Best Intoxicates Poems
To The Brink For The Ink Crack Like Fissures
Another page scarred with ink. Upon her page, I see red ink
branded by the thoughts I think. Tattooed thoughts, that make me think
My mind imprisoned, feel the burn, Within intricate patterns, my heart it learns
past the point of no return. As I slip off her ledge, my spirit churns
Faces bob like buoys in an ocean, For her mind, it is an ocean
I'm sea sick to societies motion. I'm lost upon, her wave like motion
Clutter intoxicates my brain, Intoxication, it fills my brain
filling me with failure and pain. Strange impressions, as I view her pain
Forcing sleep deprivation muse, bubbling from my mind, feelings break loose
cigarette, pot and coffee abuse. I'm transported back, to my own abuse
Five A.M. and the pressure is strong Crack like fissures, emotions strong
to make these words move along. I feel I've known her all along
My audience awaits but I'm still She grants me audience, within places still
writing rhymes against my will. Her rhymes resonate, until I bow to her will
Blocked by need I'm suffocated, lungs filled fully, never suffocated
my joy becomes what I've hated. She’s one transcended, not filled with hatred
I can't escape the vines I've grown, a climbing flower, I've see how she's grown
notebook prison, I cry alone. With her notebook open, she's never alone
All this angst and misery, She transcends angst and misery
all for the love of writing poetry. Within her glowing landscape of poetry

I imagine being there in enchanting places
Conjuring up insights of sensuous images
Driving friendship to threshold of romance
Confessing my love when she isn't around.
When the uplifting sky adorns rosy sunrise
Quickly I abandon the constraints of norms
As soaring vibrancy celebrates the new day
Guiding my hopes to contours of happiness.
A look in her eyes now transforms my heart
Sending intimate hints to commit a trespass
As a glimpse of her smile boldly reaches out
Tearing down the barriers that hold us apart.
I've seen a change in the way she responds
When walk in the park turns to jubilant stars
And touch of her hand claims a flirting glance
Enticing our vibes to command fervor of life.
Yearning for encounter of alluring emotions
Fire of desire intoxicates dreams of the dawn
In passionate kisses forestalled for so long
Reaching finality of love in each other's arms.

Placed 2nd: My friend, My Love contest by Julie Leigh Rodeheaver
HM: Strand #700 contest by Brian Strand
Sitting on the beach in the dark of night
anticipation counts every heartbeat.
And when waves wash ashore in the moonlight,
I laugh as the tide tickles my bare feet.
I had you promise that you'd meet me here
under starlit skies, for our rendezvous.
Love's more real than lust and braver than fear,
it intoxicates and overwhelms you.
When you fall in love, you do silly things,
it's the elixir of eternal youth.
Fueling fledgling dreams, love lends hope wings,
tethered to your soul and anchored to truth.
When fantasy and reality meld,
life's so splendorous; it's unparalleled.

