Gloomy clouds eclipse the sun:

Cupid's fiery kiss

Craving for love lips, implore.

Heart's conflagration!

Fire
Instance of combustion
Fuel
Ignited
Oxygen
Light, Heat, Flame
A burning mass
As on a hearth
Destructive conflagration
Heat
Greek fire

Five hundred rounds of ammunition
bound for President’s inauguration 
shots will echo through the nation
and no this ain’t just imagination
there’s going to be a conflagration....

A soaring and high-flying martin,
Was gliding before his departing,
But before his migration
There was some conflagration,
'Cause the bird right in front kept on fartin'!...

Soon, I’ll stop this speed poetry.
Ink will dry into gun powder.
One last spark fueled by mental friction.
Poof.
Whoosh.
Up goes inspiration in conflagration.
Just ashes remain, unfit to even nourish Sari....

Conflagration,
explosive jubilation,
catapulting projectiles,
colliding in motion;
meteors in party mode.

How to endure
This infatuation 

When the touch of your hand
Is crucifixion 

And every glance
Enflames my soul

Yet better this than a 
Conflagration 

And all hope’s embers
Growing cold.

Here we are, start a fire
Blazing love with desires
Make a wish, send it away
Luck only helps out today
Rife with a conflagration when I am close to you
I could stay forever more held with eternal glue
Nothing is coercing me to make me crave you more
Just let us stay together as you are most adored...

a campfire kiss
ignites love's conflagration
                                   .......mosquitoes hover

tan lines and tee shirts
sun block SPF 50
                     ....a slippery slope

sensual moments
a pollinators duty
                     ......unrequited love

As Time Goes By

sit quietly before my cake
each year a tiny flicker
to remind that life 
is easily extinguished.

the song plays softly
in my tired mind
the conflagration before me
wavers and strobes.

today is for here and now
the shining faces bid me
blow and wish. tomorrow 
will be time enough  remember....

Beyond the measure and mead
of circadian rhythm and habitual rhyme
beyond the frequencies and amplitudes
of perambulating waves and recalcitrant lines
Beyond the clamor and din of nutmeg and time
cleavers and butchers and earthmen who climb
Atop the weathered brow of
life's grand conflagration
an old man disembarked at the final destination...

In Australia’s darkest hours,
an ever-growing pyre
breeds a conflagration nation.
desolation, ruination
ravaged seas of deforestation;
extinctions’ ignition
bleeds deadly
perdition.

Were Mother Moon habitable,
 the Koalas might escape,
scamper, flee
finding solace within
her refulgent body,
borne upon angel wings.

a predatory silence lurks
beneath the surface
an unknown moment
awaiting
the scintillating  scent
of prey.

triggers of instinct
igniting a fire
an uncontrolled
conflagration
burning within.

erasing
in the darkness
all distance
mercilessly driven
by intuitive
themes.

fire
               intense, hot
    igniting, arousing, kindling
 conflagration, fervor, cold, sleet
     chilling, frosting, thawing
             slippery, solid
                     ice

Conflagration
And seesaw whims
Those who can find
Hymns upon the mind
Them are saints
Them are of heart
Finishing, only at start.

Plentiful
Are the handsome.
And merciful
Are the blossom.
A bird sings upon my sill,
For it is the blossom
That sits upon them still.
The courage of man
It takes to begin,
For it is their conflagration
That can lead to sin....

monochrome blue
  a breakthru
on a road
   to simplicity

power
in paint
   so primitif
experiments
 in emotion
a progression
     into the 
              sur real

dramatised distraction
corrupted
in confusion
jumbled
minimalised
  stilled life

asymmetry
  twisted to exaggeration
conflicts
in 
  conflagration
 
of front side & rear
in one
    view...

Once an object of wrath
And deserving hell's fire
But Jesus took my bath'
Conflagration of God's ire
So an enemy no more;
I'm brought into God's fold
Carried through His door
And out of night's cold
He calls me His child
His heir and His bride
Though once an orphan wild
Now seated at Christ's side
And soon He'll return
When salvation's complete
When no longer I'll yearn
For His own face I'll meet!...

The warmth of
our heated blood,
collides with
the biting frost of
springtime drizzle,
as we tango
underneath a
ruddy canopy of
cherry blossom trees,
handcrafting our
conflagration like
a potter glazing clay

We are
two Argentine paramours,
alchemical desperados
lashing the
verdant virginity of
Toronto’s High Park
with a searing
gaucho bullwhip,
after branding the
naked earth
with red hot iron...

I bear the scars of axes
forgotten loves
lost rings consumed
in fiery conflagration
rooted in the past
leafless in the present
reaching into the future.
Wars have torn me
taken my offspring
clouded the world
children have hugged me
nestled in my outstretched arms
swung from my limbs
clung to my strength
as they crept
from beneath my shadow
seeking sun and soil
a place to put down roots.

Alas the Sonnet’s plight is love’s
unending supplication
beseeching it to beautify
its fleeting, heartfelt notion

Implore the reader to take sides
in passion’s conflagration
knowing well the end result
self centered adulation

will quickly dry the lover’s tears
in mirrored duplication
a dance alone in memory
of escapes anticipation

Thus from the flames, a Phoenix rise,
for love is born before love dies

Live embers on a fire, a dark and breathless wood:
    a conflagration for a mind in need of rest.
All the possibilities, all the things that could;
    a tossing, sleepless night, trapped within a horror fest.
When comes the morning light, all is calm, all is good;
    a weary sigh escapes, his chin upon his chest.

Seraphic enforced upon me 
conflagration of blazing passion 
misted mind begun to see
purple images caused by compassion 
longing wait to be held by he 
as he warmed my soul in a manly fashion 
setting eruptions in me free

Electrons made illusion
as he moved inside of me 
my mind hazed with confusion
as scented water broke free 
and sparks created fusion 
blaze of light shone with glee
as my body trembled in motion 
deep within his soul I got to be...
