Malcontent
"God's little gift is on the rag
poster girl posing in a fashion mag" ~ Sheryl Crow
I have always been irreverent
a perpetual malcontent
storming through my days
setting the world ablaze
Striking one match at a time
in order to ignite another rhyme
usually burning my fingers
relishing the pain which lingers
A beautiful arsonist indeed
taking more than all I need
just to make a point
just to again self-anoint
Whether lit bridges or love
my life loves to shove
sentiment over...

Looking out for number one
Little boy left for hardly 15 minutes
The sitter had gone to the store for some cigarettes and soda
When she returned she saw the fire engines in front of the house
She saw the smoke & flames
She found out that the little boy she was babysitting had lit his little brother's crib on fire
The baby was burned to death
He used the matches she had left on the table
He had heard that the only child gets more attention from the parents
With more love & extra dessert
He was only looking out for number one

Wildfire
Fire, we fear flames seeking to obliterate
to cleanse forest and planes and the land
can grow again a new cycle begin.
There are flowers that only bloom after
a fire, got a name too, ephemerals can
cover mountainsides and hide ancient
ice-age painting in my beloved Peru
We are strangely attracted to to flames
wish they could rinse our sins
but we have great terror of hell's fire
We do dread the fire in humans heart
passion can be wonderful but also
ruinous and manifest itself as greed ...

Do You Want To Get It On?
After they got themselves out of the
rain, Brad lit a match to start a
fire before he saw Claire getting naked and
asking "Do you want to get it on?"

Ignite
Strike a match, go on and do it" ~ Shawn Colvin
The gift of a Greek Titan
in my hand
flames to command
with just a strike
How I do more than like
this red tip sulfur stick
in search of a waxed wick
to fight the darkness
Huddle in the warm glow
finally able to know
wisdom
illumination
With a mere gesticulation
flick of the wrist
a little poetic twist
just to preserve the rhyme ...

Autopsy of the Candy Apple
Dissecting the spectacle
limbless woman with tentacles
contortionists jump on trampolines
masturbating in your wet dreams
Clowns perform, drunk with sorrow
fortunes read, no more tomorrow’s
freaks shock as you watch in awe
kids frightened running towards the door
Vomited up food after some rides
sawdust, Lysol, you feel like your gonna die
at last, the show is about to begin
large audience, the lights turned dim
Animals dance, balance, and sway
lion tamer controls, keeping them at bay
cigar tossed as a...

The Missing Link
The tree and the bird
the bee and the flower
the sun and the moon
the heat and the shower
The silence and the sound
the ear and the music
the heart and the feeling
the brain and the thinking
The wild and the wise
The Human and Nature
the wild is inborn
the wise is artificial
From the wild comes the rule
Into the wise mind instilled
While the city is the filter
The rules then, are broken
Nature's facts disfigured
all the trees became timber
the animals...
the bee and the flower
the sun and the moon
the heat and the shower
The silence and the sound
the ear and the music
the heart and the feeling

Distant smoke rising
There will be no sleep tonight
I take my last drag
There will be no sleep tonight

april song 16—fire
flammable sometimes, the temper,
even deadly in its ember;
who can pacify a furnace,
when with rage it burns in earnest?
purify my wanton dreaming
that your tongues, for my redeeming,
may appoint me to rejoice in
kinder metaphoric cruisin.
an aspiring pyromaniac,
straddling burning candles bareback,
fascinated by the flame dance,
withers in his budding romance.
yellow flames in low combustion
leave fair room for verbal fustian,

Try Me
Try.
Try to push me down.
Try to crush me under your boot.
I’ll stare at you with fire in my eyes
Until you realize
I will burn
I will burn so bright
No one will be able to ignore me
I will light the fire
It’s time for me to be the green fucking fire
Try to push me down.
Try to crush me under your boot.
I’ll stare at you with fire in my eyes
Until you realize
I will burn
I will burn so bright
No one will be able to ignore me
I will light the fire
It’s time for me to be the green fucking fire

To Our Sin, Brother
Remember when we were way too young
To be up past one. Outside burning smores
Being chased by your campfire smoking.
Curiously poking sticks in to set ablaze.
What about those days, late teens, when
We should have been way too busy
But way too dizzy, burning joints by night
And in folly's height, cutting our classes
Or twenties, in ashes, burning midnight oil
Via two packs, royals, and smelling like shit
I prayed your grit would be smoothed over,
With work, dumb rovers, and tons of money
Thirty's: found my Bunny,...
