Dynasties of white water

Set ablaze in memory of mother.
Wind claims ashes....

My gray maze was set ablaze.
There's only one way out of this blue haze I'm in.

My Headfire set ablaze
Waking my slumbering brain
New thoughts created
Filling me with ideas
Driving me daily to write

The blood boiled 
In the pit of frustration set ablaze
With the wrath and the rage of the day’s
Constant commotion—can’t clear the haze
Of chaos causing and creating this craze....

Politics have become a joke these days
Respect for the office has been set ablaze
Used to holler and hoot
Stand up and salute
Respect for the flag with our two eyes raised...

Though warmth may linger through your final days, 

old Sun is waning, yet he still seems strong! 

You're passing on, and trees are set ablaze. 

September, you’re a melancholy song. ...

How many lines to a poem?
No way to answer as thoughts start to roam.

A word, a phrase, slips to joy and then malaise
 and suddenly with inspiration, words are set ablaze.

#1
Footstep dies away
My atrophied heart
listens the howl of tempest
#2
She broke out, choked, tearful
Her house caught fire
Caskets of memories set ablaze
#3
Vast expanse, solitary tree
She was wiggling
She lost her eggs in desolate moon...

Beautiful Autumn, trees set ablaze,
golden and scarlet, always amaze.
Yet, I long for spring, for soon I know,
Autumn's song fades into winter's snow.
I long for green--new life everywhere,
spring's gusty music, magic in air!

Dawn
sunrise
daylight breaks
the sun beams down
colours set ablaze
shadows slowly lengthen
now the sun begins to set
dusk now rules over the earth
shyly the moon peeks out
starlight brightens all
twinkling silver
in the sky
darkness
fades...

I miss you here




Sudden blush on face
as my sobbing heartbeats throb,
How I missed you all these days ;
Yearnings set ablaze 
to melt in your warm embrace,
Tears burn my rosy red cheeks.

Heart set ablaze, returning your gaze
Conveyance of want and desire
Beating in time with yours fit in rhyme
Blood coursing through, set afire
With passion unbridled, the chapter untitled
Pulse racing, breath taking thought
Yearning for you as I always do
Your touch and embrace have I sought...

within my walls,
within my head,
comfort zones,
and walls are dead,
running wild,
chasing stars,
in a cage,
fighting bars,
lost in thought,
vivid dreams,
stains are cleared,
in colored streams,
the wishing well,
deep and dark,
is set ablaze,
with one small spark.

One might think this refers to the wascally wabbit of Disney fame
But it's a Scottish term meaning being exhausted like after a bedtime game
You know when you mess up the sheets
While screeching out some joyous shrieks
Hang on, need a break, apparently my loins have been set ablaze...

This black night, cast asleep
i've walked into midnights dream
Animal calls and talking trees
the sidewalk smiles with crooked teeth
A tired moon yawns while giants lay
A star littered sky is set ablaze
The soft wind wanders
like the astronomer
as it keeps me company
in a bright world sundered...

Oh stars, even stars! Even the suns
whose undying light breathes life into all
countless mortal creatures across the universe,
whose sisters are their gods, whose risings set their clocks,
whose settings set ablaze the fire in their lovers’ eyes,
even they, even they are consumed
in the heartless Void!...

If only I can turn back 
The time,
I will gladly do. And 
rewrite the love letter 
I gave to you, beside the beach 
where we had our last  
and final kisses. 
If only I knew soon enough that 
everything would quickly turn
a ho-hum sea,
My worries; I would have 
set ablaze
And hold you, so tight, 
in thine arms....

Your easy motions set ablaze a hunger only my skeleton knew of 
Uncontrollably, my mind orbits the images of your nakedness instilled deep in my head
My innocent heart fails to cage the jungle of thoughts unleashed by your acts and doings
It is now too late to hunt. 
I am enticed by the forbidden marks you left close to my heart....

rise like a bird
to rise to your word
flying close to the sun 
so I can burn
set ablaze the troubles of today
so tomorrow I can learn
it's not about what is said
it's about what is heard
it's only human to question one's own birth
it's the same as questioning your worth
if you think you have it bad
trust me some have it worse...

Autumn fire






Veils of orange and red 
camouflage in season,
Quenched intense heat
in chills set to quiver,
yellow leaves turn crisp,
swing and dive,
Aroma of Liberty
taking them to roads,
Rugs on walkways,
splendid arras,
Embers set ablaze,
embrace the Autumn fire !

At the core, distractions fall to the wasteside and nature takes the stage. The face of duality blurs, while hearts unite. Fear is confronted with softness, and pain replaced with ease. The mind freed from conditioning, the ego set ablaze. Intuition leads to freedom, while doubt lays to rest. Purpose calls for a hearing, we are all to take place....

I feel rekindled of yearning the embers.
So lovely you appear to me
I believe I yearn for her.
of love I feel my heart burn
as the flames of Hecate's torch
which me from within do scorch
as a land set ablaze
with nothing left after the graze
except a heaven that remains
in the aftermath of the dancing flames,
a paradise which I call passion....

She endured the tide as it rose
arose on wings inured to strain by fate
the reign of hate, she defies to win a wish 
a lavish treat and yet a utile present
that set ablaze, hope's waning embers
then renders her fit for a quest
as it adds zest and zeal, to her bounce 
once they gel, she will stand tall on it
to withstand the test of time once again...
