Best Acquiescing Poems
Orange BlossomsThe amethyst paeans of hyacinth
crest with a gust of butterflies
on the scent of orange blossoms
cascading to earth like snow flakes.
Blood-red geraniums blazon Spring's birth
not with a pulsing blare,
but the soundless blush
of love's ardent swoon.
Placid jade fronds drape,
acquiescing to silent bees
emerging from blond snapdragons
as euphoria...

Scarlet ShroudYou grieve for Autumn, watching the leaves die,
and as emotional tears build, you cry.
For Fall becomes the harbinger of death,
watching the leaves die; you grieve for Autumn.
Autumn drapes the land in a scarlet shroud,
sensing Death is approaching; Summer cowed.
And acquiescing to Winter's command,
in a scarlet...

Where Tranquility's Quintessence AbidesI start my afternoon hike up a mountain trail.
October’s sunlight, the vestige of Indian Summer,
dapples my exposed skin with welcomed warmth.
Sun’s rays are gilded tendrils cutting through pines
whose needles’ sweet scent

Supine, Looking at the SkyAwestruck in its grandeur, acquiescing to mystic of refulgence up high,
Exalted I feel, lauding designs iridescent, upon sapphire blue sky;
As I listen to birdsongs, reverberating missives of sensuous eventide,
Reminiscing in titillation of love, wishing you were here, by my side.
Rippling currents strum, rhythms of river...

Innocence of YouthAcquiescing to love's defeat,
you subdue sad feelings within.
For when passion's flame flickers out,
anxieties slowly begin.
Dominating reality;
bitter tears flow with brutal force.
And wash away the promises,
that kept your hopes and dreams on course.
The weight of betrayal hits you
with the force of a speeding train.
And you're left...

Poets Are Us
"Poets are Us"
The blood dripped
off each piranha's
sharpened fang
acquiescing
compliant
with tragic complacency
keep it neat and clean
within the margins
no detours
stick like Teflon
to the poetic rules
virtuous and unsoiled

pristine are us
sanctimonious sugared pus
we live for
accolades are us

Poets are us.

The Black DahliaA phantom beauty sheathed within a gown of utter darkness,
Stalks the lonely avenues of Los Angeles, seeking in vengeances
Revenge for her murder to bring him unto justice’s final damnation!
On the corner of thirty-Ninth Street she pauses, in reverence for
The mangled corpus sliced in half, and...

The Messenger
"The Messenger"
Love is rich with
venom and honey.
there was a female ...
snake,
it watched
with green-eyed
avarice, covetting
a dove’s nest
the dove,
was white as snow,
not young, getting on,
tiny flecks of grey
the dove
alone, kept guard
in a transitional nest
over her precious one,
who slumbered
in a...

Tightly EntwineAcquiescing to its allure,
you surrender yourself to love.
And relinquishing innocence;
indulge in sexual pleasures.
Passion's flame ignites in your heart,
free of doubt, pretense, and deceit.
And desire sparks your libido;
fanning smoldering hot embers.
Sweaty bodies tightly entwine;
caught up in this moment in time.
And they experience feelings;
approaching pure exaltation!
Extraordinarily superb;
sex...

Smooth Big Cat
"Smooth Big Cat"
He was one of those guys you just knew would be a dud. "Be nice", she said to herself.
She met him on the upswing from the abyss of a dismally closed final chapter. He seemed to be unsure of himself, this did not...

The Swimming PoolThe scene is a bit too bright, and the
Water is a bit too tart. Slightly acidic,
But mostly enticing, it feels good to him.
With measured step
He walks up - jumps -
And falls in.
Plunging deeper he tries to see
But the chlorine burns his eyes,
A...

A Man From Distant Lands
A man from distant lands
Celestial musings that you said to me
Still whisper gently in my memory
Reminding me of our heavenly kiss
Acquiescing to a pull of cherubic bliss.
Nothing has been the same since then
When under the moon we secretly met
For a union of our twilight dreams
Shining...

Navigating Outward Bounds of RelationshipsVolition, orientation familiarization aahing
and oohing within restrictive paradigm molding
inviolable honorable gentility -
flagrantly, desirously, clearly boyz abandoning
willfully skirting, panting (heavily)
forfeiting abominably, (no Joe King) abiding
chomping at bit, damning delineated, or obscure
parameters, between one acceding
Earthlinked selfish living
psychosexual pining human bing,
and another ardently avowedly ambitious
altruistic agent provocateur (lol)

Destiny's Choices - For ContestDestiny’s Choices
Do we choose our destiny
or is fate a foregone conclusion,
an ever growing snow ball
an unstoppable collection
of snow flake moments
gaining momentum
conspiring to bury us?
Can we accept destiny’s fate
without acquiescing to it?
Rewrite upcoming scenes
with actions taken,
slalom at the edge
of fates fury, deny
destiny its choice.
If asked...

AmajuAmaju;
The pride and beauty of all days
In your innocent and unadulterated eyes
I have seen the age and immortality of the sun and the moon.
The incomparable blast of your unabated smile
Acquaints my heart with an acquiescing admiration
Indeed your beauty is priceless and devoid of sentiment....
