#scorching
I am fragile
But not in the way
A flower is fragile
In the way
A bomb is fragile
With a flower
You have to be careful
As to not break it
With a bomb
You have to be careful
As to not have it blow up
Because one day
I will explode
And I will hurt everyone near
Because I am fragile

A bad day away
From the end of things,
Cause not a person stays.
And everything remains the same,
Despite all the change.
An hour to twelve,
When the clock strikes.
I burn one down.
And the match reminds me of hell;
Of dark depths, lit by scorching light.
Most deepest of desires, and precious hopes
We are fond of holding you close,
Fearful we will share our thoughts
And be lost to ourselves
To understand, what we know we never can

I used to conjure flames from my fingertips without a thought
And used them to scorch foreign poetry into your skin

A poppy candle -
Its wick has been expecting
The scorching outcome.

saying i love you
to get you to stay
was like burning my
tongue on a sip of black coffee
-its scorching me

Getting soaked to the bone
Until some kind people stopped
And offered me an umbrella
A hot shower
A warm meal
A cozy fire
And a new home
Don't come knocking on my door
When you've seen I've found better
Because the rain has stopped
And all I have left to give
Is a scorching heat to burn you with

Bidding farewell to the warmth,
The bells of a spring path ring, to the sound of the wind,
Which has once again, crossed the stream of time, as it usually does,
The transience of the day, already lost due time, the sun remains as a traveler, whom appears to have crossed the Zenith again,
It's scorching heat is to be felt, exposed to it almost as if it was to be to set the skin ablaze, truly these sunrays, are unforgiving at this time,
Sorrow and misery, are to burn into ash by this heat, a purifying flame of affectionate happiness, embracing those who have found themselves to be in love with the natural, decending, light,
Beyond the boundaries, the mystery of our living power remains unknown, all what is left is a spark in the dark, beyond the sunshine,
The evening welcoming this world is soon to be radiating in joyful light, wandering aimlessly the time for the sunset draws near,
Beyond the Zenith, lies the transience of the passing time.

The desert,
A sea of sand, drought and dry air under a scorching, blazing Sun,
The wind may feel alike a cut, which burns through your senses,
Relentless, the heat takes over by day, yet by night it is cold enough to freeze you if you come unprepared. Such would be a foolish idea,
A dessert of thoughts, driving into my brain, leaving ideas uncovered
Leaving productivity hidden, under the sand of hatred and self doubt
Such places, landscapes, covered by firy silicate or ice are truly lethal,
Such state of mind, covered by uncertainty is truly lethal, for ones wonderful creativity, for art of all kind, conveyed or material, if you might wander through such a land without any guide to help out,
Worry not, for after every drought comes rain, blissful rain to fertilise the soil of thoughts which will blossom in wonderous ways, to shine,
After all, motion without movement cannot be possible so try to move
A wise friend once tought me, that if you give it enough time, even a nigh impossibility becomes a certainty, even a desert could be a forest
But until then, be patient my dear, even the most deserted place, carries some beauty in it, no ?

A stern queen of fire and land
Braced the shore with outstanding elegance
Met a prince of earthly integrity and principle
As the waves of the pristine sea crashed onto the sands of romance
A scorching sensation
A beautiful involvement
of the two young beams
Colliding into one scorching love.

The Heat, and not the sports team
Has come here for a while
It's enough to set some records
And to **** the farmers smiles
Humidity and high temperatures
Add to make our life like hell
It's drying up our creeks and streams
There's no water in our wells
We do not use our ovens
To cook our meals, not now at least
We just leave meat on the counter
The outside heat will cook the beast
Our lawns are brown and dormant
But the weeds are growing strong
There is chickweed and crabgrass where once
Green grass did once belong
The splash pads are on overtime
To help keep people cool
We've cooling centers everywhere
They're in all of the schools
In order to cool down at home
I have my a/c set to freeze
And if at times this doesn't work
I watch Christmas DVD's
Remember hats and sunscreen
to keep the heat off of your head
In fact it is so god ****** hot
I tan while I'm in bed
I remember as a child
Summer never got as hot as this
Compared to recent temperatures
Is like a blow job to a kiss
We pray for heat in winter
And in the summer, the reverse
I know I would like the snow
The heat is much, much, worse
Instead of just complaining
I should just take it, brave the heat
But for now, I'll watch my movies
Sing my carols, cool my feet
I know that come this winter
I'll be crying for the heat
Just remind me of this little poem
And I'll shut up, and take my seat.

You're like winter to me now,
bitter and frozen.
Wrapped up in layers of unfamiliar
fabrics and smells.
Distant summer scorching.
There are still grains of sand in your shoes
but the first frost has
long passed.
