sear the gut punch of sorrow…
return innocence...

Helios beams sear
Celestial tinder recedes
Venus ember burns

A lightening bolt
goes through 
my throat
a fire comes from
the skies,
to sear the air
and strike me there
and now 
I am.........
 ALIVE!...

Black, storm cloud eyes sear, roil
smog-aged burnt skin-
Soul is old...torn

All by the age of six.

gentle words I hear
but when written they appear
      to burn and to sear.

              BUT

      misunderstandings
   can all be erased if we
       say "I am sorry."...

So what happens now?
Now that the dance has ended and we’ve said goodbye.

When will the tears cease to burn my eyes?

And when will the cold that chills my heart
Cease to sear my soul?...

Burning eyes in the darkest night; sear through the moonlights rays.
In the distance, a mournful howling; cracks the air, in two.
Transformation complete; the quickening carnivore descends!

Although the flames bite my fingers
I touch the fire,
Bask in it,
Feel the heat,
Burn my skin.
Every time he speaks to me
The flames get hotter.
Even though the words
Sear my soul
They soothe my heart....

Sauteed onions and mushrooms
        Choice Filet Mignon 
    Wrapped in a piece of bacon
          Sear it on the grill
          Cook until it's rare
             Place on a plate
                     EAT...

black white keys
cowed in  pain and hurt
great and deep 

years of dreams
sear by one's blind trust
spent by age

This pan just won't do,
As you can see it's dirty,
Put it through the wash.

Can water purge grease,
Not hot or cold but scalding,
Enough to sear flesh.

Unwanted blotches,
And all things original,
Are not fit for kings....

It started with just a simple look
A gaze that melted my insides
It made my knees weaken so
That I could barely stand
How on earth could eyes
Sear so deeply
Into me
Desire
Hmm?

You can burn a book,
but never burn its truth
The flames sear the meaning,
tattooed at the root

Dousing this sacrilege,
my felony went untried
Escaping with the Muse in tow
—a fugitive decried

mists enshroud the trees

          sol intervenes to sear earth

                    haze will dissipate

Watch the fire,
it leaps and rolls,
serenading and mesmerizing,
drawing one to its edge
defying you
to want to touch 
its blossoming brightness
flowing from log to ember
ready to sear away 
the supple flesh
  encasing our vitals....

Shrouded in imaginary fear
Consciousness contracting
Illusionary demons sear
In dark shadows cowering 

Cause being our attachment
To that that is impermanent 
Self blocking bliss contentment 
Stagnating in gluey sediment

Bleeding through the sky
The self proclaimed Goddess 
Wept once more
For her brother is on the floor
With her husband dead as a door
While she is in the sky
Hanging from
Hang
Feet below
The floor is gone 
There is only 
Sky 
Soar
Sear
Babel...

Inspirations echo in the mind
Images converge,blur,deline
In glass,smoked lightly blind;
Shapes imagined erase
In esoteric haze
Where light bright tones
Soften and shade in foreground was;
Colours sear in shadows fringed
In glass,smoked lightly tinged....

To suffer thus 
Outwardly steel 
Absence of fuss

Inwardly crumble 
Smile never fading
Tumble after tumble 

Solitary tears
Sear cold flesh
Release silent fears

Forget, move on
Tomorrow another day 
Forgot, gone

To suffer thus 
Is only human
like us...

MOCHA


Your eyes sear me
softly singing words
without words intense
mocha warmth 
hot strong coffee
myriad heated thoughts
explode my brain
implode my being
to mere 
...
speech
...
less
...
ness

Seasons
By: Tom Wright

Spring is the preferred time,
for daydreams to appear.
When Summer comes along,
these dreams often sear.

But Fall is readying itself,
to exhibit sudden change.
A precursor to Winter, the blahs,
and a Christmas gift exchange.

Decorating the house with reds, greens, silvers and gold.
The Christmas season simply never gets stale or old.
Jesus is fine, Santa a big deal for the excited children here.
Who can resist frosting stars, bells and trees with grandma dear?
Christmas is our go-to holiday, makes my heart sear....

I shall remain here
To you remain near...

So, have no fear
Of one who's dear;
By me crowned Deer;
Here's your head gear...

But I need beer,
Its thirst a sear:
To me quite clear
I can't "wait" bear...

Yes, wish to hear 
"Here's my cold beer"
To at thirst jeer:
Push to the rear....

glitzy colored rhinestones
popping in and out 
with the help of the light
looking like pirate's loot
worn on grandma's coat
left over from 1942
a spider or a tiger
sometimes a snake
holiday brings out better ones
memories sear through relatives
glitzy colored rhinestones
pinned on those who remember...
