Blackened smoldering
Wood rising steam hazy sun
Autumn dew dripping
Blooming flower brilliant red
Resurrected from the dead.

Leaving embers burning

Fierce raging riqq fire
Smoldering bare feet arching 
Flickering bright scarves

Women contaminating unborn children
With killer lungs
Slowly became our unwanted deceptive profit
And yet will clearly continue

Straddling the candle,
too close to the flame

A fiery benediction

With smoldering eyes

His gaze leaves me feeling weak.

Two Worlds Colliding

fired for being late
smoldering resentment
flips a cigarette

Yellowstone in flames
twenty years in prison
trees answer back

cold’s fire rages
against dawn’s smoldering clouds
calliope colors sing
a treetop chorus
sad songs of jubilation
fulfilling soft budded dreams

Love is always  smoldering when we wash it on ourselves,
but brilliant when we shower it on others.

peering
into
the nightly 
abyss
a surprise
the guest
awaiting
gently
she reeled him
inward
down, down
putting
his blistered
wings
to her

Smoldering Thoughts

Rings of smoke drift out
                            from the chimney of my mind 
                                                               and souls fireplace.

Nightmare

Pungent sounds sullen, sullying,
Feelings stark, severe, stressful,
Aflame, singed, searing, smoldering,
Thoughts surging, seeping, slinking,

Placid…As my eyes awaken…

Misty as the powder of my soul
The demi-god of legend
Haunts like snakeskin
Wandering my dreams
Igniting my being
Begging for your touch
Smoldering my loneliness
Forever

A little spark of dalliance bursts a humongous flame,

         now it's white-hot passion growing too wild to tame

Candle in the wind,
candle's in the wind -

Pulsating a weak flame;
burning to a smoldering
end -

Premium Member Of Wingless Doves

Ah Peace,
You disheveled outcast
Hiding in the heart
Of wingless doves
Shivering in cage-less
Confinement 
Clinging to a charred
Sunrise
Smoldering
In the madness
Of god-less
Gods

Premium Member Boxing Gloves and Dead Sea Scrolls

Dark thoughts twitching on a nightstand.
Wrinkled -bloated-bloodied.
Like an ancient boxing glove.
Powerless-broken-longshot.

A dead sea scroll- smoldering. 
In the chambers of a burned-out heart.

Premium Member Fracking Up

seeping from beneath
a bilious hate
a thick and blackened rage
containment breached
small fissures
mar the core
of tortured fate
smoldering ruins
of a life
to date
