Rondlets Love & Hate

Love
Love is like a fire burning
Warming you from within
Love is like a fire burning
Your heart is filled with endless yearning
You meet and a new life begins
Love is like a fire burning

HATE
Hate consumes all that is good
Destroys the beauty all around
Hate consumes all that is good
Stops us from doing what we should
Raises hopes to tear them down
Leaves no traces of love to be found
Hate consumes all that is good

Dashing (Rondine)

Run your finger along my arm
While on the loveseat we waited
Our love could not be abated
Wanting to raise no alarm
We lowered our level of charm
Keeping others from harm
But our loving fire was unsated
As Moon begin to cry

Tapping your finger in alarm
Into the back room we faded
The nearest room we raided
Almost arriving belated
It seem more than just fated
As we began to slowly warm
Away from the raging storm
As the moon began to cry

Evening

As we sit,
Sharing drinks by the fire
I feel air
From your lungs
Wrap around the base
Of my tongue
It tastes bitter and sweet,
Hot and sour all at once
I plunge into the depths of your soul
I'm drowning
You rescue me from dying in your eyes
Only to die later
In your arms

Untitled 617

Crystalline conversations with the stars
As winds chill my bones
Talking to the forgotten
Talking to myself
Only you would know or care
Who shares these whispered words
Secrets told to ghosts
Memory held in bond
A fire banked and ready
Feed the flame

Untitled 567

Open your mind and free your soul
The world is more than you know
Real life can take it's toll
Stopping your life energy and flow
Moving while standing still
Meditate to clear your mind
Unlock and take your fill
The world will be yours you'll find

Healing Kisses

Healing begins with a kiss
Such a kiss can only fan the flames
Don't blame me if I shudder under your touch
It doesn't take much to take me higher
The fire grows deadly but I don't care
Share with me Healing Kisses
Who cares if our bliss is seditious

(Fire) Burn(s)

The lack of you leaves me dry
I wither, I crumble, I crack
My ashes scatter to the sky
But no matter how hard they fly
Your magnetic pull brings me back

It may be time for a new tack
Offer the honey instead of the lime
It may not cure my lack
But it will help bide the time

Return at the end of the day
When sun still lights in your eyes
But if you must stay away
Try for the break of the day
When the next little part of me dies

But if you tell only lies
If you have no intent to return
Tell me no bittersweet goodbyes
Leave me alone, To Burn

Questions

Questions

If I forgot your name…

       Would  the wind whisper it back to me?

       Would the stars light it in the skies?

       Would the seas spill your secrets?

If my heart forgot to beat…

       Would you breathe my breath for me?

       Would you cradle me in your arms?

       Would you share your life in my veins?

If the world were to end tomorrow…

       Would air still move through the land?

       Would fire still burn?

       Would our tears quench the parched earth?

The Revolution Will Be Live-Tweeted

The Revolution Will Be Live-Tweeted

While wiling away the lonesome hours

The fire dies away

The subtle form and plays for power

It makes you hang your head

And wonder at this hate filled world

A golden prince in a handsome tower

Keeping girls at bay

What’s the difference between defend and cower?

When words can wound like weapons

Children learn to wield them well

It’s amazing that women haven’t soured

Of lives lived certain ways

There must be a collective willpower

The revolution comes ahead of schedule

It has waited long enough

The time has come to overpower

The world as now it lays

We must o’erturn the bower

Precious things can be destroyed

Only time should be that precious

Once the world has been scoured

We will have our say

No longer will hate devour

And all the world will be empowered

Generations

Generations

They go where time does not expire

And wait for no new moon

Winter falls in summer’s swoon

The creeping vine begins to seed

A world explodes in endless fire

Mouths fill with the taste of mead

And liquor turns the stoutest liar

Some obstacles become a boon

If, of our lives, we do take head

We walk all day on tight rope wires

And end up with the greatest wound

So shall we soon change our tune?

We make ourselves fulfill our need

Our grandest wish becomes desire

More will come like endless weeds

Of everything you will tire

It will come full circle soon

And the look will be parent to the deed

DO YOU EVER????

Do you ever?...

Do you ever feel like taking everything you’ve ever written, drawn, typed, sewn, composed, sung, played, recorded, or just in general created chucking it in a huge bonfire and lighting the match?  I really feel like I am identifying with Salieri lately, except he was a PUBLISHED composer and had fans and was BRILLANT.  Me?  I’m just a mouthy, nobody with a blog, a twitter, and lots of opinions.  That’s why I try to create new forms of poetry, like my gif poem, or the internet concrete poem.  I figure if no one ELSE has done them I can’t be shown up right? 

