Best Delightfulness Poems


Untold Love Story

Sitting alone in a serene seaside waiting for the beautiful scenery of sunset,
Tears starting to shed as the twilight finally crinkle the day as such a closet,
Darkness finally awning me and my heart screaming like nobody could ease the pain,
Pain that hurting me every single moment of my life…it is such a strain.

In everything I do, my faith, my affection and my compassion is for you alone,
Contentment bestowed upon us in such a glorious sanctuary of existence,
Laughter and delightfulness skirted us…just you and me living in our own,
But without knowing the twist of fate given to us, we are both sentenced.

We just woke up one day, you to her and me to him without turning back,
Both shackled to others arms with no more chance to hold our hands together,
Because in a wee moment, grieving shattered us and I am stuck,
You tried to pervert the chapter of our story, but seemingly it’s forever.

We both fight… we both tried to make things better for us but too late,
You keep on asking me why it happens all that you made….
But you just don’t know how I heartily questioned our fate….
Only God knows if the untold story meant nothing but to fade.

Premium Member Green Bean Casseroles

Shame on those who malign the green bean casserole!
It gustatory delightfulness I shall e'er extol!
With 'fork in cheek' I'll take nonbelievers to task,
And their foibles and biases will strive to unmask!

Folks who disdain this dish ain't tellin' the truth.
Their culinary tastes are so pitifully uncouth!
I'd like to meet the feller who began this unsavory fable,
To ask why he destined it for such an untimely label!

At the church potluck dinner on fellership night,
There's always a green bean casserole to my delight!
A holiday repast with bountiful board just ain't complete,
Unless there's the inevitable green bean casserole to eat!

'Tis such a scrumptious dish, yet so easy to prepare.
Even I could whip up a batch, I really do declare!
Mix some beans, some onion thingys and mushroom soup,
And there you have it folks, all in one fell swoop!

Ere I flee this realm I aim to found as one of my goals,
"The Society For The Propagation Of Green Bean Casseroles!"
Upon my stone you may etch when I end this life's pursuit:
"Many were the green bean casseroles consumed by this galoot!"

Premium Member Sweet Surrender

Leaning over as she lathers 
My long wavy-hair
Rubbing my temples 
Softly telling me
How much she cares 
Feeling the hot air of her 
Eager lips
Blowing on my nape
Kissing me gently 
I can't escape 
Her lavender scent
the feeling much to great
She presses on 
Oh give me more
Please don't stop
My hair standing up
In delightfulness
My lips trembling 
Her fullness enslaves me
Sweet surrender 
my one and only love

Flying Above Ground

Delightfulness abounds
Dreaming dreams
Flying above ground.

Premium Member A Poem Lovely As a Rose

A poem lovely as a rose -
she shows to us her pretty pose.

She sits with grace atop a stem,
dew-covered, glowing like a gem.

I love to see her many hues
which often have inspired my muse.

In yellow, pink or red – each spring
delightfulness my rose shall bring.

Delightfulness like I will find
when poems blossom in my mind.

Oh, Rose, so precious, fragrant too,
I wait for you to bloom anew.

Premium Member The Error, Translation of Carlos Bousono's Poem: El Error

The Error, Translation of Carlos Bousono’s poem : El Error

				for Miguel Delibes

(There are just some words and phrases in this translation that I might yet want to modify or substitute with other alternative phrasing. T. Wignesan) 

There must be an error in the calculation,
a hole in the sock, a trick in the game :
behind our backs somebody drinks all the alcohol of the said-one
	and gets drunk and is unable to stand up ;
somebody manages to conceal the harvest’s wheat and the cream
	of the meanings.

