If pray

A burning bush

Twas to appear

I fear

Crocodile tears

May not be enough

To quell 

It's flammable design

In time for next pennants

And confessions...

When I first met you
the spirit of my heart
became flammable
like blue fire
illuminating my genuine
infatuation for you
from the base and sweat
of my fever driven soul
never to be tarnished by
fanning red lies...

We built a flammable house.
Put smoke detectors in.
Then called the fire department
to save what we had in.

Then cashed in our insurance
to buy another house.
And filled it up again
with things we'll have to dowse....

Doused with flammable liquids
Bursting into a furious flame
On fire with no sensation of pain
Only thoughts of power to use in my gain
Letting the imprisoned monster out of it's cage
Finding use of my uncontrollable rage...

Your touch is
an electric shock
good thing I am not
in a bucket full of water
 
Your kiss is
a roaring flame
my mouth is filled
with flammable liquid
 
Your love is
a shaky ladder
I climb to the top
and invite gravity’s
inevitable seduction

Compare and contrast
    the use of symbolism and imagery
  in the following two poems 
    by Gerald McDumb Bell

  The test question piqued my interest at first
    the poet's name and all
  After glancing at the poems, though
    I doused them in wood alcohol...

Respect,
Voices arise, responsibilities ached yet no pain 
joyous interpretations, flammable, a dramatic remedy 
Artistically bonding ultra-universal beyond human intellect 
let go rejoin, tied, mind blowing abilities, proof me more love
Respect for a mother, salut....

Rising from the ashes after being burned 
Scorched by magma induced words 
Lit on fire by flammable hatred 
Torment from envy causing hyperventilation 
My love, how could you be so toxic?
Fumes from your violent attack spread throughout the air
Polluting complete strangers unaware of our dysfunctional relationship

DENIAL...

Curiosity is the spark 
that ignites
as the match strikes;
Producing a blaze
that burns deep within the heart
of a man so wanting to unleash
the ardor which resides inside 
that blue flammable beauty.
To vehemently hunt down truth,
soon cajoles and entices
even the tiniest flying moth;
Eventually leading it 
to its wretched saccharine ending....

Chemical reaction,
called flammable young love,
caused from a distant view,
can set two hearts ablaze,
circle of smoke unseen,
chapter of bond begins,
creates cute child compound!

The rain trickles from a leaf
Drop by drop
Like punctuated grief
Or the drip
Of empty cup
Draining mercy to the dregs
We live at the edge of fire
So flammable
Our gullible hearts of sin
And so blind
As the forest burns closer
And I
I do not tell again by smoke
The world too acrid, lies
And I
Listening for dripping water
Hear
Mercy merely dripping from a leaf...

Tie him down,
Cement his shoes,
We must ensure his promises,
Are never followed through,
For he wages war,
On our house so flammable,
So we'll wreathe his noose,
With his actions so damnable,
Prepare him to march,
The people must witness,
The shame of a traitor,
And the price of resistance,
Pull the lever,
Before he inspires hope,
So that the masses won't save him,
By holding fast the rope....

in the course of stable time
i am the anomaly, the jump
in electric current. there are
many whispers, a cacaphony
of delight playing hopscotch
thru the night, setting the 
galaxy aflame. my sadistic
nature is a nervous tic- i've
forgotten just how flammable 
the spirit can be. my lust is
a force that runs rampant thru
out, telling secrets in morse
code, pulsing warnings, travel
ing thru touch & other senses....

There is in you 
a schizophrenic flicker, 
pucker-lipped,  
ready to kiss or to blow itself out, 
a hermit flame still with a ration of passion,  
but dissuaded by bruised recollection. 

Allow me to try, then, 
to wring out your reserve of tears, 
until your skin is paper,  
flammable.  

And let me try, if I may,
to put my arms around you,  
cup my hands around your core,   
and feed your anorexic fire....

I gave my sorrow a name,
A face.
It smothers me 'til I jar awake.
Without the pain:
A moth without her flame,
Lost and out of place.

I lie alone and wait;
They told me it would be ok,
The lie I never forgave.

Flammable but still the same;
The haunted wounds; the violent blame,
The scars that never came.

Everything I resurrected is gone,
Everything I burned healed wrong.
The grief went on too long;

The dark is where I must belong....
