"combusted" poems
Like a captive, I capture rapture wrapping around stakes that matter Joan of Arc battered Also tattered but, easily dismissive Refracted from fractured prominent phrases people play with Distinctly persuasive and evasive, dressed boyishly attractive, lax stature, dawning armor crafted by absence as if asked about it- I’m drifted Protection is principle prerequisite, when fire is lit I sort of implore your aorta before it’s incinerated to ashes Dethatched as a habit, with swords or hatchets crafted to singe heartstrings that attached it While I slash slick Rick as a quick fix, To fend for pretend pretenses or presumed tricks, I can’t quit Cause I hit lips against hash spliffs fashioned with dashes of passion all while rationing fireball cinnamon sips Martyr to avoidance I gaze at fabled dazed gossipers galvanizing grips on gritty grapevines while licking warning labels through smoke haze on blurred lines Capably unstable Other eyes attending scandal circles able to shout lies and rekindle handed arguments on tables with locked smiles stay boxed in Avidly amiable Searching for counterparts when combusted or branded Toying with matches loses meaning when rules reseed Those vagabonds claim love is some all end hard bent to mend what the same above can’t comprehend. Breaking boredom, I pillage pillows with night terrors And ardent arsonists yearn for flames that churn, turn, liquefy and learn learned thoughts and smoldered feelings Completely complacent Melting in one another they are completing each other like two candles tryst true at a wedding day However later the blaze is severed, smoke sears, and charred black wick stands alone for them. Aggressive and progressive. As for me never pleading, fire forever fleets to streets between iron bars I built that cage in deep heat and seep dire dreams once desired Suppose I’m a skeptic Roasted or disconnected Just jaded, just met you Always over it too soon Burnt but I’m amused. I’m useful.

**You were a predator in disguise And I was a lamb in your eyes You're a threat to everyone Because you can be anyone** **You took interest on me Like a prey ready for free You use words so gentle But deep inside it is brittle** **You do some kind of trick So instant in just a mouse click Letting someone be deceived Their trust, you thieved** **I am sickened and disgusted Of the scene you combusted People like you should not be trusted And I hope you will soon be busted** 5:03, 12-25-14©

SCAM
the LORD & I have been arguing for days over four small words: [thy will be done.] let this be known: never is there a bigger sacrifice than compromising the cloth that has woven your soul, choosing to burn its textile rather than cling to its strong stitchings & worn-in, familiar pattern, leaving you in nothing but incinerated rags. I plea for maintained remains of this combusted fallacy of joy, whilst He responds with simply [I am making all things new.] please hear this: there is truly nothing that can mend you here, nothing that can weave you together & save your heart from being torn as a love letter ripped into shreds of its possibilities, leaving you with nothing but disintegrated dreams. my past is aching to become my present, & my perceived future has begun to rewind. my place in this world has become null&void; without the hope I once held close. for what happens to a princess when her earthly prince continues to commit slow suicide? [peace, My child.] I can hear my bones screaming to be heard, as songs on a broken record, stuck on repeating the same old refrain: *please please please please please… [on earth as it is in Heaven.]* night sweats-- when your mind cannot stop running even whilst you sleep. shaking limbs— when your heart trembles & begs to stay alive. *[plans to prosper you, not harm you; plans for hope & a future.]* I’m strung out on all these things that keep me sane while my mind feels like its going through withdrawals of the Holy Spirit— WHERE ARE YOU, GOD & WHY IS THIS YOUR PLAN? YOU DO NOT LOVE ME AS YOU ONCE DID. [those who hope in the LORD renew their strength.] laying on my bedroom floor with hymns pouring from my mouth like tongues of fire & bile I feel farther from glory than I ever have. [He restores my soul.] LORD as Christ once begged of you Take This Cup, LORD I plea for deliverance for reconciliation for an exodus from this body that is full of intoxication & self-loathing. [until the very end of the age.] LET MY SPIRIT RISE FROM THE ASHES & BE HEALED OF THIS HORROR.

