Best Spa Poems

I push my feet blissfully 
into smooth sun-kissed grains of sand.
Taking my feet abruptly from their fun,
 down to the shore I run.
Warm briny sea caresses them; 
they splash like happy children....

evening in the hot tub beneath a full moon
the MP3 on speaker playing our tune
the stress of the work day now over and done
the pleasures of this night have just begun

jets tickle and tease the kinks from my body
you pour white wine from the uncorked...

Offer
Offer a donative
Offer your prayers
Look into the steaming water and know she cares

Gaze
Gaze at the golden image
Gaze at the beautiful face
Close your eyes and feel her in the holy place...

I push my two feet blissfully, deeply into sand.
Buried toes wiggle in the smoothness of fine grains warmed by sun.
Taking my feet abruptly from their fun, down to the shore I run.

Into a different kind of warmth I wade my feet.
Caressed by briny ocean tide,...

ink-stained shirt pockets
full of old pens that don't write
grandpa taught me right

worn-out wallet bent
to the contours of his hip
sore with a disc slip

gramps is soldier's son
who's mighty scared of the gun
none else makes him run

but thanks to foot spa
restores a lot of chutzpah
shy toes of...

Bay area's crown jewel, The Claremont,
Where age 24 Steve Jobs and I talked,
Well, him--as to the future--I was shocked,
The guy aimed high, humble, who want for naught.

An unscheduled stop by a young Prince Charles,
That shook the hands of this Hawaiian kid.
Isabel Sanford's inebriated,
Big Head for...

The waiter recommended electrons
But they wanted something to get wrecked on --
  She drank her protein shake
  He picked at his uranium snake --
Then ordered a ginormous peletron...

In the manse market for a preowned spa house

Mine feeble efforts pale in comparison
to a kid scaling El Capitan
of Yosemite National Park,
nevertheless me, a dry witted husband
self emasculated milquetoast
of late ofttimes yawps imprecations
against fickle finger of fate.

No way would yours truly
utter maledictions against the missus,
who...

The Spa: Fibonacci-Rhyme

The
Spa
when used
be confused
by most first-timers
yet not a case for old-timers.
As timetables vary per clients customary,
employees plan on weekly, shifts expected, with clientele care to be primary.

”You Can Become Dreamy In A Spa”
(by Rainbow ?? Promise)


Soft Erie-like musical strains  -
Guitars, flutes, banjos, violins 
Float in the Air with rhythmic flare.

With rhythmic flare you lay bare,
Soft lights, candle lit, flicker there,
As Erie-like strains drone on.

As Erie-like strains drone on 
Facial being...

I watched you walk away that night 
Then later had a dream
We were sitting in a sauna
Wearing robes while enshrouded in steam 
Then one thing led to another
And soon it all quickly progressed 
'Til we were only left standing enshrouded
I think you can figure the...

I wish my love a peaceful Shangri-La
Where I can save her best from daily cares.
A warm place where winter never dares
And my heart smiles to serve as in a spa....
