burn Me

O love
I’m fallacious; the dust of the dusk
You’re meteor; the eternal soul of the galaxy
Come on, burn me
by razing the inner self

Burn

I see blinding fire in the sky.
I see people burning alive.
The smoke rises above town.
Water won't quench the flame.
I see people die.
see people cry.
and at last,
see me
die
