arsonist gave it an ounce;
Four walls no emotion,
life without instruction;
Guerrilla ends a frosting douse....

Masterpiece of shrewd persuasion

my molten soul
a fountain of raw, liquid fire
my molten soul
lava flows from an empty hole
oozing emotions, flowing dire
Heaven's water, douse my desire 
my molten soul...

Burn me bright, let your flame devour me 
Let me melt in the douse of ecstasy 
Like a candle kissed by your glow 
Only your heat can make my blood flow

If I was a puffy cloud
Flowing on a stream
I would douse an angry crowd
Blowing off my steam
If it made my mother proud
Knowing of my scheme.

Just because others are down in the mouth
Don't let it affect you, be a big strong mouse
Lead by example
Don't get trampled
Show 'em how to grin and the fires to douse...

Low temps, even snow, think I'll take a hike
Head down south
With sunshine I'll douse
This gorgeous bod, a Tom Cruise lookalike...

if aliens come to douse our light,
but we'd fight with all our might,
the beast to over come....

Love is many, Water is many
And flows aplenty 
But Fire is one
And consumes until gone
All but purity. 

If to each other we belong
And we’re to stay strong
Then feel the fever
And douse with ether;
Purify the bond....

A stellar pathway:
No rain in the sky to douse 
the moons umbrella.

Hoary puffs racing 
through glowing rings, while she smokes:
Lunar reckoning.

Coconut palms wave
their sleek fronds in the high wind:
Long midnight goodbyes....

I tried, oh I tried,
But the wound was way too deep.

Water wont douse the fire,
When it's a flame that we seek.

I dug up your ashes, 
Hoping you weren't asleep.

Do your dreams mean anything?
They tell the death of Kings....

emotionally draining 
distressing encounters
became the norm
highly emotionally 
volatile situations
would erupt with
or without any 
probable cause 
try as i might 
i was never able 
to douse the emotionally 
driven flames...

today
the rain fell
steadily;
her tears
reminiscent
of waters
drowning justice
struggling
to survive
tidal waves
of deception—
seeking to douse
the flame of hope
held high
in hand—
an elusive lady
struggling
to stand
her anchored
mooring...

your love is heated passion
it's hotter than the sun can handle
makes mu blood boil to the surface
and sends my mouth on fire for more
your kiss melts away the saddness
and heats the coldness of my heart
your love is heated passion
i hope i don't douse the fire...

I breathe you in like a summers day
To dream your fiery soul within.
You shudder and sway as a departing storm
That pours rain to douse the flames away
