#flaming
Endless stringing fumes, pitter patter of a fruitless place. Fed by the doubts, in fear from shouts. Discovering all your pretty hue's, does this heart share the same face
Treat my flaming heart that burns and churns for more passion, cut it to pieces and make it whole, because it's all
getting too dull
Devour me
Discover me
Swallow it all
Show me it all
Sing a song to my heart
Sing a song to my soul
Dance with my flame
Dance with my name
Just don't let my fire falter
Keep it growing
Keep my flaming heart for me, I don't need it back just yet dear

I saw you in the underworld when the earth collapsed
The incendiary skies burned bright;
Burning
And I saw you beneath its scorching glare
Standing by the banks of the river Styx
Your supple skin marred and stained
By soot and mud from below your feet
And burnmarks;
I know not where you got them
I called your name
Shouted it
Screamed it
But you did not hear me
You did not listen
Simply stared off into the distance
Body glowing, body burning
World glowing, world burning
Burning
Flaming
Ablaze.

a dazzling burst of flaming colours
dance orange and yellow
through my soul’s innate yearnings
diffusing in me a magic
so alluring that
i long to eternally abide
in its magnificent womb!

Bruised and battered egos:
Retaliations –
Flaming tornadoes spiral up to stormy skies.
Mixed metaphors of caviar and custard
Maelstrom mightily around the mountains of Hell.
Trolling is appalling
And flaming burns.
Let go of that ego
Is my advice.
Be humble from the start.
No-one is great enough
To be beyond reproach
Or criticism.
Who cares how good or otherwise I am?
Who cares what anyone says
About my work?
I am what I am,
End of story.
To Describe what I am is fine:
See those metres, verses, rhymes
And metaphors.
Dismantle me if you wish,
But (please) put me back together.
No-one should stand in judgement,
Except maybe God,
With His bright wide wings.
So stop the abuse,
And sourceless insults.
Cease the condemnation,
Or stand to be IGNORED.

The trick with flaming hot Cheetos
Is to eat all that you want
Before you drink any water.
If you eat some, and then drink,
And then eat some more,
Your stomach will be an ocean
With breakers crashing to and fro
On the banks of your inner shores.
It will not feel nice, so make sure
To follow this advice; for I am, when
It comes to Cheetos, an old man who
Has for learned from my many years
Of eating one way, and eating the other.
And I have found the better of the two,
So heed my authority.

I watched you
as you walked down
that cool, grey
sidewalk
flaming lips
clung to your
cool, dark
skin
chewing your pencil
between your
slightly hereditary yellow
teeth
And that one
chipped tooth
that i gave you
when we were seven
I watched myself
put my cigarette down
because suddenly
I wanted to have lungs
I wanted to have lungs
so i could breathe
your sweet and pure
air
At that moment
you became the succulent poison apple
the 1000 calorie ice cream cone
the guilty pleasure
my saccharine escape
from this cancerous world
