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.

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

Premium Member Passion's Pyre

Your words are kind, effervescently sweet.
Extending your embrace,
For the comfort others seek.
When I gaze into your eyes,
I experience a sea of fire.
That no one could deny,
Is the quintessence of your passion’s pyre.

Your words are kindly, effervescently sweet.
Extending your embrace,
For the comfort others seek.
When I gaze into your eyes,
I experience a sea of fire.
That no one could deny,
Is the quintessence of your passion’s pyre.

Last Cry

One day,
On a blissful Wednesday,
I crawl up the moon to cry away.

Dark night,
Take me away with the light,
Keep sailing through the storm with all my might.

Silence the dweller,
While roses for the pyre wither,
And all my hopes shatter.

Funeral Pyre

Slow burning funeral pyre
Whose flame burns with desire
Smoke clouds obscuring the sky high
Things I left as I was too shy

What remains for me in the end
Broken dreams not a friend
Resting, pleading hopes of romance
But at the time I didn’t learn the dance.

Pyre

' Such sinful acts would awake the inviting darkness into the fervent misdeeds of carnal lust, that burn in the heat of an ever raging pyre; where the scorching heat is a consuming hell of pleasure to those who crave in the tinder of  its wanting rebellion. '.

On the pyre are laid 

Deeds and dreams of a lifetime- 


Sacred smoke rises!

Funeral Pyre

Everyone cheered as the fire was lit
And innocent laughter surrounded the Guy’s pyre;
As crackling flames engulfed the stuffed figure sitting on top of it,
A hedgehog hibernating below, in the heaped dead leaves and briar,
Did not survive the children’s bonfire.

Waltz On the Pyre

your first kiss
 turn flocks of birds
 in thoughts
 in blood
 in the bones
 they all create their nest inside me
 as if I were
 another season
 or maybe they desire
 from the poisoned fruit
 escape key for those
 who will ask me regarding 
 Immortality
 in waltz step on the pyre
 the flight is burning
the freedom
 the longing.

Wombs are pedestals blazed by pyre, where armor converts into full ember.

Lite My Pyre

If you wanted my beating heart
You should’ve treated it right from the start

Yet you set me on fire 
cause you hate yourself
Watched my burning pyre 
As you berate yourself

Now my carcass smolders 
In the ashes of
What sickens me to call our love 

It gives me glee to see
It blow away in the wind
As if it was never there to begin 
And at last I am free again

Funeral Pyre

funeral pyre

from the virgin flat plains
soared a modern funeral pyre 
that stood so high
it could be seen miles away
with the naked eye

whose dense black smoke 
released into the pure blue sky that day
the last drawn breath of many
waddling padded foot babies

like the silver blade from a heavy ancient sword
slaying the life of an innocent
white fleece lamb
too many died that day
in the heartland

Corpse In Pyre

No, No, No please stop this
I screamed aloud
Fire started igniting my whole body 
I cried loud
Please somebody help me out

Why nobody could hear
Why everyone act like I no longer exist there
I started feeling fear
Everyone is shaking my body and crying aloud
Now, I realize I lost
My everything forever

The one who loves me
May remember me for certain year
The one who dislike my existence 
May be happy forever

The Morning After

The lightning danced all through the night
To wrought a festival of fire
That put to torch in blackened blight,
And scorched the forest like a pyre

Now, petroglyphs of nature’s arts
In splotchy ash ‘cross craggy scarp,
Are scarred background to blackened ghosts
Now frozen in escapement’s warp.

The energy of blackened woods
And flora from the forest floor
Has left behind the fertile goods
Of nascence sown, as evermore.

For Whom the Pyres Burn

The smoke is rising
On the far horizon
The Eastern skies are aglow
With the countless fires,
Of funeral pyres
In numbers we cannot know,
Strange fires indeed
That burn for the need
Of oxygenated air.
And we, who stand so far away,
Are still left cold, and smugly say,
“We are here, and they are there.”
But it’s fools who stand and look on blind
At the smoke that’s carried on the westward wind.
