blueberries on the Steinway;
Juice inflames the keys....

the metaphor inflames, excites our hope
but we've had a shortage of freon
ever since the days we helicoptered in Deion....

Freedom's song, first amendment's grace,
A symphony of rights we all embrace.
Speech unchained, beliefs untamed,
Press unburdened, grievances proclaimed.
In liberty's embrace, democracy inflames....

What springs forth from desire?
A cool sting that inflames a fire.
Whiskey radiating into the soul.
Did the amber embers take their toll?
Why? My love.
I put you above.
Now we are but a burnt out coal....

Passion inflames my heart,
For I cannot last when we part,
For however long you may be,
Please don't forget about me,

Fire fire burning bright
I must hold my love tonight,
The sadness held at bay,
Waiting for the day....

The distrust inflames me
A tainted image 
An angel fallen into the flames
How could he?
He stained my fantasy
Stabbed my trust
Maimed my dreams
And now all i have are ashes of what could have been
A dream killed too soon....

The scarlet sun inflames the horizon over sensuous sea,
the sublime gift of a new dazzling day sails across to me.
From the fringe of seamless serenity gold laced clouds rise,
on their satin wings to your charming sky my yearning flies.

Resentment is a negative emotion
that casts aspersion upon others
when perhaps the fault really lies
in the depths of our own being.

Deceiving ourselves is a flaw,
one of our human imperfections,
while expecting too much of others.
Resentment leaves such a bitter taste.

Rancor inflames both heart and soul,
so, keep your ire under control....

adoring beauty 
caresses deflated ego
familiar groping hands
inflames jubilant kisses
masterfully nurturing
open passionate responses
quietly subservient 
tongue unforgivably violates 
waiting xerostomia*
yearning zedoary**


* abnormal dry state of mouth

** drug used as a stimulant

When I sleep
I dream of your kiss

I imagine your body against mine
I imagine your skin touching mine
I can feel it. I can sense it
I feel the pressure of your lips
Your tongue gently touches mine
I taste the sweetness
I inhale an unmistakable scent
It is the scent of your body 
It inflames my passion
I open my eyes, expecting to see you
I want to touch your soft skin
Only to discover, I am dreaming

Racist

Vocabularies store this word,
Which often inflames.
It’s become widely used verbiage,
In our political games.
It’s spewed each time,
It benefits a sensed need.
To propel their message, 
Onto a liberal news feed.

“To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality
because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow”
William Faulkner

Your laughter infects me
with a virus they can't cure; 
Your love inflames me
with a fire they can't douse; 
Your body fills me
with thoughts they can't erase; 
Your arms surround me
like a moat they can't breach; 
Your spirit lifts me  
like a balloon they can't catch; 
Your heart captures me 
like a thief they can't set free.

They can't do much, 
but with you anything is possible.

Love enters your heart
like a burning coal;
fueling feelings
that inflames the soul.

Bringing happiness,
to where there was none;
love eclipses time,
and outshines the sun.

Igniting tinder,
smoldering within;
love solicits sparks
as your dreams begin.

Setting imprisoned,
fledgling feelings free;
love instantly fills
hopeful hearts with glee.

Love can't be granted,
bought, or created;
and yet, it leaves you
feeling elated....
