well-known
on heartless shores.
Is pitiless to all

In this Equinoctial Splendor,
Around us cebelean surrender.
Nature’s love doth abound,
Leaping out of the ground.
So why’s my son still glued to Tinder?...

I set alight a fire burning bright
It was a blaze of hope, of faith
Having no tinder, I thought I might
Burn my heart; and smoke billowed, wraith.
I whittled at the carbon fuel, chipping as its lathe....

Shivering tinder, blazing breath.

Words whispered by ember’s death. 

The last gasp of the risen;

slowly falling unto tomorrow’s shadow.

Sleep comes even,

to the wicked.

"...if you are too careful love will not find you." ~Rumi

If you are not careful
Love will find you,

Like fire finds a tinder.

gone
is the
man who showed
such great courage
on these heartless shores
hard to believe
Tinder Grant
not here
gone

A desert temple built as art beckons wounded hearts in need 
That which shades a weary soul is written on its tinder frame
The phoenix born from temple flames engulf the hurt - a healing pyre

What's gods currency?
What would you do, if there was nothing to do, but find it?
Seems we'd be on an odyssey for a redeemed community
To spruce up the defoliated faces
Cut the noose of ornamental laces
The quest of placing tinder, in lights focal graces 
Go...

Empty Thoughts-Never Acknowledged dreams
they are not the means nor the end, 
they are like wet tinder
they do not spark, and as you wait for them to dry and become something of use
your life withers away and night turns to day
you lose the need for fire

The sun spills
through the early
August leaves, and I
remember nothing,
nothing of love or
the fiery tongue
of youth, here, on
this dry ground, is
only tinder,
only the wind
catching the cracked
branch,
and each the tender
ashes scatter once
more
into the shimmering
August sun...

The so called Tinder Swindler is a Coward
He is a Joke
One Netflix documentary and the pathetic little man
Vanished in a puff of smoke
An imaginative guy whose games are over now
Plastic surgery may transform that face
But the evil that resides in those eyes and soul can never be replaced!...

' Such sinful acts would awake the inviting darkness into the fervent misdeeds of carnal lust, that burn in the heat of an ever raging pyre; where the scorching heat is a consuming hell of pleasure to those who crave in the tinder of  its wanting rebellion. '.

Enticing fantasies, Love's ember,
Ensconcing dreams, Love's befriender,
Engendering hopes, Love's lender,
Enthralling desires, Love's tinder
 
Endearing charms, Love's render,
Enterprising schemes, Love's contender,
Endowing passions, Love's commender,
Enduring affections, Love's surrender....

Small shards of Flint stone, picked from the quarry’s rubble
Blacksmith-bent bit of iron, wrapped around my fisted knuckles
Strike strike strike spark!
Charred cloth poised to catch, glowing grows with gentle breath
Introduced to fine fibered tinder, Suddenly aflame, yabba dabba doo!

A young Tinder pro from Roanoke
on his dates liked to play a big joke.
He would cause women fear.
Meeting them, he’d appear
in disguise as an old, ugly bloke.

It's Spring and it's snowing again.
I look up and watch it descend.
All through the Winter we hunt wood and tinder,
Waiting for Spring to begin. 

Now Spring is finally here.
You'd think we'd be filled with cheer.
I saw the first Robin his head was a-bobbin.
He's freezing his tush it's quite clear....

inspiration burns
turns a spark
from the tinder
     of imagination
into a flame..
          a flame
that gathers up
          experience
burnishes and
             refines
a nugget of emotion
into an image, then
crystallize as a phrase
to become
      a spoken word,
a voice
from
the seeing eye...

Love from Tinder Grant,
so tender, and wishing me it all,
it all, before he flew away.

Tinder, Tinder,
the magic recall of his name
now he has gone.

He must fly back,
and tender love again to me,
oh, Tinder, gloriously.

Grant it to happen soon
oh gods high up above,
that Tinder comes to me.

beautiful day

the wind will dry the ground
as nature intended

the beginnings of Spring - ever
so splendid

with the long months of Winter
my mind is a splinter

staying indoors where it's dry
like a pile of tinder

soon flowers will bloom - Winters
witch to fly off on her broom

no more to feel like
a land of doom...
