Best Bashfully Poems


Premium Member Life's a Beauteous Dream
I dreamt a dream that renewed kindred memories
Rekindling past passions of moonlit love-themes,
Enamoring love-embers blooming heartfelt longings,
Crooning hints-romantic~ life’s a beauteous dream;

When merrily you enthralled me in springs of yore
Fetching yesteryears’ treasured keepsakes to fore
Lauding pages of albums seasons bygone adored
Reviving ardent allure, questing for...

Premium Member Treasure In the Mind
I saw your blue eyes, so gentle and kind
Some things we see, leave imprints in memory
Like a treasure, forever, in your mind

A gentle touch, lasts forever freely
Unexpected hugs can highlight a day
Some things we see, leave imprints in memory

We may bashfully not know what to...

Premium Member Dream 1: 4 Weeks In Positano
"Dream 1: 4 Weeks in Positano"



Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love
softly grazed, then held long

slow, deep, warm and wet

The story is written on bodies
as they walk down the streets
that story written...

Premium Member Lonely
Lonely Lenny lizard was as sad as sad can be
He lived in the rain forest in a leafy green tree

Prayed his dreams for a lady lizard would finally come true
But he was so quiet and shy what could poor Lenny do

Wandering around so sadly with...

Premium Member Moon Spoon
In a starless sky

the moon is a spoon that bashfully beams 

behind white wisps of clouds.

You ask me where the stars have gone.

"Darling," I reply, "They shine in your eyes

more brightly than the silver moon....

Premium Member The Hidden Garden In My Winter Forest
"The Hidden Garden in My Winter Forest"



First you must find the steps
Covered in wet moss, fog and cobwebs
It’s not easy to find, 
the Hidden Garden in My Winter Forest
Traverse the path to the gate at the end 
Of the twisting Labyrinth -
A key required, deep...

Shadow Dance
I listen to my shadow as it wakes
Contemplating its solitude, hearing how peacefully it
Settles over dawn’s breath, and how it looks upon
Last night’s fire, now a stain upon the earth

I listen to the sky cleft open the dawn
Watch as she tears a strip from her...

Premium Member Passions of the Night
Oh, mythical fairy, how bashfully you woo me tonight
Attuning love’s lyrics to music of the passionate night
Alluring astral delight, the moon and stars you invite
Dazzling passions emanating from your enticing eyes
Twinkling celestial heights in scintillating smitten skies
Seducing tenor of fiery night, as sparks of love...

Premium Member Fragrant Freshness
Spring adds a fragrant freshness to the air
as earthy aromas waft 'neath the snow;
and sunlight melts away Winter's despair.

Daffodils contribute color and flare;
and as balmy breezes bashfully blow,
Spring adds a fragrant freshness to the air.

Snowdrifts dwindle to patches barely there;
and frozen rivers once more start...

Premium Member Did I Say What I Said You Said
Did I say What I said You said

You said looking a little forlorn
						a little redundant
	the contradicting crosses in your eyelashes
   thrusting forth the brazen prophet in you for the day

Premium Member Grandmother's Hand
I saw a picture just once a long time ago
I don't know the artist's name or from where he came
But the image I'll never forget, that much I know
I hope its beauty to you I can explain
A small child's hand reached up so round and...

Premium Member A California Peach
He was laboriously looking 
for that one perfect peach
with soft salubrious skin, 
radiantly rounded with
robust, rubicund curves,
crying to be caressed, 
coddled and cuddled.
Her bashfully blushing rosy red 
cheeks on pale peach skin
immediately caught his attention
as she sat right there for the picking!
Oh, to kiss those...

Premium Member Love Without Hope
Love without Hope      Oh, even the sunflowers could not cope,
for their precious petals long to be plucked, from your love-me-not touch.
Can you not hear their slender green stalks, sway so bashfully,
with echoes of that recess kid fantasy   ...

The Elements of Everchange: a Name I Call Myself
LARRY LaVELLE

i call myself the man
it is not a pick-me-upper
it ain't no do-re-me
it is just the way i feel about myself
i call myself the man
one woman still loves me after 30 years of experience in narcissism philosophy
she just shakes her head and smacks me in...
