Best Strapless Poems

Dinner at eight 

Winter soup and roast 

both ready
 
A candle lit 

 table for two 

An empty vase 

without any flowers 

My welcome carpet 

awaiting you 

Slow cooked mulled wine 

fills the hallway 

with an aromatic scent 

of cinnamon and spice 

The fire's embers...

She was all that and much more
  The child with the smiles and the braids
    White dresses, friendly nods and compliancy
      Muddy shoes, trees and cursing
        Sent away from...

I light a candle and in its flutter
open envelopes,
each one holds a piece of your past

I make old stories fly.

A child's ringlets
bounce in a mirror
new shoes skip
ten to two
eleven
three

Lip-gloss, eye-liner, braided hair
strapless dress, stilettos
brisk kisses in low-lit alleys.

Recorded memories
for your eager ears
And I see your...

Bubble gum? Nay, methinks a box of dark chocolates, 'tis best,

A daisy? Nay, methinks a bouquet of velvet red roses, 'tis best,

Pants outfit? Nay, methinks a full-length strapless white silk dress, 'tis best,

Brown coat? Nay, methinks a Chinchilla fur coat, 'tis best,

Taxi? Nay, methinks a...

to fill my emptiness without you since I left I would cut out my heart 
every night & in the morning its full again. 
I...

Shades of Grey

Happiness can fade away
I change the way I feel today
These Shades of Grey in yesterday 
These Shades of Grey in yesterday

Her echoes "Take this madness"
Soft and silly sick with sadness
Sickened sadness painted Blackness
Tethered strapless
Choked and breathless
-Wicked lies list 
Lust for you
Kindness
You shattered me...

Yesterday I found myself slumped
into the saddest of trenches,
for no particular reason
other than a new moon cycle.
Instead of flopping myself
in my studio’s armchair to write,
I drove to the mall for an outing 
probably more expensive than 
what a therapist would charge
for an hour in his...

Some will win some will lose,the film academy will chose
Fasion statements galore with Gucci armani,and Christian dior


Rubies and diamonds shining bright,bringing sparkle to the...

1. Dimple under left eye, apply air brush.
2. Extend her legs, more voluptuous. Add 4 inches from ankle to knee cap.
3. You know...I'm just not feeling the dress. Do we have one of her in that green strapless? 
Men like strapless right?
4. Holy hell! Can...

Is this the weekend, by the way?
           (I always think it’s Saturday!)
           Load the kids up in the car –

Hanging is too good for them, 
Should cut their danglies off.
Use a rusty jigsaw blade,
They’d be afraid to cough.
Our great Judicial system, 
with infinite foresight,
Ignores these sound suggestions,
That you and I think right.
For Judges and the legal type, 
at our expense guffaw,
believing  that like...

When she was six years old,
she tried to make her hair look like 
how a friend’s did in school
but her coils wouldn’t kink anymore.
Her mama caught her
and asked her what she was doing.
She said: “Making my hair pretty.” 

Her mama said; 

“Pretty is fair skin;...

Upcountry sky gloomed darker, charcoal
as the end of summer sparking fall.
Any ridgetop beckons lightning –
distant thunder – or was it applause?
For she was strapless, bride-white lily
dancing past us 
as they silhouetted into sunset,
sparkling rosé sunflare below clouds....

The Librarian

She polished her soft curved buttocks on my suede overcoat
And the smell of her ginseng breath made me stop
And raise my head
Losing my place in the card catalogue.
I shifted my eyes to her reaching arm concealed in an ox-hair sweater
She lifted an encyclopedia from...

Sitting under a generous eucalyptus tree
It's vibrant feet buried under dark gray moist
Ground. Its pendulum branches bending toward the
bubbly melodious canal; allowing the thin silvery
finger-like leaves to caress the meandering 
Blue-green water. 

In its canopy, groups of cicadas and crickets croon
Their music like chants from...
