Best Languorously Poems

Once Upon a Time (Templates)

Once upon a time
a lonely girl neglected 
worked among the cinders,
then with a pumpkin changed
and danced all night, the beauty of the ball.

A beast became a prince.
A fair one, raven-haired,
bit into an apple,
then lay inside a coffin
to waken later with a...

“The Ego is a veil between humans and God.” ~ Rumi

I reached out 
lifted the veil
and saw to my amazement... 
I am He
He is I
Together, we are one!

To us belong
the heavens and the earth,
we summon the sun to rise,
At our behest it retreats.

We gallop with...

I am the center of the universe
The eternal soul,
I am the supreme consciousness
I am He
He is I,
Together, we are one.

To me belong 
the heavens and the earth;
I summon the sun to rise,
At my behest it retreats.

None there is like me
The life I live is mine
Mine...

Will you be my tomorrow?
When the sun creeps languorously
Red and purple swirls,
golden tentacles stretching,
stretching to embrace the spreading wings of birds aflutter
as they draw towards those very life giving limbs as they
burst through the skies vividly
To and fro they dart
a choir of beautiful solo proclamations...

In the heat of winter one dreary night
A storm was eager to show its might,
The temperature was frigid outside
Yet it was hot and steamy inside,
Lying languorously I saw her
on a recliner of white satin and fur,
Dressed as the day she was born,
Slick as a snake,...

Curling crests cassessing coastlines
backwash bumping beach breakers.
screeching Seagulls squark and scream
mocking maritime merrymakers.

Burning boogers brave blisterd backs
scorched surfers seek shoreline shade, 
urbane under umpteen umberellas,
peacocks posed in a parasol parade.

Drifting dunes delight deserted
lovers, languorously lounging, lazily
craving comfort, coveting cool currents.
Hellishly humid, heat hovers hazily.

Spirited siblings,...

Give me all the riches
of the world and I’ll be happy,
I’ll be happy if you get me
all the comfort and luxury,

Happier still I would be if you
give me a flower-bedecked bed
to while away my days in the
company of a damsel instead;
Or,
Look in my eyes with...

I languorously love how lilacs smell,
For aromatic coffee beans I fell,
Sultry perfume stirs senses deep within, 
My palate’s hooked on Indian Cuisine. 


Exotic spice and flavors stir me, yet
The most compelling I cannot forget -
Once caught, I got addicted and enslaved -
Your fragrant pheromones’ sweet...

Whenever a Melancholy Moon,
Radiantly brimful, looms low,
And gilds the tops of the trees,
The hills, the flowing streams,
and languorously reclining lakes,
My Muse appears to me
from nowhere like a dream,
Like a flash of inspiration
to a muddled mind.

She glides towards me like
an elusive wreath of smoke
And gathers me...

"50 Words for Poe: Baskervilles"
 

 
Baskervilles 
was loping over graves 
digging dirt for bones 
sniffing evidence of dead souls
counting tomes 
it flayed time & bled the gut 
of it’s own black soul
ate it inside out
howling, 
in fast pursuit,
the dog was a Dam b****

She’d been...

  I nurtured plans to explore foreign lands, 
But haven’t found the time to get there yet. 
Under COVID unprecedented threat, 
I wish I’d gone, not languorously planned. 

“You snooze, you lose”, they say, so I have missed 
The wonders of the world I...

She darkly dreams in Anger Valley
discovered shortly and belongingly after
original Fear uncovered
floating languorously downstream
to leave behind red hot footprints
of childhood work
and play
and pray for change,
growing health,
by increasing win/win compassion healing,

Or terror aggressively swims upstream Fear
to warn future past angels of light
against win v lose zero-sum...

Last Night
by Faiz Ahmed Faiz
translation by Michael R. Burch

Last night, your memory stole into my heart ...
as spring sweeps uninvited through barren gardens,
as morning breezes...

Magnitude, the depth of sleeping oceans 
where bright eyed creatures, unseen by 
man, prisoners of prehistory, 
denizens of deep emotions, 
swim a primeval mystery 
unsolved and undefined.

Sometimes they caper crazed and blind, 
lashing with trident tongues or 
languorously wrapping suckered limbs, 
engulfing the nerves, the...
