Glacier

GLACIER

Silent  boasts 
The mass of coldness.
Its grim whiteness
In slow-motion anger
Tears and gouges the land
Into trenches and holes.
Its deep claw marks
Show a cold-hearted deliberate
Desecration of the land.
The massive coldness
Of a salient beast.

Premium Member long deep angry looking gouges on a tree

cat claw marks on a tree
long deep angry looking gouges
a huge animal, possibly a leopard, tiger or lion

I envision this beast sharpening her enormous claws
maybe a velvety black puma with yellow eyes
terrified, my hair stood straight up on end
am I being watched from the shadows?

Premium Member Blazing Beast

The ground gaped garishly, gored with ghastly gouges of glowing, gravelly gobs ...

Finally unfettered from a frigid firmament, flames flung fiery, flaring fingers 
          ferociously forward ...

The blazing bastions bent on burning the backwood bluffs bare with bitter brutality ...

Unholy hoards of heated horror hailing the heavens with heinous, heckling howls of                           
          hellish hostility.

First Love, Last Love, Only...

First love petrol bombs the fire, 
  throws the gauntlet on the killing floor, 
wraps the arms about the shoulders, 
drives adrenaline needles in the heart, 
sinks the plunger on the opium rig, 
  and promises, promises more, much more. 

First love be the last love, 
  when withdrawn maroons the lonely, 
chokes the breath with finger bitten frost, 
gouges tears out of the sightless eyes, 
thrusts the soul in deep ironic depths, 
  claims us, first love, last love, only...
