Best Romps Poems


Premium Member Losing Her Glow
Drained fingers jot sweet memory
calling Pam’s name in every bloom,
as laced nights recall the glory
of fondness born from love’s heirloom...
Time pauses… her Glow swirls on trees
where romps christen fire tasting life..
And though wonder darts to appease
pale the ticks, yearning for dear wife.

Premium Member Global Warming
As I wake up to the dawn of another day
I wrestle with myself and ask why bother
Just another day, without any warmth
There is a chill in my heart, sadly this is true

The coffee pot sings, an attempt to lift spirits
I confess I welcome even this...

Rain ©  

I walk on slick shine streets 
in the night with my lover. 

Freshly out of bed and ravenous 
for other food, he pauses and 
licks the tears and rain drops 
from my face. 

Rain in its many moods 
quickens to sweep the...

Premium Member Seven Children
With shining eyes, the prettiest
advances leading all the rest.
She skips with glee beneath blue skies,
the prettiest with shining eyes.

The second, with a warming smile,
comes dressed in lace, and all the while
she lithely romps beneath the sun
with warming smile, the second one.

And woebegone, the daughter third,
walks,...

Premium Member Only In August
young moment spills 
 of fragrant wisp
  imbuing new romps
 that oh I taste
 freedom again...
   pulsed, enticed
by August's play--
a cycle in pure heat
lusting after joy, passion
in kiln of night's rapture

Premium Member Beaucoup Blooms
Beginning a new spring with bitter sweet 
memories of the past of romps in rye
of thimble sized strawberry perfect treats...

children dripping with bountiful surprise 
with sugary tart rhubarb pies and cream.
oh, they were and are, honeyed dreams of springtime.

When our cheeks were pink and blossoms...

Ana Pt 2
Our love continued to grow as the warm gaze of summer came forth, shinning light on the skeletons we’d became, bodies ravaged from the merciless vulture that was and is the winter.  No rays from the sunlight, so brilliant they hurt my eyes, could...

October Sun…!!!   Our summer fun
      and playful romps in clover,
   our laid back days have gone their ways;

As climate drifts your orbit shifts

Premium Member Xylophone
Xanadu may exude such percussive bliss
Youthful romps and a coy stolen kiss
Lightly tapping in jaunty melifulous splendor
Orpheus muse prances playfully tender
Pounding with swift light jazzy flourishes
Heart and soul the xylophone nourishes
Oblivious to troubles I cannot stop my feet
Notions of love brightly swing to the beat
Each...

Premium Member For There Abide - An Ode To Bacon
For there abide beef, pork and chicken
and the greatest of these is bacon
hot sizzling crispy to the tongue
satiating succulently scrumptious bacon.

For bacon curries no favor
plays the field tempts the stoic and saintly
slides into gustatorial beds
romps with tomato and lettuce
hangs out with eggs, hard boiled and...

“Oh Emma, my cherished and unholy soulmate;
Woman of air! Raw phrases leap with love and hate.
Behind glasses seethes a romantic, daring the night
August child of gothic verse, lines we all recite.

Yet , when soirees roll, your flame the men desire;
It surprises me how that glance...

Premium Member Blessings
Late night party
Board games and booze;
Happy laughter romps

~~~~~~~~~


Whiskey aged
Booze on the rocks;
Mellow fragrance

~~~~~~~~~


Blessings loiter
Smiles on faces;
Party mood

~~~~~~~~~


Purple sweet potato
Warm soupy dessert;
Zest greets fresh

~~~~~~~~~


Evening drizzle
Hazy darkness swirls;
Raindrop orchestra

~~~~~~~~~


Scary movie
Late night interlude;
Impromptu shocks

~~~~~~~~~


Once again
Slumber's limbo sensations;
Sleep talking episode

~~~~~~~~~


Moonless night
Skyline bleached black;
Raindrops fall screeching 

~~~~~~~~~


Bedtime story
Sexy postures;
Sighs and...

Premium Member Shifty
Shifty was my friend
Shifty was my lover
He lived not to very far
A day's drive in a car
Empty promises were his 
But let me tell you this
When he lay beside me
Not another would I see
His caress and touch
Gave me such a rush
Puddles and pools 
Like to...

Premium Member Sleeping Beauty
I walked into the castle
Up on the hills and in the glens
There she was dressed in white satin
She was wide eyed and smiling
The princess of sleep, mist of the morning 
A fantasy to keep


She was an angel, all in virgin chiffon
Her life a bed of...
