Lipstick Smudge On A coffee Cup Smouldering Cigarette
A blank stare into nothingness
Suddenly I looked up as something caught my eye
A very pretty girl saunters in and buys herself a coffee
And perches herself cross-legged upon a cleared table in front of me
Among the crowded cafe din with cackling clucking hens
The mystery girl dressed divinely looking like a Bird of paradise
She flicks her hair

Smouldering
The heat.
The ache.
It comes in waves like the sea.
Tears ebb and flow and the swollen heat in my chest rises and falls.
Flames licking my ribcage and dancing up my spine.
Neck tense, face swollen.
I can’t but help think about means of escape.
Physical.
Emotional.
But I stop.
I breathe.
I breathe again.
Wiping away the last lingering tears

Smouldering Coals
SMOULDERING COALS
The sound of logs lying in flames
is the clicks of horsemen’s guns
drawn back of a bullet prepared;
Within soft light they dance silently
to their own music of togetherness.
Smouldering coals break free and away
to continue their glowing conversation
with the other breathing companions;
Friends were few at first, but as time
went by and hundreds hurled
themselves to the crowd’s

Smouldering Love
Vowed
To love
Each other
Jealousy wailed
Shattered trust, broken heart, sleepless nights, us.
Brew for woe, estranged us despair, perchance
Cupid finds one
Reignite
Smoking
Love

Smouldering Fire
The wind strokes
softly the face
Ablaze in dreams passion
silently echoes return
Love my tender light
Flickering shadows of beauty
In the ashes
the embers speaking glow
The dark side of our makeup
Broken wings of love's despair
Smouldering embers crackle and hiss
Love's light shines
through emotions this fire burns
Burning desire
In the shadows

Smouldering
~I think and know we are alike
in souls particular kink
we like to tease and tantalize
and write just what we think
passion burns unrequited
smouldering methinks
beware of the firestorm
if we should chance to meet~
~feel the sweetness
we embrace
smouldering spark
feel the taste
passion slows
but steam it builds
eruption fires
Vesuvious~ for L-M
~you look pretty hot

Smouldering
In this smoke so dense and thick with grey
I sense a smouldering so infinitely in array
Churning and churning in this maguier of fire
I see what anger the very earth can sire
What angst is in this smoulering I cannot say
However this fury I must avoid come what may
Heartbrak and thunder rule in fervor
I wait for dispersion
