Best Ravishing Poems
Drizzling, dazzling
splinters of diamond
Shards of crystal
or liquidized glass!
Transparent drops
from a translucent sky.
Ooh, that lucid lustre:
No wonder they say,
there's something sexy about the rain
Atleast it does seem to drive
dripping lovers insane.
And then as if frenzied, suddenly excited
the drizzle converts into a heavy downpour
as thunders bellow and thunders roar
as rivers swell and rivers soar.
Rain battering our rooftop
like needless war drums
or heedless bass drums
The heavens having opened
to announce a cloud burst
Till it's said to be raining cats and dogs
or more realistically, fishes and frogs!
O' God bless the nimbus
Those soaking cotton wool puffs in the sky
Those candy floss rainclouds sailing by.
Ravishing Predawn Vision, Return To Me
My panacea, vision shining forth, wee hours of morn
Her chatoyant hair, flowed in my all consuming dreams
Her demure gaze, always smiling, never a look of scorn
In paradise, ingénue bathing in moonlit magical streams.
Ineffable appearance, stardust in hair healed heart so torn
Something intangible, mellifluous echoed with her words
Tasting of honey, her kiss removed my heart so forlorn
Her lissome dance was as easy as mere flight to birds.
Cynosure born, her beauty sent me into a trance
Such glamor, Hollywood starlets would die to possess
In love, I boldly begged for her sempiternal dance
For that affront, my princess gave me her last caress.
Never again, did mornings glow with her grace and soft kiss.
Beauty's perfection, my grieving soul will forever miss.

She Such A Ravishing Sweet Georgia Peach
I at naked horror of truth laid bare
loved her, beauty with long raven hair,
that magnificent grace of her sweet soul
those long, curly tresses blacker than coal
yet such a goddess was beyond my reach,
she such a ravishing sweet Georgia peach!
I once found the courage to ask her out
to taker her to the fair, show her about
sadly she was that day flying abroad
twas' Fate or else a timing most flawed
kissing me soft as she walked away
saying, for thy soul I shall this day pray!
I at naked horror of truth laid bare.
Loved her, beauty with long raven hair.
R.J. Lindley, Sept 9th. 1979
Sonnet, ( She of majestic beauty, kindness and grace )
Old Note:
(Fate continues its war upon this struggling soul)
New Note:
Fate and I have fiercely battled for well over 50 years
All through those years, I've suffered heartaches and tears
Yet a blessed and deserved recompense finally at last came
Now aged and a bit wiser, this declawed lion 'tis truly tame.
Ravishing Rosie Redbud raced red roadsters rapidly down the roadside.
Racing recklessly, Rosie Redbud rammed Roger Reynold's red ranger,
resulting in ruined wrecks and a raving, ranting Roger.
Ravishing Rosie wreaked havoc with tongues.
For Gwen's Tongue Twister contest
There are three things today I mustn't forget
I've forgotten the first two, the third is to do yet
I know... I remember
Must wear my dentures
To be considered as a ravishing majorette

My love is only of a man's heart and God's will.
It is deep on the inner self I love one the most.
There, that even in darkness my light flickers a smile.
And the emotions feel what they feel.
The light of the brightest and greatest thing one can know.
The love of a person's heart known from deep within thier soul.
The love of one I ravish her curves with excite.
Like that of a Winston Cup standings I thump,thump,thump.
My motor race high RPM's my heart beats out of control.
Drive me, drive me, I scream of love.
Ravish my every need in your pleasure of rage.
But love me none the less cause it be all you get from me.
A Ravishing Beauty Of Grace And Charm.
.
Born into luxury and decadence
A ravishing beauty of grace and charm
Who many a young lovelorn suitor
Longed to be betrothed and have on his arm
.
Her delicate beauty shone like a beacon of light
The most beautiful in the ballroom
And like a sparkling diamond
Catching everyone's sight
.
Her perfume wafted so fragrant and sweet
As bunches of roses placed by her royal feet
The presence of an angel
As cunning as a fox
A paragon of sublime beauty
With cascading flowing locks
.
A sheltered life she did have
Her heart in limbo
And incredibly sad
As her future
Incredibly sad
,
A preconscious flower
That evil devoured
By a revolutionary
Bitter peoples unleashed
Power.

