inner flame & other poems

Inner Flame


A Ruby
sparkles with its inner
glow.

You are
the Dweller
within.

We are the fire
that burns through
the Mindful Soul.

Your lips
quench
mine

_______________

Compose Me



Compose me
like an unchained melody
in the handbook of your soul

Let your fingers
roam my fountainhead
leave the sorrow behind
with the regret and suffering mind,

let us stop this movement of time.

Let us return to the Garden
ripe with the fruit of Love,

Let us be here now.

_______________

speaking of love


the language of love
is a holy Braille
spoken
with arching backs and
breasts
throbbing with
penetrating
desire

while the surge of wave and ocean
deep and wild
consumes every memory
laden heavy with lust

& our sky implodes.

I feel you are making love with me with your poetry

And I like it. And I am not jealous that others will feel the same way. I have sometimes felt that your mystic ways were a bit over the top, but I am just a beer drinking shaman. You are honest, true, brave and real. cheers, Jess Forever unwrapping the eternal present.

The passion of the soul is to me, a gift that we enjoy at pref moments in our life's, that repeats at different levels of our consciousness. you have capture that flame in your write!!! I always enjoy your subjects that you bring from your soul! thanks, Eddie

Such tender passion,

Such tender passion, exquisitely penned: it pulsates to its own beat and makes the heart throb and the soul burn, though it rise again and, purified, kneels in homage to read and ride again. Peerless poetry, my dear Anna. Mike "not all matterings of mind equal one violet" ~ e e cummings ~

Thanks for reading U2, however, I just noticed that the disclaimer: "Please use care (this is a sensitive subject for me, do not critique harshly)" was somehow activated.

Anna,

what a wonderful read, thank you! Now I'm torn between proprietress' "Chai dreams" and your "Inner flame": they both qualify as favourites. Yours, ~Nina

ahh…. comparisons really

ahh.... comparisons really are such a disservice, I think. I remember when my x said he liked Pavarotti best of the 3 tenors, while I was enjoying the fact that there were 3 such incredible voices, all with their distinctive unique style, sound and beauty... and when they sang together...the clouds opened. We as humans, all have preferences... I like my men lusty, brilliant and soulful, most are poets of the heart, if not of the written word. ~A "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of punishment."
