Best Crooking Poems


Heaven Sent - Tim Smith and Seren

Written by Tim Smith and Seren Roberts

Across the room I slowly walk 
Hips swaying, smile in place 
Sensually I use my body to talk 
Holding out my hands to touch his face 

Here she comes, walking my way 
Beauty and grace, with a smile in place 
Look at her swing, look at her sway 
Oh how I want to kiss that sweet face 

Gently I bring his face close to mine 
Looked into his eyes, desire written there 
Hungrily kiss his lips, they feel divine 
I stroke his neck, ruffling his hair 

She pulls me in, much to my surprise 
Aromatic perfume, she's heaven sent 
Glow to her face, twinkle in her eyes 
Her touches so sweet, I must be a gent 

Crooking my finger he follows at last 
I wait til his body is close to mine 
Slowly I turn, my heart beating fast 
Look on his face is saying all is fine. 

Following close when she calls to me 
Feelings so strong, feelings so right 
My heart beating fast, she sets me free 
Our heat steaming up, on this brisk night

Just goes to prove with a smile and a sway
A gal can entice a guy in a seductive way

Strange Foods

Our Congress has been overlooking

The wisdom of old Granny Lu-Ching

       She was full blooded Chinese

       And said, "Beware strange foods please

 Of crooks that won't eat their own crooking!"

Rain In the River - Cycle of Nature

howling wind danced over,
dripping tree heads wet in shower! 
noisy thunder
terrific lightening. 
like a mourning widow
sky cried whole night, under the shadow! 
frightening every little life on earth
weakened by summer, 
many forgot to breath...

long waited monsoon 
finally arrived!
to test the strength
of few who survived...
delighted frogs crooking
to find their mate
feathery onlookers lost some inmates..

thorny bushes covered the trail of river bed
snake like the shape, revealed
when the lightening hit the head.
darkness and fear 
was smelled everywhere!
when morning comes
will anyone be there?
 
And I see the Sun rays
piercing the horizon,
to shun her pearl drop tears!
Alas, no more darkness, no more fear..
fallen rain started rolling down the pebbles
no more darkness, no more fear..
her mourning turned to sparkling smile..
thousands of diamonds glittering to nail.. 
I wonder, IS IT NILE? :


Cry No More Son

The blood river will turn back white
Lilies will overcome river surface
Fish will make river their abode
The cloud will cry in love
Cry no more son
Stretch not your lacrymal son
Our days of joy is come

Our tale will make the book of history
Of our agony,though great will be late(dead)
Our pain,a flame buried in dark
Cry no more son,we have won
Our elegy is gone,Requiem vanished
Cry no more

The trumpet of our elephant will go loud;
Break ears,make world talk like a crooking frog
The leaves will speak of rain and fog
Cry no more son,a new song is come

Cry no more,your mates are come
The war is gone,the field is yours
Make river your ball,play in dark and hunt;
Kill,catch games of all sort
Cry no more son,we have won
Our days of pain are gone

Premium Member The Dungeon of Despair

Your whole world has plunged into darkness 
Your life has become a sorry mess 
You feel hemmed in by that wall of stones 
While the damp of despair swamps your bones 
Rats prowl in the corners of your mind 
Never and nowhere peace can you find 
All outside walk, joyful in their sun 
Blind to the mental pain you are on 
In your maze you're totally confined 
Each regret heavily underlined 
Sardonic Death crooking his finger 
Beckons you no longer to linger 
He offers gas, drugs, drowning or rope 
Markers of that final loss of hope 
His door swings open. At his invite 
Will you walk through into blissful night?

One Short Affair After Another (Sonnet)

Temptations crooking fingers pinched a nerve
seducing me in moments of distress,
and I, so hungry for the calming curves;
I flirted with my old desire I guess. 
The lapse perhaps is just a lapse and yet
the guilt is still too raw, the smoke too fresh.
How can I cure a failure and forget
the rituals that haunt my tainted chest?
Ah, time, sweet time won't fleece this strung-out fool
of weaknesses that count backwards to when
I worshipped you by cartons, let you rule
just as I let you rule my moods again.

I've not forgotten you, not one small trace,
the cough, the rasp, the residue I taste.
