Best Engaging Poems
i don't care
to see morning wink
from beneath the gray film
that leaves the day
undeveloped,
it's easier
to pretend
that night
has yet to end.
night's black
is the only veil
yet to cover my eyes
and i'm tired
of playing wife
to the unworthy,
tired of hiding
behind the thickness
of gray moods.
it's raining again
scribbling night's color
upon my cheeks,
kissing my lips
with day's aftertaste,
yet i pretend to smile
when love looks my way.
in all reality
i'm too old to care,
too old to dream of...
today,
night still holds me
in the negatives,
this day's still undeveloped
yet my mind
isn't anymore,
and my last thought
before anything can blush
is to be walked
slowly down the isle
in satin and bows
pretending
to be the bride
i never was
as you lift
the veil of white
and kiss me
one last time
and pretend
to miss me.

liquor
crushed ice
an effervescent tonic
an engaging libation
a crystal glass an empty mass
a looking glass an engaging lass
a reflection fills the flask
an hourglass figure smooth as glass
a view deep
a deep view
a hot and hard jigger
an episodic embrace of the stem
a nicely paced repetitive stroked type grip
measured
a high pitch pleasured note of delight
a charge
and another...
...and another...
...and...
….....
...a spill...
...a swig...
...a swallow
an emphatic gush
a coupled roast
an orgasmic toast
a sexual rush.

"Engaging in Love and Marriage"
hearts entwine true love
romantic stairway to stars
fairy dust magic
sweet emotion escalates
precious passion ignites blaze.
souls touch fond caress
tender kisses fan love flames
halves create a whole
proposal with velvet box
eternal circles of gold.
chapel blessed by Sun
melody of wedding song
charming bride and groom
euphoria resonates
for God made their paths collide.
love will conquer life
love and marriage, challenging,
respect spousal flaws
cherish golden spoken words
quickly forgive so love lasts.

For Timothy Lee
When you smile at me
our hearts beat as one
twosome enjoying love's glee
New daylight will come
delivering a yellow sun
inviting us outside
to romantic feels
of spontaneous fun
Forever stay close to me
our paired play is spun
under sky's blue bright spree

Enjoying an appealing repartee
Over scones and a cup of tea
Belching whilst cooking
Avoiding chronic particles from choking
Comradeship amongst landed gentry and friends
It all makes faultless sense
Avoiding topics that’s nonsensical
Keeping a lid on emotions and remaining sensible
Being sensuously sociable
Status eminent and unreachable
It is nonetheless within pulpit reach
Spattered with a seven year itch
A contentious immoral pair
Culminating in an indelible affair
Relationship commencing from spontaneity
Both relenting with reciprocity
Inappropriate association stifling me
Loathing of perversity for all to see
Probing the other with a stolen glance
Guard down devoid of a lance
Facilitating a rendezvous
Gathering a result of a woo
Deeper drawn into the abyss in vain
Inglorious fall from grace of the luscious moral fountain
One part of the source
Neither one being remorseful
Subsequently asked for divorce
The indignant feeling pitiful
Both caught in shameless tryst
In the presence of taut vice
The spilling of the sauce
There shall now be no more recourse

Last night I had a face to face confrontation with my floor. I redecorated it in
crimson red. A poorly thought out medicinal cocktail, mixed with a bit too much
wine, helped me demonstratre Issaac Newton's theory of gravity. As well as
adding further evidential proof to the theory of entropy. Now blue and purple have
always been my favoite colors, so I was pleased to see my now "tie-dyed" torso.
I had a number of pleasantries in strore for the staff- like my usual red "TRAUMA"
stickers on my forehead. And, of course, I always sign in as Randell P. McMurphy
I find a hospital setting a good place to have some fun, well, at least if I'm not
dying. Sleep well, my friends.

Bio
It happens every year
Filled with cheer
A holiday when we get together
But it was the weather
Which made us stay in
Bar stocked with vodka and gin
As for the Champaigne
Drinking to success, glitter, and fame
We will open that around the witching hour
Giving the calendar stage and power
Screaming “you do notice me”
“You did pick me up for a dollar fee
When you ran into the department store
Looking for something on the sales floor”
“I was with hanging pictures that were great
Announcing the month and date”
Stating how many more days do we have to wait
To do this all again
Hoping not having to defend
Why we are not traveling in the snow
Not really wanting to go
To that lavish festive bash
Irritating like a rash
Instead, we cozy up by the wintry fire
Quiet not listening to any resolution liars
Instead enjoying the crackling and burn
What was that concern?
About
Going out
And saying “season greeting”
For the final time during this traditional meeting
Deciding to replace it with a whispering message in each other's ear
Already loving the new year

Rhyme
Her deep green eyes like jewels shone,
in silver beams of Flower Moon.
Emerald ring, a perfect stone,
for deep green eyes of jewel tone.
Oh, how he wished that May were gone!
She danced for joy and dreamed of June!
Her deep green eyes like jewels shone,
in silver beams of Flower Moon.
*Flower Moon is the full moon of May

On Valentine my girlfriend asked me what she really mean to me... And I answered -
You're the air I breathe
The blood in my veins
The sunshine in dark
The happiness in pain
The rhythm in my heart
The charm on my face
The glitter in my eyes
The thought in my brain
The place I live
The ocean I dive
The book I read
The story I write
The path I walk
The shadow alongside
The beat I dance
The moon at night
The song I sing
The beauty I admire
The teddy I hug
The woman I aspire
The attitude I wear
The moment I miss
The stars in the sky
The dream I live
The tale I listen
The secret I keep
The calm in my soul
The love I seek
The equation of my life
The chords I play
The bed to my romance
The zeal of my day
The lyrics I ink
The picture I click
The coffee to my morning
The topping I pick
The chocolate to my waffle
The sky I see
The game I bet
The sip of my tea
You're the kiss I treasure
The promise I keep
The red of my rose
You're all what I need
I love you darling

Orthopedic shoes
A life time of paying dues
Engaging pity need no ones help
It’s useless to choose
More winning than lose
What have we too done
Stop watching me run
Engaging pity need no ones help
Stop pitying me
Stop engaging me in your imagines
Engaging pity need no ones help
I am old again
This is known again
It’s useless to choose
More winning than lose
Engaging pity need no ones help
What have we too done
Now for all I’ve ever done or did
If you’re sleepy then go to bed
I’m gonna stay up till dawn
Cause I am grown
Engaging pity need no ones help

Multi colored flowers
Fresh in bloom smells fragrant
Bloomish flora garden
Daffodil flowers

Light Verse
At all women was he looking with a leer,
So evident too true and clear
You can this verify from A seer…
Even at women no longer near
And ones their hating eyes could spear
All of them passing off as “His Dear”
Save one he’d reserved “My Deer”
And would eyes into her sear:
A knife neatly slitting a pear;
God’s Seventh Law denying fear:
His sharpest lust The Engaged Gear.