Stomach punch
Main and master goal I stand in gaze In a gaze that admires you I stand in amaze And wonder And wonder why all these thoughts ponder Why these thoughts take priority above all other These thoughts of you That has lit a liquid-oxygen combusted fire And now I stand trapped Trapped in this legitimate feeling of attraction My concentration depleted My heart weeps Weeps for the dungeon I've fallen in My heart weeps It weeps like a waterfall Tears that keep running down the face of my heart Your voice that resonates in my soul Like a viral infection that has pierced my heart Your beauty has undressed these naked eyes Now The only thought I have is you My heart has changed its pattern into... Into a pattern that spells your Name I close my eyes and echoed images live in the darkness of these shut eyes Your voice has broken the silence in me For I have savored it You relentlessly entered my heart Engraved your name on it Slowly I'm tearing in the inside I'm going insane Pain, no! Affectionate attraction, Yes! A weeping heart I have A weeping heart that is manifesting it all As in my manifestation I ought to be the leader of the nation inside me The creator of my inner creation Forgotten about the future I live in the past of your creation For all that entirely matters in the near future is: My main and master mission In vision with my main and master goal Past the sleepless nights' tension Past the deception of animations artificiality and into all reality Past my minds permission; it's approval Exceeding my potential but placing me in that position Disregarding all competition I stand and watch in 3rd person perspective My heart has risen like dust Even though it's dark my shadow has betrayed me; your smile shines through like lights rays The visible weeping heart is translucent My thoughts have become wishes Wishes exceeding my boundaries of limits Because my mission and master goal is for you to be mine...                                        By: Magnus Master Robinson

I reminisce quite often of your touch and the unabashed ****** experimentation's we've shared. I know my worth, so don't you go forgetting, I had you with your mouth agape, your toe's curling as you cried out my name... call my conceit one of a kind, because I know the way you stare, the way your  eyes lustfully & licentiously devourer me, the way you crave me and how you cling to the memories of us, in bed. Your priapic lust for me is equally accepted & measure, almost to a point where I could have bodily-combusted since you always seem unable to stop, but you must know, I have a very arcane little list and lucky for you I've let you in... hahaha lucky indeed & better for me. My concupiscence  language and metaphors simplify & convey my lustful intent. In simpler terms just know I want to repeat are coupling, I'd like you to to bend me over and stretch me to my fullest. open me widely and dance with in my silken  Venus’ cradle, entangle me into a dreamlike haze, in which my  fantasy and reality are indistinguishable. I know you've  harboured about me & the many ways, all the very excitingly different ways you could defile and desecrate my ripe tight little body, I see more clarity and certainty of what might happen,    if ever I'd allow you to spend the night with me again, I still remember our passionate nights together,    oh so very well,   I can see it, I taste us and worst yet, I can feel your animalistic and sometimes brutal ****** assault on me, I still feel you deep within my seductive tight little love box. Your a cannibalistic-cunnalinguist master, causing havoc within me, as you attack hungrily between my thighs, sending me spinning, sending me on a  intoxicating high. Our last encounter,   left me unable to breathe, barely able to walk and yet I have no regrets, well maybe just one, and that is; all good things must come to an end! (until I heal.)

Our explosive behaviors where the water you which you were mixed with the cesium i am , or you claimed me to be the atmosphere which we claimed to breathe from was hydrogen sulfide and yet that angiosperm which we claimed was poisoned with love never spouted. however both of us being from the biosphere you acted like something that fell off of saturn full of air and water you say my attitude was the reactant from which your heart thawed and combusted though i believed other wise because your brain was made from only 1 cell and your heart was made of arsenic which flowed through my veins the night your lips infected mine. Our relationship was not a commensaism and you did not harm me while i harmed you your foolish frequencies flopped me right to the bottom of your food chain where fugus flourished and fooled me right into falling for you our love was the hypothesis proven correct of Romeo and Juliet killing both of us in the end you were an invertebrate that sent lighting through my limiting factor dressing me with barium but too much pressure on my heart caused a reaction that Einstein himself couldn't solve

