Best Escapade Poems

At night our souls are free to roam
Rendezvous sans inhibition
Without confines fly miles from home
On divine clandestine mission

Do whatever souls delight in
Dance under galactic starlight
Serenaded by angel kin
Adieu we’ll meet again tonight

Wind on harbor - on the wing,
a diamond, apple red,
darts and twirls beyond the string
I guide above my head.

Before a line unwound she flees.
Kite’s climb becomes a swoop.
A shift in rhythm of the breeze;
she makes a crazy loop.

I follow at a steady pace
beneath Kite’s streaming...

Paul was poking around in the pumpkin patch
Looking for a pumpkin to snatch.
The eerie sound of a fiddle,
Made him piddle just a little,
And his breath so hard to catch!

He ran as fast as he could
And hid himself in the wood,
When he turned to see who...

Burglars invade my small home.
Cats escape through door ajar.
Worry and searching for days.
Unscathed they return!...

I never cared to do the dangerous things, and liked to play it safe,
But the strict bonds of ordinariness, can oftentimes start to chafe.

I always preferred to cover my bets, for I hated the idea of failure,
Like the early days of colorful gardens, when greys...

Hush now darling
But don’t dare to close your eyes
Our bodies are crossing
Your hips between my thighs
Our thoughts crystallize

Free your minds expressions
Feel the things you see
Motivate this session
With your wildest fantasy
Think and let it be

Let our love be our genie
We are each others wings
Our love’s magic...

Suddenly the tallest mountain set on fire,
And I suddenly leaped three times higher,
Oh God, I wondered ''Is this your wrath''?
But wait, wait, I guessed that was not Earth!
There was a beautiful sunrise,
But the sun was half of it's size.
Barren yet beautiful, red yet...

(I heard this story from someone and made it into a rhyming etheree, but for all I know, it 
could be an urban legend!)

The family had traveled to the San
Diego Zoo.  About what their son
did, they didn't have a clue!  He'd
stashed in his...

Ancient oaks permeate this hidden heaven;
A hundred fifty miles from any known destination.
Filled with an energy sensed by all life;
One who wonders here is freed from all strife.

The mantra embedded is contentment;
For here is void of resentment.
This wonderful ancient forest;
Blissfully ignorant of common-day tourist.

Connected unabashedly...

What stupid fools, with foggy minds


hovering through menkind like a clouding mist of turmoil,

trying to convert humanity to ignorancy

religion and spiritual meet and merge but part their separate ways


But these persistant followers remain in the merge being insistent, intruding and demanding 


and each follower with...

Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.
My love, let's turn our somber needs to young.
This sunny day's our escapade bouquet.

Let's play to stay life's cheer upon our gray.
This day's high lovely clouds are fluffy strung.
Let's shake loose grown-up do's, go out and play.

We...

A Trump Escapade

Have you heard about a Trump escapade?
About the women he liked and also laid
Was abusing and at times being brutal
And attempts to stop him were futile
All of his actions should be forbade.

Whispers of crimson poetry
Nature's gentle voice sings to me

Taking me on an escapade
Through the thin black haphazard

Nudging me higher with each grip
The words waltz in my heart

Artless fireflies on a spring night

You held me once, the last ripe mango on the tree
We danced, the wind played love songs in moonlight
I held you, the petal priming the waggling bee
Something in kiss so sensuous flowered us with delight.

Our footsteps pressed upon the naked skin of sand
Wrote promises transistory...

Early morning chill in the air
Jack the Frost with ice in his hair

Sliding along on his slippered feet
upon trails left from his whispered heat

Singing so lightly his winter tune
hoping ice remnants will last until noon

Knowing that soon the icicles will stay
just a dingaling instrument along...
