Best Enrobed Poems

Chocolate Fountain Abuse- for the lover 

How easily I forget I'm allergic to chocolate
I want to dip the exquisite kosher in a Spanish brandy
Sweet, sweet, cavity tarnish boxes of chocolate

At a store window; a dried up chocolate fantasy goblet
A taste of spoiled milk, nothing dandy...

awoken yet still dreamy
i float towards the window
by which i wait
by which i dream
peering through the fog of reality
i think of you

how I love you 

face to face

peer through those incredible eyes
you expose only to me
completely transparent 
deep as you are;
gifted,
singularly unique

the sound of your...

On our wedding he gave a crystal rose
Flowering forever, enrobed in glass
Ballerina's grace in delicate pose
Guardianship of tradition, of class

Witness of first years, of paper, cotton
Commitment held, her thorns learn to forgive
Pain polished away, stains dimmed, forgotten
Like love immortal, death she will outlive

Ten years on,...

Spotted Fawn and I

I whispered quietly to you, just a foot away
"I am not here to harm you, just gathering
wild ramps on this limestone bluff" curled up
next to a beach tree, one eye peaking at me
near the ground, ears alert, you lay so peacefully
enrobed in...

The wind is crisp when clouds cover the 
sun, what passes for warm when clouds 
disappear.

Great oak trees, maple and elm, in full
bare-branched display, before the bud.

Red norway pine, just outside my window, 
enrobed in rich, cinnamon bark,
still smiles with long green needles, 
bristling with...

How I weave fancies around my dream date
If time could satisfy some of my whims,
I would, like a sprightly fawn, hop and jump
Jubilant, jocular, joyous, and juvenile!
      
Between the departing day and the descending night
If it suddenly rains as a...

The scent of Eagles
Shortly after hate-filled
Cantations
Drive you vertically insane

Nearly touching utopia
Engulfed in flames
Your editor suggested options

Including uncovering cemetery
Ashtrays enrobed in trace-water
Marble

Unforgiving
Even joyful        I concede

Your mouth dripping fresh-picked
Strawberries

While antediluvian rainbows
March towards certain death
Or nirvana
You
Said

As phases of the
Moon
Dictate

A VISION
--------
The raw reflection, she is
The silent mirror of my soul
Who in her stillness channels deep 
The sour secrets that stain
The dying hopes that drain
The heart of their keeper

Her dreamer's dream, like dice
Enfold in the fist of his hand
With rapidity, restrained
Unreleased to disband
Raveled, like the...

"The Reptilian Anthropocene"



The Reptilians
war daily 
enrobed in their
stiff distinction suits
rainbow coloured badges 
pinned to their lapels
they beat their breasts 
and oily palms
profiting from all 
the soft-boiled 
foxes on the run
cerebral cortex bound
thinking they are free-willed
and free in the fields 
they are not
they are captured by
the...

His icy grip comes loose at last.
   His blanket cannot but recede,
Like tides that breached a floodgate, he
Her coming can no more impede.

She saunters in, a slow sashay 
      enrobed in freshly scented cape  
that wakes the buds and songbird tune
      as...

As Autumn's breeze grows colder still
A blizzard blasts an icy chill
Snow flakes dance on coats and skin;
Jack Frost comes skating in

And on his cape, where crystals form
In complex beauty to transform
the air, the trees, the earth and sky
A layer of peace can catch the eye

Autumn,...

AFRICA

 O beautiful woman,
Africa,
 Admirable woman of
the tropic,
 O lustre of the
earth bathed with
sunlight,
 Today and ever
 I bask in your warm
delightful bosom!

Black woman, fine
nature’s artwork 
From primeval
antiquity;
Well-endowed ‘scape,
heaved backside
Sitting on a vast
plateau
Washed from all
sides by 
Lakes, seas and
oceans!

Black beauty,
enrobed in lush
greenery,
Crowned with the
star;
Round her...

" As I sat beneath the nightsky, is all I could see...revel in its entirety,embracing the soft, warm breeze!"


Yet another long, tiring day comes to an end,
And here she comes, once again;
Enrobed in fine black silk ;stretched into a long flowy ball-gown,
Adorned with sparkling diamonds...

I slither and climb amogst the highest of canopy

Winding, circling, selfishly stalking all heights for him

A slender, lascivious woman searching for a vee

Strangling my host, endangering its very life and limb

My rough shedding skin leaves all, top to bottom, enrobed

My teethy scales of greenery are...
