Short Relights Poems

desire becomes
the heart's need
passion it breathes
hungering
in embers

flames sparking words
relights ablaze
burning red
from the mirror
of one's soul
touching smiles

happiness 
a dream
forever beautiful
igniting in the deep
embers burning
wild feelings

food of love
melting softness
eternal desire
a second heartbeat
feeding the fire
deep burning flames

a temperature rises
burning red passion
relights 
a single rose
blooms
in these ashes...

Straight walking does her talking 


                     WALK 
                   of shame 
                color blamed
              hatred takes aim
  Intimidation word perfectly framed 
  Emancipation relights racial flames
             she ignores name
                steps to claim
                   we’re the
                      SAME
