Besotted Poems - Poems about Besotted

When I compare my love to frozen vines, repressed beneath the frost’s relentless grip, while sweetness looms, I nary taste the wines of love that lingers taunting me to sip. My aching skin, akin to frozen grapes, betrays the warmth your nectar must exude. Though pressed by weight and time, still on I traipse, a doom I meet, forbearing interlude. I crave your...

O my heart, why? Why do you despair? Why not be more patient? You wish for the unwishable, Love is but an elusive maiden A wistful illusion… Who has ever reined in the whimsical wind? Who has ever ensnared the sunshine? Who has ever fettered the waves of the sea? Who has ever restrained color? Who has ever confined beauty? Forbear, my heart, make no such...

Why are you hiding from my sight ? Then I hide in the shadows without you Days passed as cool and dark Like a saint living in the mystery Lost my dream somewhere Thoughts of you sorronding always Iam lost if you are away You are the beating of my heart You could share the beauty of your mind Be someone who is always...

Prejudice and malice Both besotted beggars Gamboling, galumphing, griping and gripping a solstice In limpid lives whose tigers and daggers Stagger, simulate and strut along Craven Oblong, wrong on a song gong Sloven and driven Unexpectedly pop up in interpersonal interactions Writhing like serpents Wreaking heady havoc in their insurrections Contents, events, proponents and deponents To defy, modify and stupefy logic Contemplate disunity In a rogue republic Whose unity The...

Can the sun usurp the throne of chilling sister moon, To warm the wily midnight air As though it yet were noon; And can an earthbound soul take flight To soar beyond despair? Oh yes – when you are there. Can some metamorphosis Those daily tasks transform Into a ritual love dance Between two souls reborn; And can the ugliness around Escape my blinkered eye? Oh yes –...

While sitting back and listening to my confreres in their conversation a glass of wine – red and quite strong with Tuscany’s best Brunello as a brand, gives that taste so good; a fodder. Its spirit makes me reinvigorated as I think about relationships; be they human or in a different context generates that...
