Best Earlobes Poems

Entering the doorway through my heart
Following the nuance of space
Allowing expansion ~ mystery ~ and curiosity
To guide me into realms of spiritual awakening
Journeying through moments in time

Filled with opportunities
To appreciate and cherish
To express gratitude
To be connected to the forces
Of nature and humanity

Together we take flight

Would that I had a bracelet of starlight 'round my wrist.
A matching ring upon my hand, my earlobes starlight kissed.

I wish I had a neck chain of moonbeams 'round my neck,
To wear with robes of gossamer and be so fine bedecked;

But if I had such...

Sausage and custard and ice cream with mustard
Chocolate coated Kentucky Fried Bustard
Whipped cream with mushrooms or frogspawn on toast
These are the foods that an ogre likes most

Volcanic craters and baths full of gators
A pantry thats choc full of gagged and bound waiters
sleeping on bones in...

Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name is vanity!

By doubting Nature's regnancy,
defying laws with levity,
we strain our...

"It's all in the earlobe," I heard him say,
And I wondered where I went wrong.
For my ears were lobeless , and I was weak,
But this ear full of lobe man was strong.
As I eagerly listened to each word said,
A strange thought occurred to me.
If my...

Masai Boyfriend


I’m in love with a Masai Boy
  Tall sable-skinned giant.
In hand, a stick his joy
  Smile; true lips of a saint! 

Wealth: bull, cow and calf
  Safe from creatures feline
Identity, not Masai by half
  But, nomad of a royal line.

Sceptre;...

Cherokee Travelers' Blessing I
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

I will extract the thorns from your feet.
For yet a little while, we will walk life's sunlit paths together.
I will love you like my own brother, my own blood.

The shrill blare of my alarm clock 
Ripped me from my pleasant slumber. 
I reluctantly rolled from the
Warm comfort of my bed and
Began my morning routine.

I cautiously traced my eyes with 
Elegance,
Because he likes girls that dance. 
I glued to my eyelids
Propriety,
Because he likes decent...

Epigrams by Michael R. Burch

If brevity is the soul of wit
then brevity and levity 
are the whole of it.
—Michael R. Burch

To write an epigram, cram.
If you lack wit, scram!
—Michael R. Burch

Conformists of a feather
flock together.

"The Seduction"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

In total ecstasy and bliss, everyone knows that's how it ends
But it is so difficult for us to agree on just how it begins
But it starts with the passionate embrace of the eyes
Because from deep within the Soul is where...

MY BEAUTY
Piece by piece
I will remove them
I will undo them now.
I will undress now
Like the stripper you wish me to be
I will throw them at you
Daring you to grab them
Measuring how vast your desire is
Seeing your indecision on whether
To hold the pieces
Or to touch my...

Diva with human touch- for contest



Alighted she from her red limousine
Bedecked in A-line gown, pista green
Till the waist embroidered golden sheen
Satin silk with a halter neckline
Charming face and a vibrant smile!
Stiletto glassy gold with shiny stones
Diamonds green dangled from her earlobes
Clutch in hand golden green...

The Receiving of the Flower
excerpt from an ancient Mayan love poem
translation by Michael R. Burch

Let us sing overflowing with joy
as we observe the Receiving of the Flower.
The lovely maidens beam;
their hearts leap in their breasts.

Why?

Because they will soon yield their virginity to the...

A piece of gold, Rarely found
A kiss, so sweet, It melts a frown

A smile, That lights up a darkened room
A touch, That melts one heart in two

Compassion, and delicate
Brave, and fierce

Unfounded beauty,
Full figured woman appears

Swollen cheeks, Busty hips
Big brown eyes, Soft sable lips

Luscious hair, Draped...