Sooner or later though, someone will come around with the wits to improve my paltry ideas.  After all, there are more things in heaven and earth, right? They say there are only seven stories after all.  I wonder if they have adjusted that saying to have more gender inclusive romantic storylines.  I say romance is romance, no matter who is giving and who is receiving, or how many!  The drama of a story comes from the angst.  The tenor and tone of the story can change depending on the mores and morals of society but the basis of the story stays the same.  That is true whether you change the settings or the characters or the sex!  Romeo and Juliet could be Romeo and Caesar and it would be the same story, maybe even easier to understand! 

But I, personally, have been having writer’s block lately.  Call it the 3 M’s. Migraines, Megrimes, and Monthlies. LSIDC I do love how every time a woman is in a bad mood a man everyone blames it on her period.  I was writing that men do this but I realized women do it just as much.  We may do it in a sticky sweet, back biting, condescending way, but we do.  Men may not realize the amount of cat calling and sniping that goes on between women because a lot of it is subtext.  Thing are said that are call backs to past conversations, or said between clenched teeth, or with baited breath. Women are never going to get anything from men until we stop GIVING IT to each other!

Well, I started this post trying to clear my head so that my writer’s block.  I’m not sure if that worked.  I still feel like setting all my stuff on fire.  I don’t think I’ll do it.  It’d take too long to gather it together.  But if you see a blaze lighting up half of North America…

Comet

Oh my bright and burning star

Some would stay you’re falling

It’s just that you blaze so radiantly

The Earth has turned her back on you

You have a path, a steady course

Returning to give us bliss

Never altering your initial trail

Although we may not see its plan

Some may see a heart of ice

Some may see a trail of fire

I see a journey half completed

And the future yet to come

Wondering

Wondering

I’ve lost my footing along the way

I no longer hold my head up high

Would anyone wonder why?

Whether at work or at play

No longer able to throw cares away

Ever wondering why

This has to be the way

Life is lived in brief spans

Mine seem to be mainly tired

Longing for holding of hands

Filled with a burning desire

But eminently lacking in plans

Ending in a gulf of fire

Sexual Politics

Sexual Politics

Endless potential in motion

A chance, perpetually begun

The world is your oyster my friend

Joining the battle is half the fun

Call out the trumpets of glory

Time to start a new story

We begin by tilting at blades

Where are the giants to slay?

We must rescue the honorable maids!

But the maids no longer need rescuing

In fact, they’re the ones raining fire!

Fairy Tales are hopelessly outdated

But without them you never feel sated

So we’re left with an unknown system

It’s very hard to assist them

To help slay the dragons, it’s hard to know

When people don’t behave as they should

Who’s to remember which side is good?

Content

Flying high so close to the sun

The flames are burning higher

Enjoy your time of fun

The passion of a burning fire

Burns brightly and fervid in the mind

As long as pleasure never tires

Providing nourishment for the mind

Can counteract any ennui

Give partners time to unwind

No question about it, patience is key

We’ve heard it time and again

The love we share will keep us free

If this is not your ideal plan, call me friend

I’ll content myself with just that

I’ll rather be wanted then hated again

But once we were a lot of fun

We walked on tightrope wires

But as the years unwind

We’ve learned just to be

Even if our hearts will rend

I’ll content myself with that

Simply

Cozy up and Cuddle

Run your hands through my hair

Nothing more

Relaxing by the cackling fire

You with your whisky

My, my tea

Each of us our books

Noses buried

Simply being together

That’s enough

Sharing each other’s space

Our hearts

Taste

A taste is all you receive

Too much turns sour

Only a brief tease

Never enough

Only a shining moment

Burning so hot

Fire volcanic

Then burned out

Go before it is begun

Oh Candle,

Flame brightly!

But never seem

As though you

Have been lit

No Words

Someday never comes

Tomorrow waits for none

If you can hear me, answer

Cause my darkness screams in the night

My throat is raw, I’ve screamed so much

My tears burn fire down my cheeks

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever ended

My terror frightens me

I have no words

Anguish is a lesson in patience

Sorrow is a tale written in woe

There is no longer a hiding place

Time is all that’s left

Dead Men

Trailing tongues of fire

Teasing, tantalizing, taunting

Taking me to soaring towers

Teach me your theories

I’ve had a taste

And it’s toxic

My traitorous tongue

Will tell tales

I’m tumbling on a tenuous thread

The tiniest tremor

Would topple me

This tryst

Is transcendent

Out of This World

Touch me softly

Delicately love

Wind your way up my thigh

Your presence anchors me to this world

Sometimes urgency outweighs

Valor or reticence

So much more is needed now

Your kisses keep me in this world

Trailing primal fire

Barest grazes

Stroking in time to heartbeats

You draw me back into this world

Pursing higher heights

Titillating, taunting, teasing

The time for subtlety has passed

I’m no longer of this world
