Metrophobia

Is liking someone so uncommon
or wanting someone, a new phenomenon?

Are you an April - wreaking the milieu to discourage me?
Is that why you disparage him to such a degree?

He’s heartful and sincerious,
he’s slammin’ hot but oblivious.
He’s music, lust and fun,
all rolled into one.

So, I’m calling you off,
stop blowing up my phone.
You might as well not bother,
We’ve got dibs on each other.

What’s really good?
He’s really good.
.
slang:
April = a manipulator of well thought out tricks and evil plans
wreaking =causing harm
milieu = the environment
heartful = honest and sincere
sincerious = sincere and serious
slammin’ = very, very f*ckable
dibs = a claim

Unlikely -- But You Never Know -- Coming Attractions

I have yet to write a poem about a toothbrush
   or toothpaste or cremation or zinc

One thing I am sure of, however, and that is
   if I do, I shall have merely wasted a little more ink

Advertise to sell
Every best side of it
Sometimes misleading attractions 
And truths concealed 
Varieties offered
Taste selective
And the choice is yours

The Flowers

Flowers
The wonders of nature 
The garland for the earth
The attractions for the eyes 
Come in various glories
The sun-abiding  sunflower
The paper-like fragile bouganvillea
The bell-like greeting morning glory
The desire-burning flame of the forest
The wishes - carrying petals of chrysanthemum
The strong penetrating perfume of beautiful roses
All showing the beauty and youth
Of the nature
And the blessings of God

Stupid Cupid

Dear Cupid, God of
desire & erotic love, next 
time, please hit us both.

Strong Attractions

A crush is someone
you're strongly attracted to
- they just don't know it.

He doesn't know you: check.
you like him: check, he does nothing: 
Check, you fall for him.

I lie in bed and
envision scenarios where
my crush grins at me.

It's so weird that
we can almost stalk someone
and they have no idea.

I'm trying to get hair
out of my mouth and I find
my crush is watching.

Attractions

Attractions

We are attracted to stuff
Because of their stealth 
To make us happy..alas
A happiness short-lived..
One day after many tours 
Many failed promises
We stand still and a Vastness
Of happiness drops upon us
From nowhere at all..and
We know it has ever been so..
We recognize that all of those
Early ventures were also this
Vastness gently coaxing...

Natural Attractions

Sunlight sooths my heart
Warming my sweetest joy
Telling me to never depart
From the hope I deploy

Raindrops touch my soul
Filling me with a true glow
That no one could have stole
It is a fancy that I will always know

Moon and stars twinkle above
Ministering to my heart’s dreams
Showing me that there is love
Forever living inside my genes

Azure skies with clouds drifting
Whisper of serenity in great hymns
Showing the world that it’s gifted
With visions carried on angel’s wings

Hazy mist rises across the mountains
Past the peaks and gentle ridges
Displaying the beautiful surroundings
That only heaven shares such riches

Vivid arrays of fresh, blooming flowers
Call out to me from among the greenery
Beauty that welcomes afternoon showers
With all of the impulses of such scenery

God’s endless gifts speak of true attraction
Discovered in the natural world of this earth
Causing such devotion and inspirational reaction
That only our spirit can truly know its worth

Coming Attractions

The theater gives you just a taste
Of what’s to be expected,
So if you don’t have time to waste
Some films may be rejected.

My husband hates them but not me
For I enjoy the peek
At movies I may never see;
I form a quick critique.

Some dialogue, the place it’s set
Is quite enough to know
If I will like it and I’ll bet
Reviews won’t make me go.

So keep ‘em coming; I’m prepared
To sit through five or six
And when they’re done, from those that aired,
I’ll know my next few flicks.

Attractions Attract

I see you standing there so close to me
A hunger to reach out and feel you there
The desire to touch and set us both free.

Your voice like music flows around me
Taking us to another time, another world
Like two ships in sync across the sea.

Not worried about the link between us
Something so strong, naturally bound
Everything in this world is fine, no fuss.

Attractions attract on some deeper plane
Embracing you and keeping you safe
Sometimes memories drive me insane.

My Attractions Ii

All about me the butterflies feed and soar,
my heart flutters, my mind takes flight.
Every second electrons escape bondage, shed light—
this is how I would paint the day, flapping in joy,
instant by instant changing images, changing tune,
beckoning me beyond my world, afar, off on a flight
out of this world where we feel gravity full upon us
weighted by the actual, wedded to the world
until we realize, we are the element called imagination.

Spring Attractions

Spring Attractions

Twas every day upon the arbor
that a certain early bird eagerly sang.
Every day, as sun appeared, his audible
voice awakened bluebells…allowing this
opera house a song and sight of spring.

Always dreaming of Spring, along with
its serenading offspring; for ears to enjoy,
craving eyes to appreciate… feastings offered
with a daily entertainment value of sight and sound.

It was every day aside this arbor
Mother excitedly sat. Alongside her.
in silent anxiousness, sat always her angry cat,
awaiting the early bird…a lush angora.

Coming Attractions

You get to the movies
And find a good seat.
Perhaps you have purchased
Some popcorn to eat.

The lights start to dim
But there’s no satisfaction,
‘Cause now you will see
The first coming attraction.

There used to be two of them,
Possibly three;
But now there’s no telling
How many there’ll be.

I lost count at six
Though I’m sure there were more;
And unless you walk out,
They are hard to ignore.

I like these small snippets
And hate to complain.
When so many are shown, though,
They drive you insane.

So studio people,
I urge you – be smart:
When the theater lights dim,
Let the darn movie start!
