Best Dalliance Poems

Perilous is the journey, sordid is the quest, flashing flirtatious desire,
Treacherous is gaudy aspiration, playing with torrid flames of fire;
No matter how thrilling, how visceral may feel this insidious chase,
Neither it is a road to endearment, nor is it a destination of grace.

Provocative is charming...

An Devil's Dalliance


It was just one of those mornings?
Or at least I think it was, that is,
if I had created “morning’s” yet.
All my little angels trying out their
wings (in a strictly non-competitive
manner of course).  I was slightly
distracted by Creation at the time
so some of...

Dalliance With The Winter Birch

Crystal glances at the brilliant blue 
Marching up there with blinding sun soaked sky
Clouds stream by 
They come apart in seams of wonder  
As the day begins to shine
Work waits there on the farm
A dalliance with winter wind and trees...

i shall never be able to forget our affection
was deep as first love, and wild as all regret-
crimson and medallion encompass my soul;
‘neath the autumn moon i still etch your silhouette

sincerity arrived and remorse soon followed,
for i needed compassion, someone to console-
i put away my...

Life, ne'er the primrose path of dalliance 
     for me (and in league with this shady world),
like the accused who has no innocence,
     fleeced me as my tribulations unfurled;
deprived and in disgrace with Fortune's eyes,

Nights of passion with no strings attached
 Ignited by booze and a lusty zest,
 Bodies gyrating, so tightly pressed,
 Wanton desire, emotions detached

 Regrets come with hangovers that can't be patched
 The night was a blur, yet he felt stressed,
 Nights of passion with no...

The dust stand in devoted pair 
with stare towards the brush and it's fare
devotion despairs
the dust sighs
the brush forfeits
they surrender
Alas all but in an instant
so is no victory reaped
so is earning molted from the tears and given to dust
But they neglect despair
for there is hope...

“ every dalliance “
I have always found within my old books
many of which I have read over and over
and each time be it the first or the sixth
I have always found something anew.
Some I missed or skipped over
something the author wrote
that did not resonate
within my...

The Solstice showed up early
left us in the dark
promised on the morrow
two more minutes in the park
he dances with the shadows
changing them from fat to thin
promises that every day
we’ll do the dance again
so spread your arms and celebrate
the dalliance of moon and sun
a romance that...

dalliance in a bungalow; euphony.
our mellifluous voices blend and 
no longer is mine demure

felicity fills our love lagoon
an effervescent elixir
that which is becoming of beauty

that, which is so ephemeral.
fugacious love succumbs to day

for when the gossamer web of amorance 
turns chatoyant in sunlight,
their murmurous musings...

Our love forbidden, hidden, went awry.
A dangerous dalliance we did try.
With whispered words, we took the chance,
To steal a moment's forbidden romance.

But, danger lurked in every glance,
At first the dare enthralled the dance.
But, the scared glances took their toll,
Denying our love the depth of an...

Oh, it was a beautiful cloudless sunny day,
as I wandered a meadow to make a bouquet;
all about butterflies were dancing a ballet,
and I was dazzled by the song of a blue jay !

To a rippling stream I went on hearing a song,
and there a...
