Short Catch Fire Poems

None can hide your flair;
The gunpowder must catch fire
And make you shine through....

Had to give up jogging in my skimpy attire
My thighs rubbed together causing my ass to catch fire
Will stay a slob
Heart still throbs
You gals will have to aim just a wee bit higher...

Our sun-worthy glance.
Petals from flowers
Bursting from your mouth,
Slid through the cursive lives we run.

We catch fire randomly,
In bothered sets.
But I'll love your hair forever,
Since my eyes were 
born out of yours to begin with....

However, there are impediments
This scavenging for deeds of strength
hung shrubs 
These appear to be bone fragments
poised to catch fire at any time

I'm having difficulty explaining why I'm realigning. utterances directed at ourselves. 
alters one's worldview.

Everyday,

 Im going to constantly bug you 
with beautiful aggressive sarcasm 
that it will cause your words
to catch fire,
even before the match 
is even out the box.

Then I will dismantle your words
and display them like a trophy 
on my mantel for all your friends
to come and see at your expense....

Much Passion aroused
Young Love overwhelming
         
Vibrant Hearts entwined,
Able Bodies contorting
Loves Rhythmic motions
Earthy Heat rising
Now Lips compelling
Two Hands roaming
In Arms enfolding,
Nubile Legs extending
Eyes Imploring
        
Loving Tongues exploring
Affection abounding
Deep searching as their
Youthful Hearts catch fire

Dancing with the guilt queen
swaying in the dark
loaded lead and magnetized
with trouble in my heart
She won't stop the music
or let me catch my breath
She's told me it's a contest
We dance until the death
Spinning world is listless
My feet catch fire and burn
She dips me into tear pools
We turn, and turn and turn
Dancing with the guilt queen
a brutal thing to do
I am my worst enemy
I'll bet that you are too......

Itching fingers,
graceful strokes,
where will the notes go?
Only the song knows;
Pulsing, riveting,
amplified for effect;
the freestyle is created,
strummed by a guitar pick;
Scratching out chords
unable to stop,
he's on cloud 9
even among 1000 raindrops;
strings catch fire,
alive in his hands 
the instrument knows;
A legendary song, Decadent!
With itching fingers,
graceful stokes,
Where will the song go?
Only the guitarist knows...

Each one of your kisses is full of electricity.
It's such a great feeling when you shock it to me.
You make me so hot that I might catch fire.
Can't you feel the strong current go through the wire?
When you're near me, you turn on the light.
You render great pleasure throughout the night.
Everything about you makes you a delight.
You can stick to me without a soldering gun.
Together, we can always be as one.

An Image attaches itself
to something you once touched or smelled
sending waves echoing inward.

You forgot about it
yet now it twists itself around a memory
one you had never thought to name.
Behind your eyes your mind is an apparition.

This thing you see
is perceived through fathoms of awakening flesh,
it returns now to catch fire from fire.

You search an emerging appearance
that has yet to paint its face;
watch it surface
going blind to the world...
