in the crimson and gold,
you burn the brightest,
the stories you've told,
left me ignited.
the flame flickers and cracks,
don't leave at dawn.
i light the candle wax,
i breathe the smoke you exhale,
fill my lungs with scorching embers.
the gasoline left a fiery trail,
your blazing temper never fails.
I am always thinking, always contemplating problems in life
I always has a thought, an opinion, or something to say
Never did I falter for an answer
Then one day she walked in
And her eyes met mine
pink cheeks
rosy like blooms that burst when you compliment me.
you say my name
and everything else falls like petals, sinking
down
down
down.
Watching the light slowly fade from a person you love is like watching your favorite candle burn to the end of its wick.
It burns through us all, every person on the planet.
It is a fast and fearless monster. Stopping the force of the creature seems impossible.
Your flame-seared name...
It burns...
When I learned of you,
Dear Flame,
The games you play,
The hearts you slay,
When I found this out
All thoughts of you
Just went away
A single flame that burns inside you
It's passion and compassion that lights your way
One single flame can help guide you
Love is beautiful
Love is kind
Love does not hate
Nor does it discriminate
It takes effort to build
yet takes none to destroy
Though in its purest form
One can see
Sometimes
The earth shakes
The ground splits
The heavens rumble
Drastic.
Sometimes
The waters drip
The tide ebbs
The earth erodes
Slow.
I have become full
Cast away the fire
throw away the flame
are you growing tired?
feel nothing but the pain
place it on the pyre
your demons are to blame
mirrors are reminders
of the beast you cannot tame
Mom lights a candle
A diya, a lamp
I have to choose
Red or blue
Voices of reason
Larger, louder
As the fire grows, and you take the blows, the real fight begins.
Shots coming for the outside and within.
The city crumples and the shouts ring clear, all hope begins to disappear.
A flash of light and darkness covers the moor
Just a little thing. A spark and nothing more
But for a moment the sky ignites
For only a moment Light and Darkness fight
The Shadows kept at bay
Flames burned through the night
They wouldn’t be put down without a fight.
Determination etched off each spark
Lighting up every inch of the dark.
Alone I sit in the dark,
Cold, broken, torn apart.
Shackled to a wall of fears,
Tied down by my own tears.
My voice stuck deep in my throat,
I reach to grasps the words that choke,
The heat of my heart is a white-hot flame
It bears my values, my views and my name
Embers burn my tongue, refuse to be bound
Smoke billows upwards, lost but not found
Shimmering, Glimmering, small...
Powerful yet frail...
Darkness will try time and time again to swallow you whole,
To no avail...
Dear friend, you keep my feet planted on the Ground
A million cities burning in my mind
Send thick black smoke in pillars to the sky.
The earth lets out a deep and mournful sigh,
Its children turned so violent, so unkind.
Say the words you know will burn a fire within me
Say the ones that you think will push me
Say them.
Please say them.
Becuase I promise then,
I won't feel bad walking away.
Our love is a fire, brightly lit in the cold.
As the lights around fade, the flame becomes bold.
It waves
and ripples
and grows
in it's power.
I gave up a lot
To pursue this love
But now it seems
That I was blind and dumb
I dedicated my life
My entire childhood
To pursue a dream
I smell the flame when I see you smile. Your jubilant charisma delights my soul. When I saw you at the trauma center, I grabbed your hand and grinned. Life is like opportunity, it only knocks on your door once.
She Became Aflame
Shining under starlight
Creeping among the twilight
Cuts and bruises, scar your heart
One day, my shoulders will give inDefiance will admit defeat, and they willDrop, like theBone-weary man wrapped around himself, shivering in the cold.
There is a fire
that wells
inside of my stomach
A raging flame
slowly burning every inch
of my flesh
as darkness settles over
inching
creeping
The flames licked her side as she laid on the ground.
Tears fell from her eyes.
She couldn't move.
Disabled rom the unforeseen fall down two flights of stairs.
She knew if she did not move she wouldn't make it.
The ice that envelopes me is melting
Yet I shiver all the while
As my soul and mind returns
from the brink of disaster.
The hibernation of my spirit ends
as flaming joy warms my frostbitten body.
Fiery arrows, bullets, shells all fly
Collide with a building that cannot cry
Angry flame steals away
The days of the building’s sway
Many times has it come through
With a mighty and powerful breakthrough
You were the devil in disguise,
so my love for mystery and mischieve was sweetened.
When former friends were disgusted with your
new candy coating,
I grew to like your unfamiliar taste.
You jetted in and stole my heart away.
Left a hole of death in its flame proof space.
Leaving flesh to lay, burning and decay.
My heart was her: beauty and acid lace.
You had what I wanted and did not care.
the fire cackles, laughing manically as it leaps from branch to branchtreetop to treetop, hollow to hollow,destroying all in its wakenimbly wriggling through the dense undergrowth
A brush of color through silvered night air,
Paints a dragon’s false shape, starlit shining
Majesty with which no one can compare.
Aurous beast, streak through the wind like lightning
She remembered the noise, the omnipresent voice
Of her conscience in her head
She remembered the dark, but not how it’d start
The conflagration that left her for dead
In the dark of night and day,
Forgotten, ghosts cry their mournful song,
The ashes in their billowing plumes sway
In the dark of night and day.
Don't let it go
Fight the urge to die
Always needing more,
Reaching and fighting for more
Let it burn
Don't let it go
Fight the urge to die
