I love alluring nature,
as on the slopes of the blue hills
creep the last sunrays hued,
the tapestry of tinged clouds
makes the lattice of twilight.
Starfall where visions bloom into bliss.
I lift my gaze into the stratosphere,
Seeking knowledge to bless
The mind, the spirit, the soul.
By the light of day,
Through the darkness of night,
I strive to see more clearly,
Asleep within my dreams,
Yet awake with the passing hours,
Clutching the words
That rise straight from the heart.
Thy radiance of countenance over me
Inspirits my love poignancy.
May be sometimes motionless the sea tides;
My love on you never rests.
When thought I illusion, a damsel’s love,
Discarded ye my ignorance to vision.
Smile in thy mellow lips
Miles my heart to starry skies.
If thy words could console me,
Like I, to be whipped by tyrant—thy father
Turned I a renowned encomiast,
For ye kindled my fancies.
An arrow could hardly engore my heart,
But killed so by thy raunchy eyes!
Come let's dance
Right in the dark
Making love
Exploring
The beauty of the dark.
Come see
How beautiful
The moon
Bright is the Sun
You're more
Alluring and captivating
Lady you're amazing
You mesmerize me
Let's disturb
The neighbors
With good love making
Just like the eclipse
The Sun and Moon.
Bright and glowing, attired in gold
Birds sing to me, while bees kiss me,
The butterflies love mien, golden
Chipmunks relish my seeds with glee;
I serenade you in your rainbow garden
Patiently nurturing overbearing bees
Sucking on my nectar even as the bold
Butterflies compete with a certain cool ease;
Bringing glorious sunshine into your tedious life
And soaking in all the irresistible Sun power
Making you smile like a proud florist you've never been
In your garden of love, I’m your alluring Sunflower
Strong women would like someone there,
just not to rescue them;
All of those alluring silver screen dreams;
No they don’t need him but they’d like to
give love a second chance;
Rehab for hopeless romantics;
Yeah we’ve seen it all in the movies;
All of those alluring silver screen dreams;
Blurred vowels kissed into deep scowls,
all of this rotten love for sale;
The words resemble dribble and leftovers
accompanied by a timeless type theme;
All of those alluring silver screen dreams;
Modern reality is so tasteless and bland
we’re left coveting wild salt water passion;
When you have happily ever after eyes
nothing can ever quite measure up;
Strong women would like someone there
to pull them back and rescue them,
from every alluring silver screen dream.
AUTUMN ALLURING
Luminous lustrous.
Amiable ambience.
Environ enchants.
Auburn Autumn ! Amber glow.
Fresh fragrance flows in flora.
And I will always be
true to you
it's easy for me too do
simply cause I love you
Just because I love you
All things beautiful
you make smile
I wanna cuddle with
you for a while
we can stand around
just holding hands
when the music starts
we can dance
We got pot roast and
Cauliflowers
dinners done in an hour
guess it's time to
finish the chores
dust the lamp
wipe the floor
this right here
we can't ignore
this naggs me to the core
come and eat
it's supper time
Dark trees, ferns, sweet with seasons showers pace.
Winking sunlight through pines greenness embrace.
Dew pearls embroidered flowers autumn's grace,
Becoming earths choral flute twirl and lace.
Onlookers, sunny laughter fairies face,
Glean upon the blooms rich entrancing place.
Silliness of Fauns magic dance through space.
Forest snide imps while day lasts, quick retrace.
Nesting birds departing and upward chase.

Snug in the corner I saw the lad lie,
Fire in his belly, a cork in his eye;
And wordlessly sleeping, a-snooze in his bed,
His words, when awakened, go straight to your head.
Alluring to look at, golden is he,
There when you need him as sure as can be;
And anxious to aid you, he doesn't think twice,
The cost of his concert, your soul is the price.
Then, tell him to go now, bid him goodbye;
Leave him to slumber, let sleeping dogs lie!
Tell him his concord you are shooing away,
The lad with the nostrum may no longer stay.
Well! time he was leaving so, show him the door!
A flagon of whiskey a-smash on the floor.
The buds unfurl at the touch of dawn,
like the day in the spring sky dreamy,
as the southern zephyr ripples in my lawn,
I see the dulcet dance of daisy.
The flowers bloom in serene silence,
look up ardently at the arc of the sun,
soaking its illumined purity as the essence,
into heavenly beauty on earth they turn.
The night melts in the horizon draped in sunburst hue
and the morning mist slowly clears,
in my jade meadow I descry a surreal view,
as the sky of emeralds descends with sparkling stars.
The divine glow pulsates with floral cadence,
suffuses the weary mind with engrossing grace,
enshrined in the patina of pristine innocence,
like the placid radiance of your face.
Yearning for your elusive embrace,
with the flowers of my garden I’ll make a posy,
in your alluring vase of longing I’ll place
my heart hidden in daisy.

her lilac scented perfume attracted unwanted guests
I couldn't decide which was more beauteous, the web of lies you told her or her broken heart that was in thousand shattered pieces? Was it so much fun that you kept doing it and she kept taking all of it because you made her believe she deserved every bit of it. There was no remorse in your actions, you were one proud person to have broken a beautiful being from her very core. Now she'll never get back to that optimistic being who saw hope in every downfall, all she is left of is a heartbroken, soul crushed, dead from inside being, she's not her anymore!
Under the seamless sky of satin sheen
as the reflection of the mesmeric moon holds you
I float on the waves of the stardust surge
your pristine patina I try fondly to touch.
That’s how my dormant desire is enticed
by your shimmering radiance in the moonshine
as my eyes are covered by the tapestry of dream
weaved with the threads of your hued longing.
You bejewel like the crown of the pearly dew
the beguiled blades of grass of the flushing meadow
I call my yearning that rolls out to where you are
on the new turquoise trail traced out only for me.
The true essence of love I then perceive
in the aria of your tinsel gleaming within me
the enchanting luster of your alluring shine
I absorb in my heart’s horizon to glow forever.
