Short Smoulder Poems

How you burn the fuel
 of life-  As faint slow smoulder
Or raging bonfire?

Raven on my shoulder, emitting faint smolder,
swirling, formed a vision with self-like precision....

Never burnt
kinda smoulder
ashes never ember
nothing left to burn
disappointed choose
how to lose the lose
is there any body out there
or am i singing to the sun
no one seen my madness...yet...

Philosophical usually means “of the brain”
To this guy it usually means a real brain drain
As we all get older
Our brains still smoulder
But our drive takes a detour to a different plane...

She’d statuesque legs, and eyes that smoulder
Over came Jacques, tipped her on the shoulder 
              ‘Excuse-moi, femme fatal’
              ‘J’adore’ your bearded pal
“Does she have ‘un pistolet’ or holster?”

She dances, she glances
Beyond her shoulder
She peers
Looking back
Her beautiful smile
She poses in the mirror

Eyes meet, hearts beat
Beginning to smoulder
He appears
In reflection
Their beauty framed
Revealed in the mirror...

A sand blown whisper taunts my soul 
With rippling samba’s rigmarole 

This soul perspires mosaic paint 
As rose vine perfume makes me faint.

Souls breathe fire to yearn and smoulder 
Seismic vision makes us bolder 

Brazenly two souls rub noses
Wild sirocco dust our poses...

I
am
a new
verse. A 
New Page
My silver tongue
so full of his love that
I 
am
a Phoenix
who's world caught 
Afire
and I did not see the
Change until
my fingertips were covered
in the ashes
I coughed up the smoke
from my internal smoulder
and this gift from god is a surprise
I am caught in its wonder.
For a second chance is not a promise
but
an all encompassing splendor...

Hundreds of thousands 
    of postcards 
for sale 
evoke nostalgic 
     memories 
 and offer glimpses 
   of faraway lands 
Conversations about deltiololgy 
   fill the room 
Dealers have come form 
    many states and lands 
to sell their wares 
   Along with an old friend 
who is a photographer
   I prepare a piece 
about 
the 
event 
   The commerce in old 
paper 
   continues throughout the day 
  Ashes of the past still smoulder...

Soldiers of fortune caught in the construct
Captive foreign held in the menagerie
Shoulders abortion fought for my next salary
Now souls smoulder over their short daiquiri
I hate it when they’re mad at me
Tragedy had to be for a better tomorrow
War ages are coming
Prepare for the casualties
Rubble
And sorrow
Headlines a tad too hallow
Death still rages on casually
I guess it has to be

The delivery was free
Please don’t be mad at me
But whatever has to be has to be

Orbiting the organism of time
On that straight line that's mine
With that occasional curve 
That strikes a nerve that I deserve
Feeling like a hungry tiger 
Watching the sun as it's getting brighter
The knot in the rope is getting tighter
The weight of the world on my shoulders
Watching the coals sit and smoulder
Trying to express my inner thoughts
It's getting harder now, I don't like it alot!
The fire is burning now, it's getting hot!
Emotions are painful, Make it stop!...