Ravishing beauty
You've got that sexy allure
Wishing you were here with me
My sweetly scented April flower
You are my rose
It's you my heart sings to
My magic dove My lovely
You've got everything I want
And more of what I need
I am sate in my rectitude
Positively replete because of you
I love you, you know who you are.
But forgive me if I over adore you, my diamond star.
A Ravishing fantasy is given from a rose.
But Tell me my darling dear,
Will you be waiting here?
For Your presence is like a magnet attracting me,
Pulling me to fall for your Soul's grace more beautiful than an Angel's face.
When our lips collide, it's as though light breaks through my lonely night.
So tell me my darling dear,
Will you be waiting here?
For now we are alone, together as beautiful silence surrounds us,
Even confounding us of why we waited so long for each other.
And we enter into early morning promenades
As we see soothing colors the daylight arrays,
But darling do you hear me calling?
For I feel like falling.
Gracefully descending into the flowers of our love blossoming.
Now I tell you my darling dear,
If so ever I am far, I will ride on the wings of the wind to be where you are.
Ravishing Rarities
ranunculus reigns
rhododendrons resplendent
roses radiate
Some Socialize
swifts soar, swans swagger
swallows / sparrows socialize
sandpipers scatter
Tasty Tree Types
tamarillo treats
tropical tamarind trees
tasty tangerines

A chill wind bites coyly at exposed necks,
not yet draped in tourniquets of wool.
A wrapping of white, buries ribbons of asphalt.
The ways fills with metallic horsepower.
Goblets of slush like spittle fall, splat,
upon once virginal snowfields.
The rape of Winter had begun.
Rutting like rabid beasts in heat,
the roadways lay revealed before the power of the storm.
Cumulous clouds belch from grills of chrome.
As Winter like the Sabine Women, weapon in hand,
pummels the oncoming horde with icicles.
Power falls from an angry, cloud-filled, sky
weighty and white, Winter defends herself.
The surge of day brings forth an endless tide of travelers;
trampling her breast, ravaging, the once pristine vista;
shredding the thin veil of purity, only the Goddess brings;
laying waste, in mounds of mud like filth, The Mother.
She curls inward. Her indrawn breath freezes gears
grinding, screeching, shrieking the earth succumbs.
In snow like ash she lays vanquished.
The word ravishing single handedly is a woman greatest friend, Woman are judged single handedly because of the word ravishing, the word ruins her hopes for a boyfriend.
- Loverboi
The smile of a woman in the spring is prettier
Than the dancing glow of the yellow tulips of the pond
As said the other: her face is embellished and polished
With honey syrup. She really has a charming smile.
Oh! Spring, the most beautiful of the four seasons
It's majestic to see her wearing yellow
The color of hope, the pretty color of the harvest
The petals are sparkling in the air and the bells are buzzing.
No, it's not a dream, she's really beautiful
She is wearing a smile that inspires and blemishes
Men who love everything that is gorgeous and classic.
This woman has her hands intertwined on her right thigh
Like a model who is cheered on the runway, which is reserved
For the most beautiful women in the history of our planet.

Le Sourire Radieux D'Une Femme
Le sourire d'une femme au printemps est plus joli
Que le reflet dansant des tulipes jaunes de l'étang
Comme a dit l'autre: son visage est enjolivé et poli
Avec du sirop de miel. Elle a vraiment un sourire charmant.
Oh! Printemps, la plus belle des quatre saisons
Cela fait grand plaisir de la voir coiffée en jaune
Couleur de l'espoir, jolie couleur de la moisson
Les pétales pétillent dans l'air et les cloches chantonnent.
Non, ce n'est pas un rêve, elle est vraiment magnifique
Elle est vêtue d'un sourire qui inspire et qui fait soupirer
Les hommes qui aiment tout ce qui est beau et classique.
Cette femme a les mains entrelacées sur sa cuisse droite
Comme un mannequin qu'on applaudit sur la piste réservée
Pour les plus belles femmes de l'histoire de notre planète.

She daydreamed of his body, so strong.
Now was that really so morally wrong?
A man with shining, ripped, physicality
And eyes as inviting, as the green, deep sea.
Recalling their splendid nights together.
Nights absent of any of innocent demeanor.
Unbridled passion, twas a magic hook.
All published one day in a poetry book!
Readers eager to relive vividly their heat?
Ah, their passions, one day shall surely meet!
