Best Enthrals Poems
It is in the grey of icy evenings
When those dimly-lit wishes seem to fade,
A bitter nip, a woe this season brings
The chafing of hope's ardor, delayed.
Even though I grieve during the passage
Of summer’s festive and vigorous trails
How could I not ponder on this new stage;
As the quiet of misty Fall unveils
Reflective pauses where breaths gently ease
The dark and long wait of unanswered squall;
Endowing thoughts with a hymnal reprise
And, guiding stillness with poise that enthrals.
It must be the cold flakes in dusk-like stent
That restores hope with godly contentment.

in the dark.” ~George Iles

Meandering rivers, streams and burns
Zig zagging, flowing in contour turns
Sparkling waters as pure as can be
Flow through the glens and down to the seas
Much life is found in these translucent waters
Species of fish, and delightful otters
Along these rivers, streams and burns
Grow many grasses, trees and ferns
Varieties of greens in wonderment bloom
A most beautiful sight is natures front room
Her seasons dictate, the rise and the fall
The pictures she paints, delightfully enthrals
These graceful rivers, streams and burns
Lured us to settle, for beside the seas we yearned
Villages turned into towns, and towns into cities
For the lure of these waters, some murky some pretty
For all around the world, the patterns the same
These are just a few, the Thames, Ness and the Seine
Look after all waters as they are all our concern
Our meandering rivers, streams and burns

When daddy says wake up my child
And gently shakes my bed
Love is what' felt in my sleepy
state, while lifting heavy head
As mom feeds me warm cereal and milk
Love between us exist
Given a warm bath and clean clothes
Love's tenderness can't resist
Placed in a warm safe place to play
Love radiates my way
When I trip and fall, mom lifts me
Kisses tears and frowns away
Love is the emotion felt all day
When warmth and hugs come
Love also guides me to avoid
Scary places the whole sum
Love is a lullaby sung softly
When tired and sleep won't fall
Love is a kiss gently placed
As covers tucked love enthrals
Love is a good emotion felt
It soothes my inner parts
Love uplits, encourages all
Love comes from the heart
I feel that there are two emotions love and fear..
We can operate in love or we can operate in fear..

My lady
I see her face so clearly
Complete without a vice
Her every thought is purity
She comes my way yet thrice
Have seen her in a waking dream
Felt her kindness on me fall
Ageless beauty, peaches cream
Her loving me enthrals
No name, as yet unmet, the lady has
But no cause to fret about
Old friend from, fore the dawn of time
I have no never doubt.
Don Johnson
On powdered crystal wings Heaven descends to humbled Earth
Sparkling glimpses of jewelled treasures to some elegant worth
Pure, immaculate white no matter the depth to coming twilight
Billowing through myriads of veils, all fingerprints in first flight
She now dares to fall where she must, from dream in flutter
Dancing delicately...Swirling...Twirling into suddenly crisp hover
Shifted...Swayed...She enthrals my leaping, dizzying fascination
Like no other before, I marvel as she defies hurling gravitation
Intricate kaleidoscope of spirals linked and apart
Glittering feather like you float to repose my heart
Scintillating fragile, beauteous rays, for always
Imparting uniqueness in all ways, for always.
On this February day
All around the world
So many hearts
In so many twirls
Roses and chocolates
Presents of love
There will be joins of two
Like hands in a glove
Candlelit dinners
Champagne on ice
Dressed to impress
Perfumes will entice
Slow ballads play
Whispers in ears
Hands in wander
Saying, i so love you dear
Skins are caressed
As their wanting lips touch
The unbuttoning of clothes
Valentine clutch
Warm hearth rug
Welcomes their lie
Fireside glow
Begins, with the stroke of a thigh
Hands march
In ceremonial glee
The excitement of two
Rise in degree
Their shadows dance
On orange glowing walls
Symphony of their love
Inner enthrals
Their passion once fuelled
As the fire embers fade
Loves shadows diminish
From their previous display

