its fiery furnace 
glows increasingly with pain 
as the hours go by 
I should have got some sleep last night

Stretch me on the floor

Warm

October only knew Summer
The seasons awry
Cast your shoes,
walk barefoot
this heated World
Dance in the bright dew grass
find out the furnace of the earth


Love's Inferno 2k11

Decending well into its inferno,  
A realm of beauty, a furnace of love;  
Not the frightfully "Dante's Inferno".  
When hearts are ablaze; What colors of love!

Excessive Warmth

These hot summers are
like a hellish furnace
It's no one's fault
but all I can feel
Is mild annoyance
at the hot weather
And a deep desire to hide
and try to stay cool.

Premium Member Firefly

Fiery furnace-filled flames,
Fabulously flash-flare;
Fantastic feelings flow,
Forming flamboyancy;
Flirtatious fancies foam,
Fabricating frenzy;
Freedom flutters fondly...

Premium Member Stoke, Stoke the Fire

     Stoke, stoke, stoke the fire
       ‘til it blazes like a furnace
     heats up every waking moment

       ‘til it’s consumed you
       ‘til you must start
          in anew

Poetry Flow

If your brain's causing you strain
And you want to flow your poetry again,
Then stop going to your taxidermist 
And you will fire up your furnace,
I really think he's stuffing up you brain.

Optimistic Sinner

Burning alive just to pass time
My face melts against fire and brimstone.
Eternal inferno, the furnace glows
with the need for more fuel.
I am not damned, I am alive.

Melt

Cold hands
Abrupt attacks on skin of a furnace
Teasing the surface 
A passionate play through hair standing like stalks of wheat
Transferring love 
Warmth soaking the chill
As sun bathes the dawn

Patience

Let no man take for granted, 
the next man’s patience.

In next man’s heart resides
the blade, golden like furnace

To burn to hell, in vengeance,
in atonements of patience,
once taken for granted
Form: Didactic

About Republican Business

About Republican Business

There is much about Republican business,
And it seems like up they want to burn us;
Not only do annoy,
Completely destroy,
Like paper found burning in a big furnace.

Vesta

At this hearth, in the furnace of each person, we each must learn To go beyond fanning the flames, to be grounded in its needs. Upon this earth coal will flame, love, and meld us each into each.

Premium Member Wake Up Call

A distant motorcycle drones
Fading away
“that” dog barks
It must be 8:15
A bus honks
A siren sounds
Jet engines overhead
A quick dream
The furnace kicks in
Breakfast!
Maybe pancakes?

Premium Member Still Winter

STILL WINTER

through the barren trees
an endless expanse of gray
an orange street light

eye out the window
froze in hopeless thought, now my
furnace hums comfort

tiny figurines
on a shelf life of their own
care not for seasons
Form: Haiku

Crematorium

dead
bones rise
in ashes,
furnace spews clouds
smelling putrid smoke,
tongues consume bodies all,
aeolian whispers fan
Varanasi’s fierce appetite,
prayer flags wave like a wick of hope
while the ruddy Ganges silently flows
Form: Etheree

Spindle Wood

If only Autumn 
could relent its teeth
like a furnace burning bright
it celebrates the dearth
of confidence
like friends lost at sea
It claims lost souls
spindle wood
you've pawned our tomorrows
and adjourned our yesterdays

Premium Member Into the Silence

The wind chime that he restrung
and hung up on the center beam, 
chimes lightly in the forced-air of the furnace,
while the tick-tock of the cuckoo clock
repeats itself every second dusk to dawn,
like the shadow of a heartbeat.

Success

In the furnace

You call success

Flames consume desire

And inject a loneliness

Into embers

Which lie dying

Slowly

Upon ashes that

Disintegrate

Washing grey dust 

Amongst the coals

That once

Lit the fire.

Behind Our Eyes

no one around here
ever sees it coming
everything happens
behind our eyes

hear the crackling
briefcase in a furnace
everything happens
behind our eyes

sit down beside me
and kill the radio
everything happens
behind our eyes
