Best Smitten Poems

You move your body
but you can’t  change your mind
To many broken bits
It’s your choice to waste your time
You wish and you want
to finally be fine
Penny for thought thinking
another glass of wine

You hide behind screens
Blinded by your bliss
Nothing could be better 
Than your imagined kiss
A...

SMITTEN OLD MAN

High school year book, 47
I’m not a gad looking guy –
Short hair, sport coat, tie

This remembered as I gaze across the room
She’s sitting at a table near the wall,
Lap top open, ear phones, late and all

She wears a sleeveless blouse
On a cookie now...

Leapin' lizards up in dem’ gizzards, something we call the creepy crawl. And her womb spew forth blasphemy, and her lips uttered deceit. Black alters in Bone orchards. Praise hell syndicate burn down this town and everyone in it. Red lights…, blood lust. Ambrosia, with...

Cheshire cat atop her throne
Leaving not to all alone
Mice long gone in fear of fight
Be still the home at rest tonight

In maker's bed aloft of pine
Beauty waits in satin fine
Soft rays dance upon her hide
Along side hope the loving bride

Rest not weary eyes once shed
In...

I too am smitten,
On thy lustrous glow;
Cologne of thy juvenility,
Is so stupendous;
None can stop,
Thee strewing in ambiance,
Alluring crowd;
My boggle is,
These moments of love,
May or may not last;
May leave me in loneliness;
Will be bereft,
For thy love;
Will be shattered,
If don't stay my side;
I too am enamoured,
But scared,
If...

When across this bustling crowd 
Our loving eyes hew secret tunnels
Their sweet messages to exchange
And two strangers dumb and numb with love
Suddenly want to kiss but not with their lips, 
To hug but not with their arms, 
And to confess love but not with their...

Though she really didn't like him
There was something in her smile
  That made him forget she was so prim
 But he was nonetheless beguiled

 When he saw her in the store
 He said a polite hello
 Then he engaged her in conversation
  And...

Trudging on a lonely road
In somewhat desolated and dreary mode
Stumbled upon someone ineffably enchanting
And felt the desire to espouse her, augmenting.
Ah! Her dulcet voice and ravishing charm
That pierced my heart without harm.

I told myself “Yes, I have different goals, peremptory
But to estrange this girl is...

Have I ever told you?
I was smitten with you then 
when we first met.
A quiver ran down my body
by your single look.
Your fine archery
couldn't have missed the shot
as your crossbow-eyes 
aimed at me
and your piercing sight 
like an arrow wounded my heart
with venom of your...

Smitten by his every move, his every breath, 
Moving towards me and I'm dumb struck, lost for words,
I intend to do nothing about it, just enjoy him,
Tempting me, seducing me, how desperately absurd,
Tasting his deliciousness, with each inhale,
Excitement, wondering if he feels it too,
Nothing can...

magnetic blue eyes
    the first thing that I noticed
        ... my heart was smitten


his grin was beauty
   his eyes were mesmerizing

Smitten


He was smitten with love for her;
by that arrow deep and sure.
A gooey warmth between them;
filling the heart all within.

But, loves shaft, festered, stinking foul;
to gangrenous, aching howl.
Through steamy glass his love moaned;
as he stood outside alone.

Those barbs cannot be reversed;
holding fast in a soul...

Smitten love is like the rain!
Everytime it's pouring down;
Your umbrellas out again.
Written love is bitten love,
Just screaming out in pain.
                         ...
