Speak not to me
Of lust
Bold flame
That scorches all but time
Nor love
Forever’s burning embers
Cold keeper of this flame
polar ice caps melt
sun scorches earth to fine dust
wind removes all hope
millions of tears won't grow crops
bountiful harvest of death
Yearning
Burning
Earning
Spurning
Uncontrolled, a yearning, burning flame
Scorches badly, earning spurning, shame

Tania Kitchin
smoke scorches her skies
flames engulfed her soul and life
the maui wildfire
affect on me
your moonlighting
infected me
who
am
i
i
am
man
with effected intentions
your lighthouse scorches seas
your love has
affect on me
?
the glare of noontime
scorches young August petals
rain taps on wild blooms---
and summer cools her flamed heat
to gently fondle morn’s dew
Tanka Written With a Decent Pivot
summer sun scorches
parasols sprout like mushrooms
sun cream scent on breeze
kids go rockpooling
then collect pretty sea shells
ice cream cornets drip
A flame containing exponential fervor and luster
scorches a visage through the cerebellum
a scintilla of contact melts the epidermis
utilize every fluid ounce quenching the burning ache
Positive poles keep me grounded
even when all efforts get spurned.
Love intrudes with hope unfounded
while hatred proves bitterly earned.
Our coupling tethered in the lash
scorches my core with friction rash.
What fire scorches but leaves a singe
This horse calls upon his courage, within
He gallops, full speed,
Through this fire and wind, but
Finds a way to unite this herd, again
What horse shall race the fire, wins
Your heat scorches my heart
Your eyes singe my soul
I'm a willing, wanton, slave,
Free me now, or make me whole.
Bound in blessed bondage,
Brand me with brands of fire.
Dancing flames of passion,
Fans my tepid heart's desire
DESICCATED LIFE
Life desiccates you
My heart melts on your hot dune
Drink my oasis.
In surging sand storm
Sun scorches your slim shadow
Recline in my arms.
If clouds burst in mind
Torrent of rain you can’t hold
Flow it in my eyes.
April 3, 2018.
Fire pounds the walls of my brain,
Lights the rough inner surface,
Sheets it with a gold agony---
Rages through the different levels,
Scorches all my memories,
Leaving charred charcoal corpses---
Upward toward the nursery
Where Concepts, lined like infants in cotton cribs
Perish in their sleep
The sun, now joined in battle, scorches earth;
young, bellicose, brash Sirius draws nigh.
The rains, diminished, scarce sustain new birth,
and so commence the dog days of July.

Unicorns and fairies and sprites galore, umbrage unto the night scorches again, they tirelessly whisper the haunted hospital marble is free of thistle! It is there to wait beside near and dear the princess couplet the princess cut stone fears, and turned down that measly jester the halls of the shamed are not this marbled vesper.
Wilted in crushed embrace; to tired to scream.
Candle tongue scorches pliant skin.
Chromatic vision, through incense mist
catches blurring reality.
Caged in breathless anticipation
of known agenda; resignation sighs.
Twisted bracelets wrap twisted thoughts
in fabulists truths and hesitation snaps
in pain fueled ecstasy.
The blazing sun
scorches lonely daydreams—
He saunters like a penguin
lemonades in hand.
We two laughed until moonlight.

Bestowed upon me is the crown of heartache,
That left scars deep down my soul.
Bestowed upon me is the failure of a myth called us,
That constantly scorches the walls of my conscience.
I love you..
Or rather I should say,
I loved the thought of being in love with you.
Now I'm just an unattended dream,
That flows through my veins.
Hot
Summer sun scorches
The breath still
Morning wave
Buries its hate
In scratching grass-sounds
Floating yellow
Line of sight bends
In brain-sensed tease
Echoes
Empty canyons fall
Beyond stillness
Caution winds silent spirals,
Soaring distance -- unswerving sight
Melted minutes
Sultry stares
Torrid tease
Statues rise and fall
Empires stutter and stall
Genius streaks 'cross the sky
Leaves in its wake more 'Whys?'
Mountains slowly erode
Earth cracks, they implode
The seas advance then recede
A hiss of steam from icebergs freed
The sun grows old, begins to expand
Turns devil-red, scorches the land
A mighty blast proclaims its twilight
The universe winks ~ goodnight
Guilt scorches and chews on the bitter end
Renewed but are we there yet
Realizing the consequence is half the battle
Deciding to handle it is nothing at all
The action for which we attribute our attention to the broken ones
Never necessary
Always enraging
We will accuse ourselves of nothing
Unless backed into an unforgiving corner
If we could watch ourselves exist
Hatred is all we would feel
Sore to the core she gazes into dusk’s sorrow
Sadness soars into an empty sky’s pitiless night
The advent of dawn disguises pain and dejection
Blind at heart her mind wanders streets of woe
A shivering sun’s relentless battle scorches the earth
When the nightmares have vanished a day unfolds
And she retreats once more into the comfort of dying

THE JUNGLE
The trees sway
The birds fly
The cats sit silently
The monkeys swing
The people smile
The trees fall
The birds die
The cats run
The monkeys fall
The people smile
The ashes fall
The planes fly
The concrete pours
The children swing
The people smile
The earth crumbles
The ground scorches
The water turns to sand
The people run
There is no one left to smile
D i s c o m b o b u l a t e d

Deeply hidden
In the back of my mind
Somewhere, somehow
Closets of pain
Open and bombard
My consciousness.
Blistered by young loves' scorches
Overbearing. Smitten. Why?
Bewildered factions of trust
Undeniably eroded
Laughter to hide the pain
Altogether crushed
The heart of me cried.
Endless tears for I am
Discombobulated!!!
As sunny rain
It is wanted yet too hot
A gentle paradox
That quenches and scorches
A sunny rain
It burns still I am wet
Droplets like embers
Sizzle on my skin
A sunny rain
As loud as the calm sea
A whisper that roars
In golden-hued sheets
A sunny rain
Hidden beyond the eyes
Invisible downpour
Of light and moisture
Caught between worlds
Of fire and water
This sunny rain falls
Embracing contradictions