Search. in the bassement or the dolls’ quarters the reason for the
	crucifixion,
and then be obliged to hide the powerful event behind the fact of
	taking tea in the dining-room, below the vine arbour or in the  
shade of the cherry trees.
Doubtless one will find meaning behind each vile act,
the mathematics of suffering where each crack of the whip is a
	number.
Here you have the delightfulness of the encompassing of the 
	system which provides for exclusion as well,
the co-existence of both the truths, the framework of impossibility.
Right here, in front of us, the superb fitting together of horror and 
of music stands presented,
that which engenders the enthusiastic cipher, the melody of the act
	of birth and of death.
Faintly visible from an angle/a place the beauty of water spilled  
	over the floor,
the incessant leak from the eaves trough which makes us laugh.
Look ! How all of us dance around the fire,
we put one step after another over the firebrands without 
	compulsion,
we get close to the flames with joy, we become familiar with the 
	cinder(s).
Here we are dancing, enjoying ourselves, surrounding ourselves with 	ceremony and with rites,
with the rhythm which makes us get together in the moment of
	the cremation.
Here we are without fear as if someone perhaps, distractedly perhaps,
	or enjoying himself perchance,
had undertaken for us to magically produce 
pigeons full of surprise from the sombrero or in the pocket of the 
	juggler,
from the other side of an incipient horizon gone feeble,
from where perchance we would be warned of it,
dissimulating away those emerging golds from the topmost heights,
an ambiguous error in the calculation,
a hole in the sock,
a huge trick in the game.

My Best Rain Poem

Mountains feel its cascade.
Yesterdays remember its destruction.
 
Blossoms drink its delightfulness.
Estuaries enliven effervescently.
Sunshine shimmers during sprinkles.
The freedom of rain exhilarates.

Rainwater refreshes.
Acclimates the atmosphere.
Invigorates the soul.
Nurtures all that lives.
 
Precious precipitation,
Omnipotent and cyclical,
Entices excitement.
Merrily mizzling..

I Miss

I miss - The tantalizingly teasing flicker of my thick tongue;
As over your gorgeously lovely contours, I travel around.
I miss - Savouring the thrilling chill of your breath-taking temperature;
As I, in detail, passionately traverse your every beautiful feature.
I miss - Pleasingly tasting you: my delightful, delectably delicious treat;
From top to bottom; every satisfying morsel I would surely eat.
I miss - My lips searching and tongue following in a hastily desperate chase;
Both hungrily slurping – not a tiny bit of you would I waste,
I miss – The alluring savour of your delightfulness makes my body tremble;
Thoughts of you melting in my arms, makes my aching heart crumble.
I miss – The chemistry: synchronised motion and scintillating passion;
Lavishly devouring all of you to my; if not, mutual satisfaction.
I miss – This sensual bliss, another opportunity I would not postpone;
Splendid, tongue-teasing manoeuvres: assaulting an ice-cream cone.
                                                                          End

Premium Member Airy Stillness

Sky of cyan blue
Meeting with the cobalt grey
Of the ocean depths
Waves never lacking in strength
Lapping alongside of the boat

A peace and calming
Over the airy stillness
Is the real brilliance
Delightfulness in the sky
Measures equal in the sea

Russell Sivey

Night

Night is definitely my best friend,
For it doesn’t ask me to do anything but to enjoy myself.
At night I may feel my body cold…
Then I realize I won’t have to feel others’ coldness as well!

Night is undoubtedly the most bright piece of the day.
The sky may be dark, but sunlit ideas light up the mind!
Though gloomy, at night one can be anything but blind,
For thoughts come up so clear as in a plain highway!

Night is delightfulness, unspeakable pleasure…
Time for melodies, stories, daydreaming, fulfilling solitude!
Such preciousness one shall absolutely treasure,
For dawn’s just around the corner showing envious attitude.

So “here comes the sun” some may happily say…
My consolation, though, lies in knowing far n’ away
By the end of an endless, warm and sunny day
My dearly beloved night comes back to me come what may!

Sea of Serenity

Shine on, dusk and dawn, shimmering shore, creatures explore
Ecstastically, rhythically, excitedly, substantially…playfully in harmony
Adoringly and in loathingly ways…sharks, eels, and other intriguing, but aggressive sea creatures share the ocean with humongous, gracious whales, dolphins of desire and delightfulness, and many fish and living things of that wild and free nature…

Oceans drift on, sun and moon reflected…
Freedom and chaos entwine, resurrected…

Shallow and deep…nothing in between…
Empathetic waters below low and up above
Radiance and abyss clash together and seperate the living from the dead
Emboldening the weak, feeble and unstable in heart
Nostalgic and memorable to the sea floor to the surface
Imaginative and spontaneous
Tidal waves soar — hope and happiness in store
You and I swimming together…all the more…