Scientific Love
lead only, read only, craft yourself a better poet, after you have crafted yourself a better being leaders are dragged to the fore selected and elected, pushed and pulled be wary of those who shout and boast Follow Me, for they think not of you, they think only of the me in us, their glory in your gore do not follow me, I shall not follow you. let us each lead by example and upon the shoulders of our fellows will we be lifted spontaneously combined, but not combusted then, especially then, go quietly inside yourself amidst the haste for fellowship endures, but fame fleeting, and the adorers will soon flee to the next prince of promises, and when to the ground you slide, slipped from their tilting shoulders, be unsurprised

Follow no one, not me
tonight I faced my biggest fear of a dog charging at me and not letting it get hit by a car. Unlike how you grabbed my ankles and threw me head first into a semi-truck and watching as I combusted into dust and gray feathers on our 5th anniversary. Maybe you were hoping to see a plethora of colors. Just because I tended to inhale paint  and spew it onto a canvas means nothing.  Y'know, it's awfully rude to build a house on someone's spinal cord after only biting their lip. The blood didn't fill my mouth, so I guess it didn't mean anything. So until it does, I'll wait until summer thaws the hearts of dead bodies in every concrete cemetery  so I can hear the earths core sing my favorite song, you hitting your coffee cup on our ceiling like You've Had Enough. You used to play it with your pulse so loud the walls would shake and start to erode at each crevice your song made. That poor house never stood a chance  with the way our internal screams messed with the plumbing. But that's why you're hammering nails into my vertabrae,  and that's why you keep my coat  on the tip of your tongue. So I'll have a place to call home and you'll always remember what my  lips tasted like. Vanilla and saltwater. The taste of past lovers and sweet futures you always said. But now your house is gone burnt down by the fire that is my soul after you three gasoline into my intestines to get rid of the old letters my mind sent through my veins. never say you loved the hot waters of my skin. you changed the temperature every time you got the chance. which begs the question how does one turn the dial on a heart encaged like a bird?

It seems to have spontaneously combusted, but it didn’t. The disease struck long ago, brewed in the petri dish of Depression, WWII, and convergent technologies. Well before that, really, but that was the point of critical mass. By the 1950's, it was an epidemic. The independent Republic of individuals, small towns, coherent communities, distinct cities, local diners, shops and stores tied together with two lane blacktop was crumbling. Things only got worse faster. It was a disease of toxic, lulling dreams. American Dreams. And standardization was its crushing foot that flattened everything and left a homogenized wasteland in its trail. The old gods vanished and the new became despots. Go anywhere in America, Boston or Biloxi. You can’t tell where you are. Most shop at the same stores (real or virtual), eat at the same chain restaurants, wear the same clothes, gulp from the same Internet, swallow similar information, and think (within acceptable variations) the same thoughts. Even sin has become tediously consubstantial. Knowledge has been supplanted by content. Words are squeezed of meaning. Everyone is an expert and no one knows anything. Except Siri and Alexa. The Dreamtime of consumerism, consumption and conformity dominates. All that remains to come is the dominion of AI. Then we will all be watched over by machines of loving grace, free to graze in bovine bliss in the cybernetic meadows of bland utopia.

American Dreamtime: A Scrambled Memoir Of Poetic Future History
You wouldn't know what I was doing after you stopped texting me that morning of your surgery. As soon as you said goodbye I threw my phone to the wall and sobbed into my pillow. I had to stop myself from screaming out your name, so I just mustered up stifling sobs and muffled "I love you's" and "please don't leave me baby". I could feel stabbing pains make its way up my body as they put the rods and screws inside of your spine. Eleven times my heart combusted throughout the day and the thought of you without me almost killed me. I wonder what you thought of under the anesthesia. Was it me? Your friends? The Beatles or Led Zeppelin? Or maybe it was nothing. I know that all I could think about was the worst things possible and how I wished I could have just kept you safe in my arms because thats the safest place you could've been in that day and time *(or any day and time for that matter)*. But, now that your spine is un-curved and you are okay, I thought something was going to change between us. I was afraid that maybe the thing that caused you to fall in love with me was taken out somehow and rearranged so that your spine didn't curve towards me anymore. I was afraid that you wouldn't have loved me anymore. But, now I see that I was foolish for being so afraid. You are better than ever and you are still mine! And I just love you so much, you know that, dear? I'm just glad you're safe and feeling well, baby.