On a monotone Monday,
under grey skies with perpetual rain,
I became a devotee to your magnificence.
A poetic pilgrim wandering upon a path,
which would lead me to your embrace.
Intoxicated with your romantic reflection,
my ink is seduced in your rumination.
My passion is like the raging sea,
come feel my love, come satisfy me.
Oceans apart, I swim in sensual shores,
that would bring me to your door,
but alone, I drown in shallow streams.
I've become jealous of departing birds,
craving for the clouds to carry me
from lilac dusks to scarlet dawns,
so I can ascend like sunrise,
descend upon you like sunset.
You are the essence of nature,
I, a mighty tree bowing to it's mistress,
desiring your heart and soul,
not just your earthly existence,
Your love strengthens my roots,
as they spread rapidly to reach you.
My hands have become lonely,
without your fingers interlocked in-between.
Your aroma intoxicates my senses,
your persona like perfumed petals,
weaves poetry inside my mind,
which flows upon a seedless garden,
patiently waiting for soothing blossoms.
There is no remedy for my syndrome,
as each day without you,
I relapse,
without your rehabilitative scarlet lips.
Kiss me like poetry,
before I suffocate,
drain me into a steamy silence,
where there is no need for verses,
so we can merge in carnal mists.
Lust is an infatuated captive animal,
a starved beast frustratingly caged.
Set me free...
For you hold the key.
Time cries for you, reluctantly moving,
with each beat of our hearts.
In darkness I supplicate with the stars,
with your name on the tip of my tongue.
Devotion is a unity of parts,
only we can piece it together.
With you I want Sunday mornings,
where our eyes meet in rousing raptures
with your lips as my nourishing nutrient.
Love is not just an emotion,
it's a whimsical fluctuating journey -
and you are my final resting place.
Love is the wine of life
It intoxicates beyond all
Human boundaries
Love is a pollination agent
It spreads far above all
Races and tongues
Love is an endless river
That flows to all land
The song of love rules
All ears and ages
Our body and soul is tied
Together by love
Love is the best language
In the universe because
Love melts mountains of obstacles
The deep purple passion of love intoxicates
To fill life's chalice with wondrous wonder
Nothing exists in any realm which replicates
Nor has its power to cast a heart asunder
Passion makes worlds disappear with its eyes
And can teach an empty vessel what serenity means
Its warm rich fullness can overwhelm and surprise
And can invite a poetic soul to reveal its dreams
1/25/19 contest Purple 2
Being in love is when
Veils of mist vaporize
And swollen buds appear
To brighten jaded eyes.
When they open up
The heart defibrillates;
Then the rush of passion surges
And intoxicates.
*
Being in love is when
Dreams of autumn whisper low;
And the love fires burn
In the frost of winter's snow.
But the leaves spin and turn
When sorrow's pain of losing
Feels such exquisite pain;
And things beyond one's choosing
See love go again.

You never ever
Shoulda walked in this bar
It's a million miles away
From who you think you are
Music intoxicates
More than the Rum and Coke
That pretty girl smiling
Causes a lump in your throat
Sparkles and glitter
Red shoes with high heels
Her dress is too short
You love what it reveals
Yet something ain't right
She's not your baby
She's sweet bitter temptation
Disguised as a lady
She walks on over
Sits down right next to you
Asks you for a drink
One leads to quite a few
Nothing else seems to matter
As she gazes in your eyes
You imagine paradise
As you reach between her thighs
Sparkles and glitter
Red shoes with high heels
Her dress is too short
You love how she feels
Yet something ain't right
She's not your baby
She's sweet bitter temptation
Disguised as a lady
Laughter and whispers
Promises lead to dark places
Looking for something
In tight hot hidden spaces
Yet liars are liars
You can read it on their faces
You give up on forever
Just because your pulse races
Sparkles and glitter
Lay in a pile on the floor
When the sun rises
You don't want her any more
Guilt you can't escape
When you look in the mirror
You wish you could convince yourself
that the temptress led you here!
For Ryan Lucas's Lyric Contest
It seems at times we play sad parts.
Dancing on the edge of obscurity.
Music played on broken harps.
One step away from insanity.
We cling with a fervored grip.
How we hold on is a mystery.
We try not to drink yet take a sip.
The flavor of remorse intoxicates.
From our minds the liquid drips.
The judge and jury exonerates.
They cry this guilt was never yours
Still this knowledge doesn't satiate.
For the demons aren't trapped behind locked doors
Their power is infused within our pores
For Freddie's Terza Rima contest.
Melodious tides serenade along a foam dipped coast line,
we drift as a single composed symphony,
seduced by a pounding surf, its sensuous rhythm pulsates
flooding our hearts, aching to collide
in the tempo of a lone torrent’s embrace
Scorching tropical passions seize the moonlit sand,
palm tree shadows sway atop sultry weathered dunes
of lemongrass and saw palmetto,
on saltwater breezes moaning our names, mellifluously
from a quivering horizon
Warm dark rum skin intoxicates, I stagger,
lost in hypnotic topaz eyes, reflective pleadings
of deeper desires sought, fingertips probe sun softened locks,
nightshade tresses, mingling with a rippled surf
as stardust illumines moist swollen lips, parted
Harmonic waves wash atop entwined silhouettes
nearing a crescendo, a pinnacle of pleasure,
where secrets are revealed in half swallowed sighs
on this coastal haven when voices sing in
throaty whispers of impassioned ecstasy
Now as heated breaths hover beneath the moon’s glowing stare
we too build and recede, feeding our amorous desires
as the fading night relinquishes its hold and dawn cracks the sky
Our tide becomes one, our union remains unbroken,
our love, eternally bound by the melody of the sea
Breath breathes into breath
as midnight air is captured,
Flesh melts into flesh
upon the wings of rapture,
Black paradise erupts within
Shadows move in rhythm
Kiss envelops kiss
The flower engulfs the stem,
The rose bud opens her petals
embracing the heated thunder
the feeling most incredible
Liquid love melts the bodies under,
Drip to floor the elixir of the two
Body stuck to body sips,
Tongues taste the passion's dew
Searing heat like flames through flesh it rips,
Undulate in rhythm of the movement
enchantment settles in the soul
Nirvana casts a spell of melting beauty
breath is quickened liquid falls below,
Embraces tight so fierce they won't let go
Wrapped around the flesh of frenzied gasps
Ravishment intoxicates the midnight glow
That space of time that only we will ever know.

