Best Loveliness Poems
I must have encountered her on a hill,
Where scatterings of ferns deepened
Through insolent winds that shivered
While watching her carry a basket of daisies…
She is Loveliness, forlorn in a drowsy pathway,
More forlorn than languid endings
Or all that death can ever reach.
By trying to alienate myself from this image
A weariness brushed on a Dresden face so pale
That the luster in her eyes became stardust ,
While I designed a self-tumbling act as a ploy
To gaze at her closer , oh one divine mystery.
Just there, etches of beauty flatter her hair,
Like a dream capricious as twilight leaving
And in her almond eyes, the moon-flakes glimmer
How by chance, this silhouette found me breathless,
That I did gravitate through her bloom, weakening--
She, an air between death and forever… Loveliness on a hill.

Looking at your misshapen little red face,
only a mother can appreciate the beauty when seeing her
very precious baby for the first time.
Eyes filled with happy tears as I
looked at your blonde hair and blue eyes and
inspected your tiny little fingers and toes.
Never had I seen a more beautiful child –
everything about you was simply perfect!
Soon you were sleeping peacefully,
safe in the arms of your adoring mother.

Awaiting Loveliness - Acrostic
L Longing for the warmth of springtime days
O over frigid gloom of wintertime,
V varied memories come sweetly forth.
E Etched like a painting by Monet, I see
L longer, brighter days with springtime sun
I inviting buds to slowly make debut,
N nudging dormant trees to hazy green;
E expressing to have wintertime unfold
S springtime bliss when waiting earth renews
S splendid newborn days of loveliness.

Loveliness comes in many forms
On millions of God's creations.
Valentines are symbols of loveliness,
Extended by one who loves.
Lilies of the field are examples
In nature's ever changing scene.
No matter where we look, loveliness is there.
Especially in Springtime it lingers,
Spreading joy in a seasonal show,
Surrounding us with joy and delight.

Loveliness
So I vow,
I vow
To you infinitely, my loneliness;
A goblet, a sky, your soul
into the future through God's beautiful world
I starve wedding bliss,
I do starve for your kiss;
joined together, I give you bound;
joined to never rob you of my heart
my Loveliness
I vow your my loveliness

Let's darken the room, get comfortable, and close our eyes.
Over the next--whatever length of time is needed--let's be
Very still, quiet, and contemplative. Our intent must be to
Expel all that's heavy, negative, and unappealing, allowing all that's
light, positive, and pleasant to flood our minds--every person,
Idea, thing, or place that brings joy and fulfilment.
Nothing increases appreciation of life's loveliness and
Enhances our devotion to all that we love more than
Sitting, with eyes closed, alone and silent, and dedicating
Some time to thoughts of them before returning to them refreshed.

Lavender powered with heavenly cool night scent
Obsessed with her loveliness under the magnificent blue of twilight
Vulnerable to her humming presence ever blind
Entwined magically around her smile wishing her mine
Love, passionate love that will never end
Infinite lavender petals unfurl opening to the wind
Nurturing the moonlight melting into the pores
Embracing golden tendrils woven into our hearts
Surround with sweet savoring love’s desire
Sinless warm tender blossom

Lured by the dulcet song of a lark perched
On the low-hanging limb of a blossoming tree, around which
Violets had sprung in wild beauty among the verdancy as if
Embroidering the lush long meadow grasses, I
Lingered, while the ballerina breeze lightly danced flowers’ fragrance to me.
Imbued with the luminescence of a
New day’s dawn, the nearby lake was sparkling.
Elysian my whole world seemed, enveloping me in
Splendor, so I stayed, lazing in the sun, listening to the
Susurrus wind and the lark’s sweet serenade.

swirls of colors
paint flamboyant landscape...
her loveliness flaunts
Lust has betrayed me many times
Opened me up in ways I had not imagined
Very few times have I escaped her clutches
Every time I say "Never again!"
Lonely women seem to be my weakness
I feel the pull of their longing hearts
Not knowing if it is possible to resist
Every molecule cries for their touch
So I acquiesce to my addiction
Seeking and wanting their loveliness
Your wish is my command John.
Note: fictional write
Happily married 22 years!
Lost in the labyrinth of your loveliness
L ost in the labyrinth of your loveliness
O bscured obstacles can never obstruct my
V ision of your elegance and graciousness
E ffortlessly effusing and enlightening and
L iberating my mind, inspiring my heart and soul
I ntuitively knowing and satiating my every desire
N eed and want, emancipating negativity and
E liminating all disillusioned and disquieting thoughts
S plendidly sophisticated in your stunning simplicity
S oftly and silently satisfying my spirit and soul.

A little bit of loveliness
Goes a long way
It can change a mood
Or make a day
A little bit of loveliness
Comes in all shapes and forms
It is not a cure or solution
Simply calms a mind and a heart it warms
So treat yourself to a little bit of loveliness
Impart or share with another
Feel its uplifting strength
And the simple joy it uncovers
L ight of evening arrives on its accord
O pening a mantle for spring’s preview…
V ast the earth toned in rose-white, and though
E ver cold, I roam the garden to admire
L ittle buds waking on dewy mist, while
I llumined stars flame against a pale sky.
N owhere can grandeur find pure beauty when
E ach quiver, each throb of blooms enthralls my
S pirit, to restore an inner glow that whirls,
S haping their arms, my arms… birth of night’s florets!

Look again at your reflection in the mirror, and try to
Open your heart to the truth I am going to whisper. Your
Vision will clear to see what I behold when I look at you.
Each time you smile I see into your heart beneath the long
Lashes of your eyes. They waver from soft blue to deepest
Indigo when I touch your ivory cheek. And when I kiss the
Nape of your neck, you shiver. My love, not only with my
Eyes do I admire the loveliness of you. I hear it in your soft
Silken voice as you sing bedtime lullabies to our children. I
Stand behind you at the mirror, gazing at my beautiful wife.

L~etting out a gasp, the young man stared at the pretty face.
O~pening the curtains, he noticed a
V~eil covering the beautiful
E~ndearing visage of a young
L~ady who sat upon purple velvet cushions.
I~side was the decor of the patterned interior of
N~eedlework with gold and purple threads.
E~nsuring that the horses were well fastened, the footman
S~lid some cushioned steps before the carriage doors;
S~o that this adorable lady may step down. How gorgeous she looked!