Rods and Screws
The decedent weighed 500 pounds. Her shape was decidedly round. When cremation was requested, Her fat cells combusted and burned the old funeral home down. The director ought to have been wary Of a corpse it takes ten men to carry. He sought long, in vain, a home for her cremains. “A barrel, perhaps?” offered Larry. Her overweight fatty remains exploded when touched by the flame. Some speculate gas Leaking out of her *** was possibly partly to blame. . So if you’re a “plus” girl or guy And in the course of events you should die. Choose the dirt nap, not flame For your mortal remains It appears Butterballs shouldn’t fry.

It is of my opinion that you have desisted in truthiness. And as such, you will hence forth be known as a 'Teller of Untruths.' As a result, I do believe your trousers have combusted. You are a blaggard and a rapscallion. Good day...

Fibber Face
In silence and heartache, The air has turned dire. Our smiles were combusted By miseries fire. Its smoke has enclosed us Within our own sphere, Though soon you'll be leaving. Leaving me here. For long I'd accustomed To being alone. No need for direction. No need for a home. But one day you found me, Your hands full of love, And lips full of comfort Which smiled just above. Now loneliness taunts me Whenever you go. You take with you more than You ever could know. My happiness follows, Forever it's yours. In silence and heartache, In rises and falls.

In Silence and Heartache
*I wrote a perfect poem once. I scribbled it down on the back of a half used napkin. It wasn't short and is wasn't long. The lipstick laced food marks couldn't taint what was already perfect. There was no love and no sadness in the words. It embodied only emptiness - it's most pure form. Nothing left wanting, no thirst unquenched. In a moment of clear sight, I knew only the right words were forming. In that moment the half empty bar around me sunk, drowned, imploded and combusted - for all I cared. I had just written a masterpiece.*

Recovery
His thoughts, his talks Have combusted every corner Of my cracking heart , Into ashes and dust, Which fly no more, Into cravings and lust, Which I never adore. I am trapped in this thought cloud Flying beyond the horizons of fantasy, Reaching non-existent places, Impossible in my destiny. I float around on this surface, Swimming like a cinder-block On this black tar of love, Burnt from within, And ready to burn further, To win it all, And to get that shine of a diamond, It's tough.

Cinder-block
Far-seeing the apple of your eye Reaching for The globe, glorious and tender in your sphirex hands, Newly crafted, formed. Painted by the millimeter from the pacific to the Indian. North to south-- then the equator Smack bang, In the middle. You'd shoulder the weight of the sphere and you'd smoldered the downfall of the creation As the maple combusted and we took a bite: Sweet, deep crimson. Scorned yet dazed; a lamb ready for the slaughter Our sympathies could only reach an external level As our animalistic inner, drove us to all fours And the taste of sin, bittersweet. And then the caw of the crow, And the growl of the beast Echoing across the mountains, Valleys, The curves deep, The aperture wide spread as The sun set behind our crystal eyes Unveiling the sublime. (For a moment) Then, Darkness.

Apocalypse
She was a spectacular tree. People called her the flame of the forest, for she was obviously striking, vivid and classy. I need not narrate the superlative majesty of the flame – tree, for one time or the other we have all been breath-taken by her peerless glamor. What matchless artistry! I am here to quickly share my ruminative gloom for that lovely assembly of flower, leaf and wood, which grandly stood in a grove of possibilities, and possibilities can be such a torment, such a calamity. ❋ For years galore, caterpillars of choices had been steadily eating away at her core. They came from different directions, at different trajectories, with varied objectives and fluctuating proclivities. Sometimes, they came rushing in as family, and sometimes they came slowly, a little formally, a bit watchfully, somewhat officially. At times they came in fiery fascination and yet, ever so often, they were charged with marauding indignation. Many times they arrived as blazing ambition, but more often than not, combusted the flamboyance leaving behind an ashen illusion. Oh.....those craving larvae of oblique, wily opportunities. ❋ The foliage was feverishly guzzled till photosynthesis was no more possible. From my distant window from where I had once watched her variegated flair, I felt the Poinciana moan in simmering despair. ❋ With biting sensitivity, I still look on, a tad tearfully, as she continues to tumble into conscious torpidity. My words may slip and sway, as with each wilting leaf after each withering floret, she progresses towards an abject decay; imploding methodically, and transposing gradually from being the flame of the forest to being a sprouting forest of flames.

