Short Sears Poems

Guilt is the furnace
that sears the sacrilegious
scabs off of my skin...

The blood boils and froths 
Vapour sears; scarred and worn
Shame left, pain chronic...

shattered skies above
lightning sears my broken heart
     bolts  from love betrayed...

Chill breath
of Autumn sears
the poppy scarlet red 
visages of young men,long dead
appear....

The cold bites
Though not sharply
A long drawn out tear
Which sears the heart
Yet through the pause the heat is back on...

From the fire, from the embers
of his bungalow
he sears,
the nights latest victim
—new ash in the wind

Chitinous wings envelop me.
I can't breathe here,
The air sears my lungs.
I taste blood in the back of my throat.
The pain
is
exquisite....

separation
if it sears
pause
recognise
the movement 
without assigning
interpretations 

it is but play
awaiting union
in timeless time...

Chill breath of autumn
Sears the poppy scarlet red,
On his memory'd cenotaph.

Tears trickle in the furrowed
Faces of young comrades
.....now long dead...

each touch
of
your electric
fingertips
sears my flesh
with desires,

touch me
again,
remove
all of my
inhibitions

leave me
naked with 
my memories....

desert sun…
sears thirsty still life 
of flesh and sagebrush 

gray clouds burst 
breaching dry nostrils…
soiled, wet, smelly dog

Love drenched,
Thirst quenched,
Heart clenched.
Desire sated,
Pain abated,
Feel elated.
Tearful fears,
Yearning sears,
Love endears.

Bus monitors, support staff, heed this plea, before you are home free. Be vigilant, Check every corner, crevice, every nook you see. A child left behind, abandoned in fear, Is a wound and stain that sears....

i walk on the sun
my skin sears black
there is no light 
only darkness 
others walk the sun
every moment
a battle for life
i walk till i see
myself
and i ask
when dose he sun rise
i answer
it's doesn't
i fight my way out...

“He’s here! The great pumpkin, my dear!”
The silhouette of Snoopy sears.
Sister Sally is befuddled.
In the dark a little mud-dled.

In front of the class
she obediently stands
her fingers locked in cradled hands
with downcast eyes and trembling lip
she leaks a tear that sears her soul
then meekly voiced 
and barley heard 
she mumbles what she thinks the teacher wants.

The paper falls
The television freezes
The nusance of a sore

The site fails
The lonliness sears
The news pales

Keep going
Going in circles
Wishing and wanting, overflowing

Struggling, waiting
What's it all for?
The answer will come
When all is grating...

I sit.

Aimlessly seeking the demise of the boredom endearing. 

It comes.
It does not come.

It matters not.

For the wait..., the wait kills me a thousand times till Tuesday,
And the seeking sears my soul,
And box my heart,
In an unforeseen rage beyond past and future....

When rivers flowed down my wet eyes,
And my pillow was drenched in tears,
You were the one who heard my cries,
And helped me to chase off my fears.
I heard their sermon, of the Sears,
Even after a million tries,
I won't bring you all of the cheers,
Because that is where my fate lies....

Did we mention, our hidden fears
Brought forth in hypnosis
Past life regression, that soul sears
Unwelcome prognosis

Going with love’s feeling
Do we need this healing
Forgotten days weaving

Deep trance session
Did we mention

A town unlocks their Baptist cage.
They shout and scream unholy rage.
The scorching sun sears all beneath,
Forsaken whips snap from their teeth.
Their eyes are slits that sting of salt.
Born black; born here; it's all his fault.
And what they learned at mothers' knee,
keeps cadence, creaking, from a tree....

I raise my glass 
and give false cheers 
 
Leave on the light 
to hide my fears 
 
Wear make up 
to fade the years 
 
Bow my head 
to avoid their sneers 
 
Run in the rain 
to disguise my tears 
 
Plaster on a smile 
as inside it sears 
 
Gaze at the clock 
as the time nears 
 
Watch it slip away 
as it disappears...

Incessant longings sail on my ocean of tears,

The thoughts of you lingering,

the loss of you sears the heart like the branding of an ox.



Reading back the memories, like reading  from the end

to the beginning of a pocketbook,

Pictures flitter beckoning the past, but alas,

You already have moved on....
