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

Swept Away with the Wind – #poetry – #JanuaryWriting

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

Flames of the Devil ~ #dark #poetry

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

Counting the Days ~ #freeverse #poetry

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…
