The wind spreads the fire

The water destroys the funeral pyre.

there is no more burning smell
a pyre, but what has been here?
No smells or remnants left
Only ashes

Ghosts gasped in the funeral pyre
For the Devil's horns
Are the Crown of Thorns
Held fast by an angelic choir

To be exposed and proven a Liar
If ruled a Fool, so then build the Pyre
Record my words then set me on fire!

Sprouted Desire

In the pyre
    of desire

   In the fire
     of passion,

   The wine of lust
    intoxicated us
     with love...

   Then we surrender ...!

Premium Member In the Mouth of Desire

In the mouth of desire
your words drip fire,
enticing me to the pyre
of a singular quagmire
where you are the supplier
of this drug called love.

Summer Aflame

Awaiting summer, new romance
When trees aflame sway  to dance,
Midnight wakes man's impassioned pyre
To whisk caprice into season's fire

Premium Member Shegaurds Nightmare

Shegaurd wakes from her coma
afloat in a Viking pyre craft
too far away to be seen by the mourners
she dreads the flaming arrows
hoping the archer’s aim will not be true

Her Pyre

She laid her emotions on a pyre.
Took a torch and lit a flame. 
A gust of wind kidnapped them,
Taking them into the sky. 
Watching as her desires flew away.
A smile hinted in her eyes.

Feeding the Raven

You can’t burn out
if you’re not on fire

Jim roaming wild
pyre to pyre

The only way out
the only way in

Flaming the moment
—death rebegins

(Las Vegas Boulevard: January, 2023)

Yet To Re-Fall

oh last night 
the bed 
playful wicked 

howls around 
inspirational thought
in hostage ground

rising; rising to the sound 
the pyre gripes to re-fall crown


-June 25, 2019 Chattogram

Knifes out

Knifes out pointed at us,    
Surrounded 
Spears out,
To hunt us down,
Build your pyre,
Light the fire,
Screams.
You hold your knife at me,
But I’m not your meal,
You just needed fresh meat.

Chez Old Nick

The flaming pyre
And tortured screams;
Regrets and curses
And broken dreams.

The piles of gold,
With fags* and booze;
The lust and orgies: 
So much to choose…

Why

The deep valleys form my attire
Roads on which you easily tire
Hold my burning heart’s warmest fire
My heart, a shallow cry
Raw emotions, a silent pyre
We met, oh why, oh why

Quick like fire Burning desire Is a pseudo-sire Playing a lyre Breaking a wire By greased tire Stepping in mire Looking at a pyre It’s all looking dire Quick like fire Burning desire

Euphoria

Thrust a dagger into my heart
Thresh me with a flail
Lay me on a bed of thorns
Give me a chalice of hemlock
Burn me on a funeral pyre
Banish me to the Sahara...
And I will only smile,
Because I am in love!
Form: Verse

Celestial Pyre

Scorching plumes billow upward
Devouring light
Reaches across the heavens
To invite the night
Celestial pyre
Reduced to smoldering coals
Daylight's bold retire

Reality's Hymn

Be-bop, shu-baby-bop,
  the blues on fire

The strings an accelerant,
  the harp but a pyre

The melody unseen,
  its heartbeat within

Be-bop, shu-baby-bop