Precious Lady… my muse
Your words amazing…
But you paint the ideal…
I see it… feel it… broken
I pray… oh how I pray
That what you write
About nature… wildlife…
Oh how I wish was real
I see for myself…
In my locale…
Many wildlife extinctions…
It's not my intention
To spread doom and gloom…
But unless folk
Are made aware…
We do face annihilation
Me, I’m just a messenger
I pass on what I read
And as I said…
Some facts…
Based on what I see…
Our leaders only thoughts
Self-gain, they're in denial
Yet the world cry’s
For its survival.
Oh my blessed muse
Please don’t desert me
I live my life from day to day
In anticipation
Of your inspirational poetry
Your verbosity
Your every word
Enthrals me…
I live in hope
That one day we…
The world… will see
Your poetry realised
Arabian stallions rampant
The magic of your jungles
Desert life… amazing
Write on my muse
The world is waiting
I love the sky as twilight falls
A breathtaking sight to behold
As hundreds of birds take to wing
Birds duck and dive, I hear their calls
From lilac skies now tinged with gold
Loud squawks, it's a shame they can't sing!
Beating wings, bird flight never stalls
As skies darken, night's taking hold
I don't want to miss anything
The changing sky always enthrals
I'll stay out until it gets cold
In summer, fall, winter or spring
The setting sun, seabirds in flight
I'll always marvel at this sight

Front-line in depth of mortar
Whistling shells and screams of torture
Blood clot gurgles death bell tolls
Hell of pain in body enthrals
Danger rings apprehension stalls
Sometimes leafless tree
looks attractive and scenic
when birds sit on it
The flowerless plant
enthrals everyone when
butterfly flies round
Waterless river
is even more beautiful
when cute kids play there
Tasteless food items
sound utterly delicious
when mother feeds us
Impoverished life
bestows happiness on us
when we boast small things
When I within your four library walls
Did engage with several books awhile
Your winsome glance, once read, still me enthrals
And my heart fast ensnared was by that smile.
While your look spoke to me in rich volumes
Little did I realise so much then
How my heart would surrender mid your tomes
That love is much mightier than the pen,
New chapters were well written in my mind
With every visit read between each line
I yearned in spirit with your soul to bind
And wished with all my heart that you were mine.
What would I not in some novel time give
To know that in your hands my tale would live.
Nothing
Nothing is lovelier than planet earth
Bar the moon and silvery stars above
Earth is our homeland and we’re free to roam
This gift made for us with the hands of love.
When sun’s slipping into the horizon
A glorious golden glow meets the eye
I'm positive I've seen what I believe
Is a vision of paradise in sky.
Nothing’s as precious as life that God gives
To you and to me, to the birds on wings
All creatures that grace this wonderful world
Trees and flora in divine colourings.
We're given daylight to view all the sights
Of many magnificent scenes we’re blessed
Dark for peaceful tranquility of night
When the weary world and its people rest.
Some have the opinion God doesn't exist
Though there's nothing comes from nothing at all
So many wonders in the universe
I believe the Lord made all that enthrals.
Beauty abound can't fail to astound us
It's the miracle maker’s creation
An almighty act of His providence
Nothing upon earth’s short of sensation.

GENEVIEVE
Notice me
Talk to me; we both wished in secret admiration
Every time I tried; something unseen holds me back
We both waited patiently; time shall fade away
I couldn’t wait on time any longer; I did what I have to do
I did it all; I noticed her, talked to her, and said my mind
Amazingly she felt the same thing I did.
At first, it was lust; hunger and thirst for her body
Hers is an appetizing body; food for the gods
She is not the first; there were others before her
Others; just as pretty and sexy but something is different this time
Her innocence enthrals me; delicate delicacy
She has the inscription on her face that reads “handle with care”
That I did and still doing; she is my precious jewel.
Genevieve
Now, I have fallen deeply in love with you
Nothing else matters except you my love; I love you
I feel things like I never felt before; you changed me
Now I know what true love is; you have showed me the right path to love
It’s complete; love, trust, understanding and all
It’s no longer a secret that only we know; I love you
With love; words of Pascal my brother...
Now American football enthrals
There are plays there are tackles and falls
It’s not stagnant or staid
And it’s usually played
By men with oddly shaped balls
My mind runs wild as my wish is addressed
Aromatic oils against my body she's blessed
Soft is her touch, heightens the desire in me
Sweet caress as she kisses me free
Aligned astride my shoulders released
Granting of sighs in surrendering feast
Erogenous zones allured in sensuous tease
Motions, her rhythm, as I sense her excite
Emitting groans of pleasure this delightful night
Manly senses ignite the fire in me
Inertial I am in positional degree
Sensuously we shadow against candlelit walls
Sharing of two as our loving enthrals
Yearnings are cried into each other we fall
