   festivals flare up
   in July’s fever
     cooler instruments prevail over time

   snare-drums’ syncopation
   grass skirts' gyrations
     blank verse douses their rhyme

Astronomy - Pleiades

A year's eclipse, heads-up,
arcs Lunars and Solars,
Apollo race flare up,
as new states vie Lunars,
acts China and Europe,
awes Trump signed aims for Mars,
and in the stars hopes up.

For Thee…Oo my Love
I hand over all of love and life of mine
In the name of life
whose sharp claws have a grip on the heart of death
In the name of love
whose flapping wings cool down the flare-up of hate
I surrender
Because
Thou are all in all to my love and life....

A flare up for help—
Waving to Earth. Says: what 
Could make an orbit
Go so cold?

The deep shine
Coughs in motion,
From its lust where
Its being gets caught in the way—

I say...
Burn, Stygian, burn:
When your own burn is low, I push
Its walls— (and let go) into this raw black hole....

I see the Night has come not yet 
Breathe in the stars of our evening
Tomorrow Aurora will spread
And wake you up with light of being.
She'll brush aside the dream from eyes 
She will flare up on cheeks of Glory
The thousands swords gift brilliant glance
to one who's getting sleep so jolly....

The demons scream inside my head
Trying to wake the dead,
But the dead cannot hear
For they have eyes, but no ears.

Their voices vibrate in the air
Blending to become a nightmare,
A nightmare of dark desires
That flare up, like a fire.

Scream,scream,scream,scream,scream,
I wish this was all just a bad dream,
The echoes pound in my head
And I'm afraid they might wake the dead....

Snapping cracking  Box implodes on self, turning rapidly into an inferno
Smoke travels into eyes. I change chairs. Down wind was southwest
Now smoke is traveling due north Loud pop. Bright orange flames Flare up from twigs which are blackening and graying in a snake-skin type pattern.  The fire is alive. I watch fascinated.


baby flames bright orange 
springing up around gray ash 
crackling and popping...

A little germ to bring you down
   Just when you think you're going to town

A most unwelcome, uninvited guest
   One that robs you of much-needed rest

You cough, you wheeze, you sniffle and sneeze
   Symptoms flare up at the least hint of a breeze

     Your throat's dry; it cracks
        There's a pain in your back 
        
     Your n's sound like d's  
        You can barely say 'l' 
 
      Why can't this wee bug 
        Go directly to Hell?...

When I look into those passionate eyes,
My body trembles, my eyes go wild,
Being such a target my stability shatters;
Confusion reins over all that matters.

As I stare on for that short while,
Her cheeks turn red, she seems to smile,
While nerves flare up I glance again to find;
She is there but her heart beats with mine.

Her eyes waver but my heart beats faster,
Love triumphs an instant after,
Hit at the heart I find to recover;
Her eyes reflect a bash manoevre....

Clouds covered the sky, winds are moving harse,
why it has  became so angry,
mom,  in which of the verse?
Flashes of anger flare up in the sky, thunder why?
tunes that sounds fiercing, kar kar kar,
mom, my soul has got fear.
Tin roof sounds rain, jham jham jham jham,
whirlwind, round storm , I am afraid mom.
There has no fear of ruin in building
please tell dad, to make it;
it to bring.

Tears filled in mother's eyes, bruned in gloom
lost her mind in pain,
in that tune....
