Best Pleasures Poems


Premium Member Pleasures of Reading
It pleasures me
That she reads me
Inside her serenity
Parked on our bench of antiquities

I, whom gazes over there at her,
Later in the dusk of candlelight
Shall remove her pink dress
Tiss then
I shall see she derives her pleasures
As I read her...

Finding Happiness In Everyday Pleasures
Finding Happiness in Everyday Pleasures

Happiness is bathing in glorious, golden sunshine,
absorbing the beauty of sunsets deliciously divine.
Dancing through cool droplets of silvery rain,
feeling cleansed, refreshed, and reborn again.

Happiness is inhaling the enchanting perfume of a riotous rose,
enjoying tropical beach sand trickling and tickling my toes.
Stroking...

Pleasures of Moving On Moon
Pleasures of Moving on Moon


You have always charmed us by your beauty, O Moon,
Sometimes fascinating Heer and Ranjha*, and sometimes,
Mesmerizing Romeo and Juliet.

Sometimes you have spread your charms, on the monuments of Love, 
Alluring the beauty of Taj*, in the full moon light of Purnamasi*
O,...

Simple Pleasures
Cotton candy clouds at sunset
 Star lit skies at darkest night
 Yellow moons in the heaven 
 My hand in yours held tight .

 Small verdant hands that say hello
 To creatures great and small 
 God’s gentle breath stirring them
 Until their time to...

Premium Member Simple Pleasures Worth Sharing
In a busy world I don't take for granted simple pleasures
like snuggling with a loved one on a chilly winter's night
Saving keepsakes of the things I collect and call treasures.
Finding myself in the dark until someone turns on a light.

I'm pleased that my children still...

Winter Pleasures
The trees are bare, now comes cold air

The breezes howl this night

I’m toasty warm, secured by charm

As we hold each other tight

 

This winter evening…

As the sun descends…

The moon is smiling…

No love pretends…

It’s all for real, dear…

As we stay inside…

The winter frowns…

While in here, we...

Premium Member Pleasures of Her Sway
As chandeliers drip ‘round the hall
Bouquets' scent wafts through night’s affair.
In gown of lace she sways with flair
Until her man bows ,to enthrall
A glide of waltz into soft flight,
Where other pairs hope to find bliss
On firefly steps, perhaps a kiss
That her arms fling to breath’s...

Pleasures Of Tender Love

confection for the sweet
a taste of delight
if only I could show you
the pleasures of tender love
that shines like golden honey
caramel apples aureate
strewn across the heavens of
cotton candy on ole buttermilk sky

set it free from its trap in the terminal
enchantment blanket of pea...

The temperature fluctuates between mild spring days to rain or even snow. Nature wakes up, and the buds slowly sprout on the trees. Coltsfoot pop up as yellow rubber balls, charming yellow flowers. I find that the older I becomes, the more I love it....

Momentary Pleasures
Every night I fall
Always hitting a brick wall
Failures always come
Thoughts of what I’ve become
Makes me want to die

Momentary pleasures
Giving up these treasures 
Changing who I was
Regretting who I am
Always falling for
Momentary pleasures

I’m always longing for love
Reaching out for my dove
But why the hell can’t I...

Premium Member Simple Pleasures
The sun lifts an edge
and peeks a feeble light
beneath a blanket
of morning fog, its dull glow
hugging the horizon, 
silhouetting a stand of trees 
and the cross-hatched
pattern of a factory fence. 
Another day has begun
with its shuffle of trite
miscellanea.

I muster an interest, sending
out my first emissary...

Premium Member Greek Gastronomical Pleasures
Sometimes words make me melt!
Like that anise-flavored, OUZO, the
Greek aperitif.
On hot cheese the waiter pours it.
A match is lit and the dish, of course, 
lights up.
Don’t ask why, but wow, it makes my
heart melt!

Poets words can be that intoxicating.
A special few set my heart to...

Whispered Pleasures
Soft whispers heard
	I swear I hear
But just the breezes
	Kissing my ears
Such gentle tones
	Descend to my soul
Echoing softly
	So I lose control

Built on those breezes
	No strength can I find
Such gentle seduction
	Of which I don’t mind
For thoughts I imagine
	Wish of pleasure, so true
Are thoughts of pure passion
	So shared...

Premium Member Life On the River
A balance in life can solve the riddle. 
To find the balance, start in the middle.
Distractions from the banks may lead us wrong.
Go with the flow where the current is strong.

The banks are sirens calling to our ears,
offering us pleasures relieving fears.
The emotion of love,...
