Mirror
Want to hold you
until those shivers peter out,
until violence is erased,
a blank slate -
like your torso,
unmarked,
want to lick
the cause of those shivers
as water - pooled,
naval, basin,
their changed form,
your changed form
radiating heat beneath oceans,
sensations induced become
a prayer, the nails
that bite deep enough
to taunt a balance
between pleasure
and fear,
I can unpick the fear
the nick on your neck,
the kink left in your hair,
venom in an eye ...

Embers of Empowerment
If fire could talk, what tales it would tell
Flames of love, and flames of hell
Consuming those in thoughts who dwell
And burning those whose secrets they'll never tell
Oh, if only flames could speak
They'd burn both the strong and the weak
Fueling those whom answers seek
Illuminating lives that feel so bleak
Yes, how I wish for flames to hold
Even if my soul they'd scold
Reforming fire so proud and bold
You live in my heart, your searing hold
Flames of love, and flames of hell
Consuming those in thoughts who dwell
And burning those whose secrets they'll never tell
Oh, if only flames could speak
They'd burn both the strong and the weak
Fueling those whom answers seek
Illuminating lives that feel so bleak
Yes, how I wish for flames to hold
Even if my soul they'd scold
Reforming fire so proud and bold
You live in my heart, your searing hold

Elementary
How truly simple they are
having come so far
from then to now
from when to how
Aristotle finally unfurled
this mystic magic of the world
how these divine four
have come to mean much more
ever since before antiquity
yet still revealing all our inequity

Phoenix...
Known by many names
I am reborn within the flames
that dance about the night
shedding an unflattering light
Upon all the these things I see
these things still vexing me
all those false promises made
from both ends of the blade
Always seem to again cut
no matter how high I strut
as if I do not really care
my fine plumage in the air
Shows my true fashion sense
in both past and future tense
so retro in this garb I wear ...

Candles
These lit flames do flow
spread all that they now know
in a fierce yet flickering light
inspiring a bickering fight
As I again battle me
once more trying to see
all that remains unseen
all that I seek to still glean
From the igniting of this flame
from the mere whispering of its name
spread all that they now know
in a fierce yet flickering light
inspiring a bickering fight
As I again battle me
once more trying to see
all that remains unseen
all that I seek to still glean
From the igniting of this flame
from the mere whispering of its name

Pyric
Every single spark longs to burn
just as every pupil seeks to learn
for all of this consumption feeds
each of my many mortal needs
These needful things I long for
this less that still longs for more
wanders through my halcyon days
in a faint pontifical haze
A sacrificial flame set again afire
only in the end to blend upon the pyre
just as every pupil seeks to learn
for all of this consumption feeds
each of my many mortal needs
These needful things I long for
this less that still longs for more
wanders through my halcyon days
in a faint pontifical haze
A sacrificial flame set again afire
only in the end to blend upon the pyre

Elementals
Funny how they do conspire
beginning first with primal fire
to burn the bramble brush.
Until I feel the chilling rush
of a falling autumn breeze
resonate in these painted trees.
Right before more cold rains
invoke long forgotten pains;
this reawakening hurt
resurrected from barren dirt.

Frustration Fire Fit
I am going to scream!!!
I got to let this out NOW
You know what I mean?
~
Nothing is at it seems
The frustration never seems to end
I am so sad mad
~
I need to write this
Or else I will have a fit
No one to talk to
~
I guess this is it
Senryu is what I spit
Ignited fire lit
I got to let this out NOW
You know what I mean?
~
Nothing is at it seems
The frustration never seems to end
I am so sad mad

Or else I will have a fit
No one to talk to

Senryu is what I spit
Ignited fire lit

Fire Monsoon
Let’s break the rules
Create a twilight sunset
To intertwine our scents
Fan flames so high
With feathers of lust
Upon the midnight sky
Sear an orange glow
A flickering ember stroll
Caressed onto curious souls
Cinders sent from high above
Careful not to wake up
The resting tired world
Me and you
A Fire Monsoon
Burning down the moon
Create a twilight sunset
To intertwine our scents
Fan flames so high
With feathers of lust
Upon the midnight sky
Sear an orange glow
A flickering ember stroll
Caressed onto curious souls
Cinders sent from high above
Careful not to wake up
The resting tired world
Me and you
A Fire Monsoon
Burning down the moon

Sappho probably said it better
But I cannot
simply dismiss
the way they
said about
how I wasn't
kidding about
my towering
resistance
and I recall
how patience
grew thinner
than a single
hair strand,
feeling
heat rise
in-between
two columms
waiting for
divine miracles
to descend on
their narrow
stairwell.
I've always
been about
the waiting
like having
enough time
in the day to
catch prey
as soft faces ...

Unquenchable Flame
He stood there watching, unable to look away,
As she made her way through the room, like a queen at play.
Her presence was magnetic, her confidence a sight to see,
He couldn't help but wonder what it was that drew him to thee.
Her eyes held a spark of desire, a flame that set his heart ablaze,
He longed to reach out and touch her, to be lost in her fiery gaze.
But something held him back, a fear he couldn't quite explain,
For he knew that once he took the step, things would never be the same.
And so he stood there, watching from afar, ...
As she made her way through the room, like a queen at play.
Her presence was magnetic, her confidence a sight to see,

And so he stood there, watching from afar, ...

Feisty Fire
She walks with a confidence, a charisma so bright,
Her presence commands attention, like the stars in the night,
Her eyes hold a mystery, a spark of desire,
A flame that burns deep, like an unquenchable fire.
Her beauty is wild, like a rose in the thorn,
And I feel a pull, like a moth to a lantern,
For she is the light, that guides me to shore,
The warmth in the night, that leaves me wanting more.
Her feisty nature, so fierce and bold,
Can make me nervous, yet I'm so enthralled,
For within her, there's a passion, an untamed desire,...