I sip on the nectar a’ bloom in your smile,
sweetest surrender now tickles my lips
Warm in its drizzle of marmalade style,
sticky in ecstasy’s sensual drips
Tasting forever on soft satin skin,
moistened my grin in aromas so pure
Flavors of love now inviting me in,
lost in the folds I have longed to adore
Dampness collects on the edges bliss,
wet to the touch as our fingers entwine
Parting excites in the probes of a kiss,
drowning in passion’s delicious design
Held in your grasp as directions proceed,
sensing the arch of this romantic night
Melting as one in a blossoming seed,
pulling you close, holding ever so tight
Wishes proceed every movement I make
drenched in a dream far too good to be true
Fragrance intoxicates as I partake,
perfectly heated this rose petal dew
Deepest desires now form as I trace,
satisfied wonders of sensual sighs
Pleasure begun with the smile on your face
finding its end with the look in your eyes

I fear to tell you
Why I go to the dark cave every evening.
If you must know
It’s because she whose heart mine is knitted with is a dragon.
A wild beast.
She devours my fears.
She invades my mind and dispels
My doubts.
She dethrones my loneliness.
And pulls down the walls of hate.
She sinks the ships of depression.
I surrendered when she broke down my
gates.
She has taken the empire of my soul.
Have you ever found her kind
In your nature books?
She raids the cities
Of my painful past
And brings to me its spoils.
She is not beautiful?
Your eyes will never tell you she is.
Her beauty is not given to sight to
behold.
She exhales fire; I burn.
She beats my pen into a sword; I conquer.
She is not among the daughters
That go down the stream at eve
With earthen pots to draw water.
She is wingless
Without the poetry
My heartbeats recites.
My whispers are the wind
She glides in.
I sail on her tears
To realms the eagles have not seen.
My ink is the only wine that intoxicates her.
When she lies drunk in my arms
that's when I sneak away
And you find me here.
Do not frown at this slave I have become.
O do not!
For I am gladly enchanted.
There is no return.
Seek me not.
You will never find me.
tracing my footprints on the sands.
Footprints can only be found
on the sands of time.
The realm in her
arms is timeless.

Every sunset beauty
found within your eyes
drenches my desires
intoxicates my sighs
Skin of satin whispers
softness sent to touch
wishing in the silence
wanting you so much
Merely but to kiss you
every dream come true
lost within the twilight
moments spent with you
This October evening
fall is in the air
together in the moonlight
as our love we share
