Best Softer Poems

*****This poem inspired me to show or make sentient as possible a woman of special appeal, which provided an apt challenge of my poetic Powers. Such words as 'countenance opulent' 'L'Amour and debonair' and the rhyming structure creates the 'magic third' as Bach said of...

I sit on my porch on this beautiful day
I will become this poem prayer I now pray

I have learned to enjoy the simple things in life
My daughter’s smile and the love of my wife

The way the leaves rustle in the morning breeze
God’s music always seems...

A Softer Way to Die

We live and study life
We pray that somehow
God changes his rules. 
No one wants to die
No one wants to follow
Those complicated laws;
I mean no lie-ing - no steal-ing
no sex - before marriage no
Fornicating, no killing
No lust-greed or defiling the earth.
Amen.
All we...

In this bathroom of Dr. Heath's,
The tissues so tough you grit your teeth.

No soft toilet paper anywhere to be found,
By the time you get through, how does Charmin sound?

You wipe with sandpaper til you bleed,
Soft toilet paper your bottom will need.

In this kit, relief ...

A softer silk she came,

   with tresses as a willow

   weeps long to seeking love;

Her air as stars and moons,

   of countenance opulent,

   l'amour and debonair;

Whose eyes seek the hidden bloom....

   (such goddess of slender...

When the rain pours down
on our warm bodies, we feel
alive and happy.

Two souls indulging
in passion...tasting a 
kiss softer than rain....

I was awakened 
when I looked into your eyes
softer than the dawn...

He ran the world and when he thought of stopping,
the race track played another trick on him.
His wild hair halo 'round a face, with beads
of fine salt tickle, tease.  They run down his neck.
Then, as evening entered on the blood orange
gravel, and nebula witches...

Her skin is softer than the cotton of a Southern field;
she ignites the desire of a knight deserting the battlefield, 
slowly caressing every inch of her body...
arousing in her the thrill of ecstasy.


Her young lips are warmer that the evening sun,
and they can't escape the...

Where we run
I may not always be
and when we love
will not always be this free
day to day
night to morning star
give us the time
to take each day
seconds of softer moments
before rushing away

looking back
knowing our moments
were only to hold
but never to stay
I loved you so
tender dreams
and gentle...

A softer glow from sunset's chandelier
Warm kisses on the pier of surrender
Reflections captured by lover's so clear
Romance entangles when evenings render
Silhouettes shade where the horizon meets
Timeless and breathless when passions persist
The Sea's slow metronome measures heartbeats
Inraptured kisses and a twilight's mist
To feel the soul shimmer...

Softer than tenderness
your pretty face,
More white than white, of course,
your little hand,
It's far from world your walls
and native land,
It's unavoidable
your sweety bliss.

From sweety bliss, of course,
you are so sad,
And fingers these are warm,
they are so warm,
And quiet sound and tone,
speeches are unworn,
And distant eyes of...

Enough, I'm upset you got that right
Wow even my stomach is turning 
Does this ever end good for me 
I've made sure I was careful here 
It does not seem worth the promises made

Let my heart hurt
Let my head-ache 
Let my voice quiet 
Let my...

Morning was born, softer than the pale of dawn
Glints of sunlight gleamed from pastel skies,
In my eyes, life was a beautiful canvas 
filled with wondrous hues from the palette 
held in the glorious hand of the Master Artist.

We have shared so many things
laughter tears and pain
Loneliness and lots of love
even kissing in the rain

Having dinner at the Bistro
at a table just for two
Sipping our margaritas thinking
I was falling in love with you

Your gentle hand in mine
made us both forget the past
don't know...