*Not so many moons ago, You and I in a star-ship Flitting amongst stars, gallivanting Whilst remeniscing of moments Indelible moments trapped in time Only flying-by, eloping to Elysium Fancying fair lands Lands pervaded with flowers Flowers blooming in perpetuity Lands with rushing rivers Rivers serpentining with nector Lands with novelty sea shores Shores veiled with diamonds Lands enveloped by lustrous stars Stars painting words of desire Lands with halcyon seas Seas as smooth as a millpond Lands where the only air There is to inhale is love Lands where love is woven by A tapestry of truth not lies Lands where love isn't bought by Sapphires, Rubies nor Emeralds Lands where all avenues Are paved with green and gold Lands where mountains Are golden-capped Distant was the journey Though at length, For what seemed a life time, Our eyes feasted on And from a distance, There we gazed about her In all her splendor Ravishingly alluring yet resplendent With all chatoyance One could ever imagine of Like any one else would, At a speed of an eagle Descending about her prey, Fervently we gravitated Only to touch down Than when the luster about her Had our vessel*  combusted to ash! © Kikodinho Alexandros 4th Jun 2016

COMBUSTED TO ASH (EPIC)
oceans drift in her eyes, twinkling stars swimming in the waves and freckled constellations on her face. she holds the moon in her hands and i am the wolf, howling harshly. she tells me she adores me, lips soft   and i repeat her adorations, entrapped. vines are wrapped around my heart, tightening and holding me close. she says, 'i love you' and sets me on fire, flames consuming me and my veins; combusted, busted and broken my heart beats only for her, ardour.

Iniquities sequester
Walls I'd Carefully erected Deconstructed in A few moments of Brutal honesty and Embraced doubt You'll run You'll reject Never forgive Heaven forbid you forget Those doubts, crushed When the pressure couldn't Be handled and I combusted Wall deconstructed Those bricks held in place by Mortar mixed with my lies Set carefully by insecurity, Crumbling in the explosion Telling me To just be But now, not Too long later, I'm scrambling To pick up the pieces Gathering bricks and ashes Remixing my mortar of lies Trying to reconstruct My walls I know That it isn't good, but It sure as hell feels easier Stack brick, on brick Hide away, All hide and no seek I know it's no good But it sure feels easier I know Out of ashes can Come a beautiful new creation Redeemed and restored Because Lighting and sand make Glass in a storm Combine enough Pressure and heat and You get a diamond I know beauty comes From ashes and I'm a rough cut diamond crafted By Greater Hands But I still want to Scrape up the ashes Mix my mortar, Build my wall Because it may not be good, But it sure as hell feels easier Help me believe Your diamonds are Better than My bricks Don't let me reconstruct My walls of Insecurity and Self-sufficiency Deconstructing all You've built in me I have To love You more

Experiment in human perception: Change your name to something different And suddenly it is perceived That your writing itself has changed; Become darker, depressive; even suicidal. The same words, emotions as before, Now clothed in a gothic, demonic flavor, By the simple association with a different name; Nothing more or less than a collection of letters- The 'd's not from dendrites, The 's's not from synapses. Were the Salem witch hunts inclusive in our very DNA? Because no one can ever see inside a man's heart, Only his clothing and name are visible; And both can be combusted, at the whim of society, Of whom no one person can know it's motives. How can it be trusted, telling nobody it's name or mission? Yet my name is out there for the whole world to see. The different will always be searched out, persecuted, Whether in school, or the world at large, Whether in 1940's Germany or 21st Century America. That's how it starts.
