Best Endearing Poems
Love is an impulse fueled by the heart,
A stimulating prompt eliciting response
Invoking affinity from halo of its soul~
Sense it, feel it, touching depth of core;
Harmonious, melodious, even in prose
Longingly love unfolds albums of yore
Etching memoirs today and tomorrow.
Love is the glimmer on giggles of child
Love is, beak to beak, feeding a newborn,
Love is a deer ambling with her fawn,
A blush of kiss love is on moonlit night,
Listen closely and you’ll hear its sound~
Sound of benevolence love expounds
Giving, receiving, never having to ask.
Love is a ballad in passions of romance
Blossoming reveries in bosoms of dawn,
Love is the chorus of nightingale’s song
Strumming its euphonic tunes of music
Enamored it comes in genuine feelings,
Vibrant and tender as flowers of spring,
Fragile and colorful as autumnal revelry.

My heavy heart ever sighs for you
A syrupy silent smile, awaiting every move
Eyes nomadic, setting like a sunset on the edge of mars
Gazing… as if to focus on the rarest star
There is a sweetness that I crave to taste
A wild, foreign but trusting terrain
Feverish fingertips padding gently on rippling arms
Stroking the soft ancient bark of driving charms
Cape Horn’s stormy seas await our return
Crash your mind on my lands so lost, so burned
As flames lick my tear-blemished blood
The hot winds of fervor rattle my bones to mud
Keep your eyes set on the edge of the red dunes
Of which the mighty tempest runs free from doom
Into the lungs of pending exhalation,
You rest ever upon my endearing obsession
Over and over, and over again,
unendingly,
like waves that rise up on the sandy shore
and lap at my feet, only to turn and once more ebb
languidly
in discreet silence, but then come back to lap once more.
To reflect on you and all you mean to me,
sublimely
brings waves of happiness in every possible way
and, gratefully, I muse about all the things you do
unselfishly,
often in silence, but over and over again each day.
And like the ocean’s amaranthine waves,
rhythmically
you cast your magic spell, filling my soul like a rhapsody
through and through,
lusciously
invoking warm, endearing thoughts of you.

A gentle being, is the rose;
though its nails can be quite sharp.
The lovely flower, I suppose;
controls the human heart.
For valentines, it bleeds so red;
for mother’s, yellow sun.
All will bow their lovely heads;
once their day is done.
Their fragrance, it will mesmerize;
all those who are near.
It doesn't matter, what their size;
lovers, they draw near.
So much more regal than the rest;
the rose, is nature’s family crest.

ALL YOURS (Mar 14) Poetry Contest
Brian Strand
Endearing love, it flanks your lives - the key?
two hearts with mercy's gift. Your hopes and dreams
o’er flowed offspring’s dry banks to guarantee
success and joy. Your children came to streams
and drank for years devoid of thanks to thee.
Still flowing freely, your water redeems
enduring love long overdue. With grace -
a cruise on us. You pick the time and place.

Know that you can call, whenever
you need a shoulder to cry on…
You can call just to talk, or when you
have exciting news, you want to share…
We didn’t work together for years,
however we seemed to gel…
We have shared many thoughts and
have learned something of each other…
I hope that we will remain friends,
no matter where we may go or
what we may do…
Best wishes go with you, no matter
where you go or what you may do…
May all your dreams and
endeavors do well and your
wishes all come true…
May God always be watching
over you, with your “Guardian
Angel” right by his side…
Endearing friends I hope we
will be, through thick and thin
don’t forget to call me…

