scintillating spark

Missile silo station manned...
Lines drawn by the hand...

Wind upon the crag
unadulterated truth...
fanned moorland fire kills.

birds sleep fanned by cool breeze •••

upon each moment
roosts a peacock- fully fanned
veiled from trite peruse
as keen eyes pause and ponder
the faint outline of feathers...

As aces appeared in John's hand
"Aces, hurray!" Broke out coughing,
Then caught his breath as he fanned 
Himself while artfully bluffing....

Perched, waiting, still
He swoops with swift precision
Red tail fanned in flight
His cry announcing intent
See the beauty in this flight......

If my days were fanned out in front of me,
like a magicians playing cards,
I couldn’t pick one, just one, any one
that was better for your absence....

Got my hand caught in the cookie jar,
mother’s ears didn’t wander too far
Here comes the wooden stare ... 
then hot bottom fanned air
Double trouble, here comes father’s car...

Iridescent sea glass is spit out onto warm sand
Without fanfare, no spokesperson, no brass band
Milky creamy beach rocks, in no way bland
Stacked in a gorgeous pile, rocks polished and fanned....

Some things are impossible to do with one hand
To clap at the concert of your favourite band
You can give it a shot
But believe it or not
All that happens is the guy beside you gets fanned...

A ram ready to love the wind in the tree
 Roused by the action of the sea
 Intellectual walker on a tightrope of glee
 Emotional and warm as honey fanned bits bee
 Stinging fire to the eyes, preserving privacy...

Repulsed this heat's passion
Fanned a face, from off.
In diving, less demure
When half one's clothes doff!

Snubbed, scorned this archetype
Of burning kisses
From under leafed bough. Whilst
His, never misses!...

A fire goes out for lack of wood;
    when whispers ceased, neither quarreling could.

As hot embers fanned bring flames to life,
    a quarrelsome man so kindles strife.

A little more, but a lot intact from the English Standard Version...

Flowers now seeds already grew;
Together became a breakthrough,
a little bit of me some of you;
I always knew; I always knew;

Flames at the heart of poetry;
Your wind blew and fanned energy,
our vibes joined and splintered carefree;
Colorfully; Colorfully....

to see the things ive tried
i love you i love you
the music in my head
replay it replay it

Sabrina ran off with a rock band
Traveled the world fully manned
Curled toes in beachy sand
Found love in promised land
Enjoyed most fruit canned
Great life unplanned
Tickled fanned
Made band

younger
lovers demand
flaming romance
maturity brings faith
in warmly glowing embers
gently fanned

lasting
tended with care
protected from
outside influences
by dedicated partners
glowing love

Allured glimmer from sparkling lip
your face to touch with finger tip,
through meadows fanned by fragrant breeze
along winding lanes that appease,
here waters blend in melody
together stroll in hymnody,
on one's way to the mighty sea
to be welcomed by waves of glee.

Allured ripples of sparkling lips
Through meadows fanned by fragrant breeze
Her face I’ve touched with fingertips
Along floral banks which appease.
While waters brisk with melody
Aid one's journey to buoyant sea
The choral breach of hymnody
Welcome the waves of sonic glee.

We come together first we
hesitate, then our hearts
whisper to each other
Passion pays, Not Patience.

The embers of passion start
 to fly all because of our hearts
cry  the embers are fanned  high
Passion pays, Not patience. 

The embers turn into flames
as we call out each others name
we know there will be no shame
for Passion pays, not patience....

Chastity glow like the fanned embers in furnace
It blazes in flames of purity
Burning around the chaff and impurities
Fueled by the justified true beliefs
It stands upright in a jacket of honesty
And the metal pants of integrity
There it burns out oiled by deep understanding
Setting the embers of realization flickering
While we mortals stand afar watching in admiration...
