Tears Like Wild-Fires

Tears Like Wild-Fires


Fallen tears flow on
Like wild-fires on my wet face
As I sit waiting

like Jim Henson stitched muppet
stinky hugs clamber 
wide eyed from home in gum tree 
scared away by Aussie flames

Hell Fires

Notre Dame erupted in fire
Ghosts gasped in the funeral pyre
For the Devil's horns
Are the Crown of Thorns
Held fast by an angelic choir

Inner fires burning
Feed with deepest root of thought
Heart adds to grown mind.

After the Fires

Just before ashes
rose to the sun,
burned and swallowed
in a crimson smoke gust;
every meek whisper
melted to one,
and a lullaby lingered
while streets crumbled 
to dust.

Hell Fires and Dam Nation

Santa gave Donald Trump a big sack
That he thought Trump would never unpack
But to Trump's great delight
It was all anthracite
(Donny loves to burn coal 'cause its black)!

He would change the world when he was young
    Fires of righteousness leapt from his tongue

  Despairing of success when he turned old
    He but changed himself ~ the world enrolled

The devastation is beyond comprehension Little can be done to control its dimension Fort McMurray is ablaze For relief we all pray As the tragedy continues in spite of intervention

Premium Member heavenly fires

The heavenly stars are on fire
I’m told.
You have to take some things on faith.

But where’s the smoke?

Fires

Fires.
A world full of liars.
Hate.
Feeling too late.
Scars.
Everyone chasing cars.
Life.
All the strain and the strife.
Pain.
The feeling of going insane.
Shame.
Life will never be the same.

The Fires Burn

Can you understand   
  beyond thinking

Can you know more than
  your mind can learn

Can you overflow
  without leaking

Can you warm beyond
  the fires burn

Wet Fires: Five Lines

My heart’s tears fall to extinguish its flame.

that burns for true living

And yet laments, for fear and doubt came

and called such a goal a fanciful thing.

Thus I cry and reduce this blaze to a mere sputtering

can’t win improvise
             crocodile tears woeful cries 
                   hypocrites disguise
           endless feigning soul destroyed 
        truth turns to ash neath stone eyes

Between Fires

. for public domain

Once treasure stored in sacred troves,
now ashes in abandoned stoves,

and yet we look for Phoenix rising,
renew a flame uncompromising,

so we may seek in storm and rain,
to gather treasure once again.

Deer and Fires

animal, fire, 
The female deer starts
Her ears turn her head around
Forest fire coming!

Smoldering burnt brush simmers
Sending noxious fumes about
Long after the fire’s spent
Will wildlife return?

Fires

The fires are gone, but yet I burn. I burn with memories of screams and smells. I burn with anger and love. I burn so hot my heart aches, but the tears won’t come. They are too busy trying to smother the flames within - flames only peace can end.

Premium Member Pouring Rains On Questing Fires-

In the quest for the fire I was alarmed by the sudden storm; The thunder the waters; Flows falling down mists illuminating pouring raindrops; Putting out the quest the blazing fires:

Red, yellow, brown and green
All colours will be seen
Love this time of year ~ fill your cup
Hot chocolate, hats , scarfs gloves cosy up
Log fires lite in gardens brings dazzled light
As days get shorter ~ blazing sight
Kicking leaves, roasting chestnuts magic in the air

Premium Member ''Like the Stars Whose Fires Unfold--''

Like the stars whose fires unfold,
its great fury goes not untold;
as the force of its mighty face
moves in all things, all time and space,

and pulls on worlds one by one
like planets that circle the Sun
so, too, are we pulled in its sway,
feeling its might from far away.

The Fires Glow

Celestial things massacre time  
  with their importance

Like Carlos Santana playing
  ‘Black Magic Woman’

Earthly things embody the moment
 within their transformation

The caterpillar—the butterfly,
  the wood before the fires glow

Fires of Wisdom

The fires of wisdom, burning
Genuine insight is articulating 
Knowing others sterling
Understanding yourself, worthy
Mastering strength in humanity
Nourishing fire of body and psyche
Joshing at fear kindly
Beholding intelligence in oblivion
Each and every one 
The Fires of Wisdom Perfection

Premium Member The Fires Leap High

The chant, the drums
  the beat, the thrum
The fires leap high
  the beast must die

The screams, the shouts
  the painted war-whoops
Leaves crackle, thick smoke
  fetid air, throats choke

Metal spears all raised
  sharp cries pierce the haze
Too late the high priest
  beast's heart has ceased