For you, my love, for you
I swear I will change
For you I will change
With you I will change
In you I will change
And, happily too
Each morning Lord when I find myself awakening
To your love song which tenderly fills my mind
I am thankful to feel your love embracing me
While wondering if today there will be enough time
Or how many breaths in this day I shall possess
As the many hours begin to fall into place
For no one can ever take away from me Lord
The very precious gift of your priceless embrace
As I find my spirit always seems to blossom
Renewing its awesome love for you each day
I often wonder how many hearts today will feel
The tender love I feel from you in many ways
I praise you Lord, even though I have not seen
With my eyes your smiling eyes face to face
Yet Lord I am made aware of your presence
When I am blessed with your loving embrace
I have never found a time my heart is deprived
Of the greatest joy in life to be known to man
For there is no love like yours alive in this world
Yes the breathtaking love of the only great “I am”
And though one day I will face my body’s ending
This pitiful sinful cell made of bone and flesh
I know I received the greatest treasure known
For within my spirit your gift of life will last
For each day I will find my spiritual self alive
A lasting part of the living vine which endures
Knowing when the time comes to leave my body
Your endearing love embraces me forevermore.
Strong like a tree deeply rooted in the earth
We’ll remain… like a rock, God is our strength
We are safe in the hollow of God’s holy hand,
Living in a lovely land, we’ll fear no sinking sand.
Weather the wind blows our tender tree
Even if storms swings our silent… sea,
Our love will only bow to the blue breeze
We’ll sail sweetly… we will try to squeeze
Look into my eyes it’s filled with fire
For you my love… a daring desire
My heart is hot steamed on a sincere stove
I’m on fire for my angel… sent from above
This fire of ours can be quenched by many waters
On streams or sea… our love will fill all quarters
With you by me we can sail safely on the… Nile
Sharing love and life in every nautical mile
The earth was build to accommodate the water
Wind and fire…love was brought them together.
~Just relating earth wind fire and water to love!~
Passionately relentless loving me.
Tenderly, gently endearing sweetly me.
Slowly, softly lovingly romancing me.
Wanting relentlessly so passionately me.
Tenderly.
Gently.
Softly.
Sweetly always forever endearingly.
Romancing lovingly so sweet you are to me.
Gently how you magically swept me off my feet.
Tenderly so gently how you love on me.
Softly so sweetly you kiss me.
Lovingly so gently you hold tightly.
Passionately, wan tingly, relentlessly your
breathing. Softly but heavily showing how
much you so passionately want me.
Holding on to me so tenderly.
Ever so gently kissing me.
Romancing sweetly me.
Endearing Always Forever Me.
An attractive face through the restive crowd did bound
A fleeting, distant glance my truant eyes found
A passing smile that mirth and pageantry did redound
A serenating voice that echoed a blissful sound
A radiant glow that her shrouded beauty did surround
A burnished gloss that blossomed into the foreground
A tentative gesture; all my apprehensions receded into the background
A cocked head expressed a mystique so profound
An arched eyebrow did my insecurities disbound
A tantalizing, teasing finger through her hair my interest did compound
A puckering of her sensuous lips did my pattering pulse pound
A swanky bend of her knees advertised her sleek, polished legs leaving me spellbound
A swivel of her shapely hips did my remaining, libidinous core impound
I want to live my life, by your side
To give you all that I can give
And let our love float into space,
Explode into a million pieces, and disburse .
Our love is stronger than time ,passing us by
To be together all alone, just you and I
Believe me dear when I tell you always
Without you, my whole world would die .
I think of all the times we've spent together,
Under the moon, and in each other's arms
And that is why I love you dearly,
Because of your endearing and loving charm.
So hold me close and promise that you'll love me
That no one on this earth will set you free,
Our love was joined together by the ' heaven's
And by your side, you know I'll always be .
The time will come when " heaven opens up'
To welcome all who wanted eternal life,
I'ts then that I will prove ' my darling,
That I will marry you, without a fight .
My bunny is my bestie, but I don’t want to hurt my dog.
So, I do not say it aloud, for Fido is super sensitive most days.
I am followed by geese, a turtle, a sparrow, butterfly and hedgehog.
We are moving together in the most delightful ways.
Even the termites chase me, coming out of their fallen log.
Some of them slide down in to the mud, perhaps in a daze.
Ducks and squirrels surround me, following me to the bog.
This is going to be one of the most endearing days!
Innocent dreamer from the start
You pawned my bleeding heart
Titilating every brokered part
Raw beauty veiled by anesthetizing art
Melodic notes that time could not chart
Gainfully pierced each heart string with passion's dart
And o'er time lust's residual a lingering ague did impart
His love is magical and untouchable,
He is a prince of this generation.
His hugs are endearing and warm,
His kiss is forever, he loved my paintings..
What will I do without him,
I pray he comes back, like Santa Claus.
Like Elizabeth Barrette Browning and Robert Barrette Browning and marry,
They are the great poets of the century.
I miss him, his tall masculine stature,
His beautiful blue eyes that smile at you.
The dimples in his cheeks,
What could you do, the rest is fate.
I said God has it out for us,
After god has introduced him and I.
I love you Robert, marry me,
Come live with me forever, let's continue to be friends at home.
