Best Innocuously Poems

A TOUCH
On an impulse, but oft rehearsed in dreams,
A surreptitious larceny that seems,
In recollection pure and innocent,
Yet still concealing passionate intent
And yearning, for its chaste recipient.
Unknowing of such matters of the heart,
Confused, bewildered how to even start
To woo this object of his heart's desire.
To lie...

Good morning mister, of thy kindness to receive,
All groans of yester, thou does seem to reprieve,
With a promise to stir, tinges optimiste do contrive,
Pain’s sphincter lets laughter, it’s another reason to live.

Swaying pyjamas on sling, the autopsy right begins,
Stayed on the bed is a rolling,...

(alternately titled “How art thou dear reader?”)

(Inexplicably triggers domino effect
and doth indirect
lee send favorable
     ripples vibrantly unchecked.)

     today or tomorrow

     with a whim

It started with a small sentence
Picked up by one who demanded repentance
Innocuously sent and meant for so few
With the one the ignominy simply festered and grew

None could tell the one was so horrid
That its zealotry and hatred could be that torrid
The one crept and slithered...

Laminate

Plastic covered up definitions lip with profound mastic. 
Layered lamella formed single filed lines separating life from death; 
Held onto by paper thin adhesions. 
Besides bungling up a perfectly fine bollix, 
Laminate single handedly took arms up touching innocency. 
Scrolls of past things are looked...

Ominous Foreboding Augurs...

Innocuously incubated kindled
imperceptible dire strait
restlessness like tinder
with pinterest Deutsche agitate
barreling like a freight
train running so much
faster than an eight
track uber twittering,

rumbling, quickening and inculcate
dissension among dissolute
rabble rousers, who
do obediently initiate
rank and file will not abate,
boot re:reed out (bus) soon,
thence coalesces into ablegate
insidious encroachments

Elephant skin is bark-like and rough,
advanced to a crisp, leathery tough. 

The great Milky Way could not be so large, 
nor so grey as the elephant’s muscular trunk

with aged-to-stone sinew—a supple, flannel hunk.
The overcast skies toss a dullness on the day -

somber and muted like...

Upon Googling Petco
regarding purchasing gift card

(she tends two beautiful female felines)
Petsmart website appeared right and center

The nearest latter named store
approximately a dozen plus miles away
whereas former specialty shop

who resides within Oakland, California.

The Pebble
Sat innocuously
Silent and still,
Yet the tale it could tell, 
would span a million lifetimes.
Locked inside, for no one to know;
No one yet the pebble,
Is the fossil in it's heart.
To break the fossil free, 
loses the stone.
Sit still dear pebble, 
retain your secret forever....

I met her in a place unfettered by the world
A secret place, a place where no one would dare judge
For we were all walking the same path
But soon there would be tension, yes people would bear a grudge

It started innocuously, little whispers meant to cast...

Thru an opened bedroom (albeit screened) window...

Accessible twenty four hours a day

Time to off heal wounds
Go find maturity
Seek about respect
Confide within confidence
Love compassion while it breaks
Brink resides threat held up danger
On the brink of a break
Promise pleading
Case the joint
Lend aid to your wounded
Self less than more
More less than selfish
Innocuously alone
Marooned
Isolated
Internally deteriorated
Dismembered remains
Officially remembered
Forgotten my passing
Time to...

Writer's cramp here I come...
(to the rescue and save the day
and hoop fully a damsel in distress!)

Impending thunderstorm
"FAKE" MAGA (nah) if fuss sent)
thwarted, torpedoed - dag nabbit, and trumped

Yours truly forced to re-learn (ASAP)
