Best Ambrosia Poems

i never wanted to be a god—
just someone you cried in front of.
that was enough divinity for me.
your grief tasted like pomegranate seeds,
sweet and bitter
and buried in the soft ruin of you.
i held your sobs in my palms
like something holy.
like juice from a fruit
i didn’t...

Beside the gurgling stream
I sit upon the grass
and watch the shards of glass
(reflected rays that gleam)
alone, as I daydream 
below the clouds that pass.

Away from urban din
it’s peaceful all around
except for nature’s sound
that flows along akin
to music soft within
where strings of joy are found.

My senses...

your eyes close …

mine stay open, bewitched
my lips move soft along your cheek -
a sublime dermal journey
from nape to mouth
I brush yours with mine, as if
miming a sigh
and they part ... slowly ... sweetly
I pull back, slightly, then press again,
tender …
our lips fit … perfectly

He smiles and gazed
deeper in my eyes,
nuzzling closer
whispering words 
I want to hear
sweetest love 
take my breath away
he whispered
have confession to make
million ways making me quake 
fuming hungers
A desire a passion
we can share
A secret 
burning like fever
softly calls my name
warm as summer breeze 
beckons me...

People watching, on a park bench under a ripe sun, 
I sat, seemingly wasting time. My heart smiled the second hour when I saw John,
my father, in the clouds. He smiled back with arms that reached
from the past to pick the sun from the sky...

Ambrosia

Black tulip Shrek 

Green envy demonstrative

Butter wouldn't melt whence churned

Into something other than itself

With chicken arms and pigeon chest

Which inside to hide

The ashes of a loved one

Departed...

Artificial sweeteners 
 Refreshing flavor 
 A modern day conundrum. 
 It says diet, but 
 Truly you’re joining 
 The cult of 
 Coke!...

It’s  July … fragrant  honeysuckles  remind me
Of  summers young when innocent passion bloomed;
Unearthing glances,  confidences  --- a  throb my heart first held
Until  desire turned into precious  love,   we ignited
The ambrosia of moist lips, the...

**Christmas Ambrosia**

           


           Christmas tree lights
           of velvety hues and blends
           on walls, do flashdance

Surely to know the ambrosial quiver
Of stiffened fruit, ripe and swollen
With stolen fragrance and lovely flush
Of seeded solvent all down a furtive face
And up the greedy pink arms of cloud-ward reaching children

Is to know also the jealous rain
Her green glances gorge on mellow delight
Indulgent and...

The minute it touched my mouth,
I groaned in ecstasy.

Still warm from the oven, 
delicate, sublime flavor,
ethereal tongue talk.

For the first time
I fully understood the term,

     melt in your mouth.

I told her. I said, "Mattie,
it's ambrosia from heaven."

Every potluck dinner at church,
she...

As we spoke I could only think of honey
It was in the flow of her velvet hair
The brown nectar in her luscious eyes
It was in her voice
The taste of her sound
Never have I heard a tune so sweet
Soft red-berried tones 
Humming through her sugar powdered...
