Burning Hearts and Wilted Flowers
You're the flame around my heart,
am I still your smile
when we're apart?
As you leave your flame flares up,
but when I look into your face,
I miss your lack of smiling place,
You are my fire!
Where were you before my first flame?
What were you before in me?
After your last flame
returns from where it came
what remains but sacred memory?
Although our flames elapse and change,
inhaling light's upflaring waves,
are you this same fire
from first consuming claims
through our last expiring rest?
Other than your warm body
warming Earth's co-gravitation,
mothering this same fire
I watched expire last night
Outside your measured fire storms
earthquaking loveless landslides,
untreasured life's reflective time.
Does your flaming heart
hide compassioned souls
in some primal blame
from this same hearth?
Yet more compelled
by burning differences
through indifferent times
and sad shame places.
My heartflow heated spaces
privileged nature's species
emerging fertile fires
with despairing ends
Enraptured burning Trees of Life
charred roots of ashen death,
inducing fallen memories
of good flame health
interred by flaring time's hot-red boundary,
pathology of here-now loss,
last expiring breath.
Is this how flaming love
seeks sacred Sun's
same searing soul?
And mundane nature's
more warmly kind
absence of burnt-out love
in green peaceful pastures?
My flaming blame
arises up
and represses down
to in and out revolve again
another night of shared light memory
Another season,
another moment,
another flaring space
time glaring toward
reconnecting well-fired heat
of star-fired compassions
Yang emergent flaming hearts,
as Yintegrity refires
all-consuming brilliant flow
Slow-burn nurturing air to blow,
boiling overheated water
baptizing bleated breaths
inhaling exhaled light
greets Earth-rooted powers.
Wavey flames
with abundant fuel
burning co-arising hearts
Primal co-relationships
zero-soaring soulful strong
refilling empty intent
to raises Yang's full-power flame
with Yintegrity's fertile flow
Balancing burning
yearning hearts
against wilting memory's flowers,
regenerating midway
light empowering fires.
Why do Earth's nature flames
inhale and exhale
slow flow fueling spirit frames?
Sensual breaths,
co-empathic licking smiles
toward WinWin
productive all-consuming resonance
Co-arising flames ebb
and co-gravitate slow burn flow
of warm wealth hearted practice
Why do healthy co-infested flames
love to smell
and taste
and feel
and grow together?
Fired up beyond my broken heart,
without your shaming smile
As night engulfs
cold blaming acrid ashes
falling senselessly apart.
