Premium Member Jazz Vinyl's Pyre
(Snaps fingers) Let's talk sonic alchemy, a cauldron bubblin' deep/ Rare groove rising, a phoenix from jazz vinyl's pyre/ Acid Jazz is born, setting the soul on fire/ in London's smoky clubs, back when the eighties roared/ A rare groove movement pulsed, a sound from nowhere that knows no bounds/ More like a fusion,...

The Morning After
The lightning danced all through the night To wrought a festival of fire That put to torch in blackened blight, And scorched the forest like a pyre Now, petroglyphs of nature’s arts In splotchy ash ‘cross craggy scarp, Are scarred background to blackened ghosts Now frozen in escapement’s warp. The energy of blackened woods And flora from the forest floor Has left behind the fertile...

Last Cry
One day, On a blissful Wednesday, I crawl up the moon to cry away. Dark night, Take me away with the light, Keep sailing through the storm with all my might. Silence the dweller, While roses for the pyre wither, And all my hopes shatter....

Rose Red Pyre Black Petals
Visceral incantation from onyx velvet lips, moan, groan, to twist my bits as a witch. Salem pyre ancient oak standing the edifice, wrist shackled chains gather round vile cultist. Breast bang dolorous dirge ignition of limbs, Rictus permeated rancor give me thy mirth bled, “Maw of Cerberus thrice Styx a curse gangrene. Corcyan Cave sylphlike sacrificial chimera beast!” “Ahhhhh!” ...

You've meant so deeply much; within my desire If I could present a world or build an empire It would be so easy to secretly conspire In a way that you would not find hard to admire Happiness for me; sought just nurturing your purist fire You see my genuine intentions; carrying us higher We are beyond me; so far past...

My World On the Pyre Cold
There she was, silenced; in the hush of the night, By nature's decree and the will of the almighty divine's right. Upon the pyre, her form ablaze, a somber sight, While I sought to console my sisters in the fading twilight. My wife wept, her sorrow embers tinged with uncertainty's shade, My children held their grief in solitude, their hearts...

Her Pyre
She laid her emotions on a pyre. Took a torch and lit a flame. A gust of wind kidnapped them, Taking them into the sky. Watching as her desires flew away. A smile hinted in her eyes....

Premium Member The Dawdler Pyre
Intentions fall akin to ashes on the pyre. Of our procrastination quixotic fire We've got a penchant for delay and distraction. A puerile fear of routine and reaction. But in our deepest hearts, we glow. Time is a precious commodity to sow. But we still apply it to just toss it away. Thinking that tomorrow will start a fresh day We piddle with...

The Pyre of Love
Dark night, gloomy clouds Fears of life-controlling the glow of my face, loud and proud, I pinch my eyes with each drop of rain, Touching my face, like pearls falling on the floor, Tender and hard, strong and yet vulnerable. Mixing with my tears, as fresh as dewdrops, longing to be merged with nothingness, embracing the quality of emptiness. Dear friend,...

Premium Member Gleemont Watches His Love At Pyre
Spark from Montezuma’s fire Brought Gleemont closer to his desire He watched his almost bride drink the potion And fall down into the fire with sheer devotion Why was she the one to be sacrificed? He was angry at the gods, his love now sliced. Gleemont crept closer to the pit with his club He could hear the cheers of another warrior,...

Pyre
' Such sinful acts would awake the inviting darkness into the fervent misdeeds of carnal lust, that burn in the heat of an ever raging pyre; where the scorching heat is a consuming hell of pleasure to those who crave in the tinder of its wanting rebellion. '. Alfredo Gonzales...
