Premium Member Just a Bit
he enters the room
coyly she tugs her skirt
just a bit
enough to reveal her shapely legs

tossing back her golden tresses
she shakes her head
just a bit
hoping to attract his eyes

tiny shift of the derriere 
she takes long, gentle strides
just a bit
has he seen her yet?

bending to reveal...

Premium Member A Glimpse In the Garden
My garden lies between the trees
 Where lilies dance in gentle breeze
      And lilacs whisper pretty please
 To  a butterfly's caressing tease

         Nearby glows the buttercup
   Where  honey...

Premium Member September Splendor
Nourished by garland skies of scarlet blue
And velvet grass in golden green festoon
September wed us; one heart, made of two

Days of turquoise kisses, too much, too few
Cloud castles filled our eyes, too long, too soon
Nourished by garland skies of scarlet blue

As courting butterflies demurely flew
In...

Premium Member A Celestial Dance of Love
The moments of the eventide are tender
as the weary Sun kisses the horizon good night.

With dusk fading to a cobalt blue,
the passion of the Moon arises
tempting the Fairest Maiden of the Night
to join him in a celestial dance of love.

With stars twinkling like diamonds in...

Premium Member My Name Is Scheherazade
I do not want to die
Like each virgin you bed
When you have ravished her
It's off with pretty head

I do not want to die
But…Oh to be with you!
The supreme ruler, KING
So handsome, yet so cruel

You wanted your revenge
On woman who betrayed
The one who broke YOUR heart
So...

Premium Member Garden Party
All dressed in green, the rose bush beams
like a child's blushing cheeks and pursed lips;
these debutants jilted by bees
forever wanting to be kissed.
A carpet of phlox giggles like a young lady
and drips over the wall like a Dali clock,
tickled by fingers of lilies and daisies
still...

Premium Member The Day We Met- a Collab With Paul Callus
A lovely breeze blew from the sea
That autumn day was almost done;
Her thick and wavy raven hair 
Was boldly gleaming in the sun. 

She rode her mare with idle reins
Along the vast and sprawling sand,
Deserted beach that gleamed of gold.
The seagulls flew from sea to...

FINAL EPISODE OF PURE FANTASY
Hello Bad Boys!

The starry, twilight zone high above, this night
With it’s shooting stars, and the moon, so bright,
Looked heavenly, even Venus, was in sight,

Across every mountain, ocean and pond!

Premium Member Summer Fun - the Beach Story
The seashore is a wondrous stage, for in the sun's delight,
I sit and watch a play unfold- it's there within my sight!

Those beauties, young with golden tans, demurely sashay by
In search of those admiring eyes that peep so deft and sly.

While young dudes with their...

Premium Member Falling In Love With a Raccoon
The raccoon was brazen
Bold, devilishly handsome
I fell in love quickly
I know. Raccoons are no good for opossums
But the heart wants who the heart wants.

We met on a warm day
in the throes of summer
He was eating cat food when I arrived
to the consternation of a gray...

Premium Member She'Ll Always Go On Believing
Sue doesn’t sit so demurely in her motorised wheelchair.
She’ll tell folks to stop gawking as it's very rude to stare!
Beneath her tenuous frame is quite a formidable young girl,
born with brittle bones but in her wheelchair she can twirl.

Sue’s parents sadly told her that her...

Lifting of My Veil
I been seeing my life through a cloudy veil.
Although it was my fault, my own sight I did curtail.
I believed in going with the flow, how could I fail?
Until my soul I taxed with a enormous bill of sale.

Hesitation became a crutch that I demurely...

Premium Member Mirage of My Saving Grace
The black-as-widow’s-weeds night of endless stars 
was so cold...
cruel as temperature 
plunged its frigid fingers feeling through my being
fondling my heart and soul without mercy
molesting me - taunting my will to live
and just when I thought 
the ice water in my shivering veins would kill...

Burst Into Flames


You told me 
when I stepped into your bad dreams
that cloudy day,
you were on a midnight bullet flight 
to Phoenix from L.A.

Smoking barrel infidelity blues
was the red-eye, insomnia jet lag that had
you on a pillow cry toss-n-turn night

You said all your tear ashes
had fallen out...
