You flow through me
Like an inferno, raging on
My heart burns for you
Longing for the touch
Of the flame you ignite
I melt, in your hands
As you invade my soul
With desirous thoughts
Answered, exhausted
We burn, in passion’s heat
Setting the world on fire

Not much greenery left behind
As heat takes charge, of the land
One tree stands out, from them all
She fancies herself rather grand
Always posing, in mysterious ways
She likes to show off her style
Though the gray, has started to show
What is left, still makes her smile
A gust of wind, on the open range
And her hair blows, out of control
Withered, she bends, to the breeze
As the days start to take their toll
Ever ageless, though aging fast
From the wind, she no longer recoils
Counting the moments, until, at last
She returns, once again, to the soil
January Writing Prompt – Swept away with the wind, her hair looked a mess – Day 9/31

Authors note: I hope you’ll indulge me as I play a bit with fire (no pun intended). My life is at a point where stress has taken a hold and will not release. As such, I am finding more darker writings, as my mind tends to travel a bit far 😉 If you’re so inclined, please read on….Thank you.
With a flick of her finger, a wave of her hands
Sparks of the devil, ignite where she stands
Beauty is captured, in the glow of the fire
Spiraling upward, higher and higher
Conjuring heat, she‘s alive with the flames
Awaiting the fallen, whose souls she reclaims
Fear this demon, the one in which you confide
Her fire burns quickly, once your life is denied

It’s too hot to sleep
Sweat drips from my pores
Like icicles melting in the sun
The sweltering heat envelops
Even a run through the sprinkler
Offers no respite from
The ball of fire in the sky
I fan myself with the daily paper
Nothing cools down ’round here
Even the ripples of heatwaves
Swirling off the pavement
Are hot enough to fry an egg
So this is summer, they say
Dog days and Chablis nights
And here I sit….
Counting the days
Til autumn…
