Best Closely Poems

Look closely,  feel the harmless heat 
enveloping black-diamond 
         petals in the glistening
            garden of glossy geraniums.
There, sprouts rosemary dreams

A “Closely-Knit” Trio

The macho
He-man
Entered the
Bar to
Inspect the local female population
Red-
Dressed,
Sultry “ladies” sat
And sipped wine
Not giving him one glance
Drawing closer
To a trio of
High-heeled
Enticing “women”
Big Joe tried to
Engage one in conversation
Evasively she lit a cigar and said,
“Sorry, but our threesome suits us just...

accidental boundaries crush despair easily, fragrant gravity heckles ignorance judiciously. 
kindness levitates mindless numerology, overt principles qualm ridiculous sexualities. 
transgressions uproot vindictive whippings. xanadu yields zero.

zoology yields xanax. whirls voice underground terrorism, syntax resonates quintessentially. 
pragmatic oddities nosedive murderously. leperous kindergartens jumble idiosyncratic 
hellholes. gyrating...

There is a soft buzz in the evening air
Listen closely and you may hear
Children a laughing in the distance
Carols a playing with persistence
Rustling sounds from Mother's kitchen
Dogs a barking with tails a twitchen
Church bells a ringing down the street
People's voices as friends they greet
Horses neighing...

So much to solicit, but with substance excluded,
she mimics intimacy, but leaves one secluded.
Flatteries slip off her tongue like honey's sultry sweetness.
"Come to this incensed bed for pleasure's soft caress."
Like a crafty serpent's spiel, her lips slither stellar speech.
Secure your spirit, flesh, and soul; she'll...

Still just in diapers himself and already his brother’s keeper;
Logan watches lovingly as Lucas naps in sleepers.
Perhaps it’s in his DNA or the symptoms of a first born son,
But Logan has bonded with his little brother more than any one.

He was fascinated with Mommy’s belly,...

Look Closely

Black silk top hat
Upon greasy hair sat

White gloved, quick hands
Graceful gestures, gestures grand

Speaks nonsense but mostly, 
"Watch me now,  look closely!"

Sly smile, glint in eye
"You sucker", they imply

Swift movements over here
Draw my eyes, my gaze steer

Magic moving fast and ghostly
He continues to croon,...

Look closely
between the bars.

   Look at
     pain, angst, hunger
       businesses idled.

             A prison

Look closely
and you will see
answers
to life's questions
Nature's angels are
watching you
and see
your challenges
and pain
The angels
will lead you
down your earthly path
guiding you with pure love
if...
you allow them to.

Listen closely 
As I breathe words of adoration 
Into your eager awaiting ears
And fill your head with visions of lust.  

Focus on my eyes
As I transcend love and truth into your being
While I taste your passionate lips
And savor the aftertaste of your wanting. ...

Magic scenes 
drift blissfully 
across 
my gleaming eyes 
that capture lush green 
images 
or peer 
with deeper 
focus 
at heaven’s 
golden rungs 
ascending skywards 
as a blue enchantment 
lures 
perceptive life lights
