Premium Member LOVE'S FLAME

Speak not to me
Of lust
Bold flame
That scorches all but time
Nor love
Forever’s burning embers
Cold keeper of this flame

sun scorches earth to fine dust

bountiful harvest of death

Noontime

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

Craving Ac

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

Parallels

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.

The Horse Shall Race the Fire

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

Premium Member Turn Up the Heat

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

Premium Member Desiccated Life

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.

Tropical Fishfood

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

Premium Member Dog Days

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. ---------- for The Sky in July Poetry Contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich written on 07/02/2022

The haunted hospital marble

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.

Ecstasy and Pain

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.

Blazing Heat

The blazing sun
     scorches lonely daydreams—
He saunters like a penguin
    lemonades in hand. 
We two laughed until moonlight.

Pain of Love

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.

Premium Member Summer Fun

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

Premium Member The Universe Winks

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

Attachment the Weakness

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

Premium Member The End of Despair

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 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
     By Dane Smith-Johsnen

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!!!

A Sunny Rain

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
