Best Sultry Poems
Day -
dreams drift,
until they drown
in the morning dew
Certainly
circling moments -
those teasing tantalizing
thoughts, sweetly surround you
They
skillfully hide -
poetically from me
. . emotions of mystery magic
Only -
the dew
seems to understand,
those delicious, delicate desires
Longing
to dive -
in pure ecstasy,
the vibrations of you
Playfully . .

Sunday November 22nd, 2020- Poem of the Week
One hundred and six degrees was the rumor.
I checked at noon, it was only ninety-six.
Rumor fake news.
I sit on my front porch
lapping up the sun, enjoying the warmth.
Dog is panting like she has run a marathon
Sparkling wind chimes tinkle their happiness
as cat rubs against my legs, claiming me
as her territory.
Dog soon escapes to her air conditioned
fortress with her daddy who refuses to come out here.
I glory in this warmth, planning to go no where.
A humid, sultry, summer day.
Loving her for the warmth
she exudes, I relish in her hugs.
moon and stars above
warm summer night breeze blowing
arms wrapped around me
closeness makes my body weak
your breath, the warm breeze, I melt
Rippling waters moving
feeling hypnotically soothing
under our boat it rocks us
under its spell it locks us
misty fog slightly breezing
dampening the salty air we’re breathing
over our shoulders it shrouds us
silhouetting the masts around us
rippling waters moving
feeling hypnotically soothing
its rhythmic ride tells us
to give in and let it lull us
moody night skies
reveal nothing to our eyes
not the light of the moon or a star
but secrecy’s a seductress where we are
rippling waters moving
feeling hypnotically soothing
sultry sway hypnotizes us
as Eros glamorizes us

*In Greek mythology, Eros is the Greek god of love.*
Orphan Annie
Visits everyday
Her big green eyes sharp, inquisitive
Looking for love, slinky and sultry
Spends hours
With me
Sharp claws.
Has pads,
Walks silently
Almost like a tight rope walker
Our Annie meows and meows, cute
Then cuddly
Resting head
On lap.
Bird appears,
Annie restless
Disappears to back of oak tree,
Comes back licking paws, bird gone
Annie’s tummy
Go Home
Babies’ waiting

Seeping heavy under my skin
Shivering inception
Calming from its wisping caress
Tenderly soothing
Reaching with tendril like fingers
Lithe and satin
Permeating through my veins
Enveloping essence
Taming the maelstrom within me
Purity embracing
Divulging the rains of promise
Cleansing shame
Defusing against the flow of time
Forever young
Standing open in naked candor
Unselfish passion
On one sultry August day
In a clearing in the woods
Within a long delay
for salvaged auto goods
Amid decaying vans, under glaring sun
High above one ant, homebound, on the run...
Along a rugged trail
of micro hill and dale
Between pebbles and sprigs
Over shards and twigs
For seconds brief, beneath a leaf
‘Round a rock, willy nilly
Root outcrop, dilly dally;
Up the maple, fast
With head-on-haul in grasp
In and out of bark
Inside crevice, dark
Astride the edge, at last
Across a lichen patch
Behind broad leaves of dark green hue —
To my chagrin, beyond my view;
Out from under the shade
Into the open glade
Within the reflective collage
of glinting metals and shards
Beneath the tranquil sky — recharged!
SADDEN HEART Sultry Serenade-
Dedicated verse for Shasta Simms-
Verse 1:
Sadden heart, filled with blues
Lost in the darkness, can't find no shoes
Tears falling like rain from the sky
Lonely nights, don't know why
Chorus:
Sadden heart sultry serenade, whispering in the night
Trying to ease your pain, make everything right
Let the music heal your soul
Allow your heart to be renewed
Let the melody take control
Wh’cha gon do be free or subdued
Verse 2:
Sadden heart, heavy with sorrow
Longing for a brighter tomorrow
Nix neath the bone morrow
In the silence, find your voice
Let the rhythm be your choice
Chorus:
Sadden heart sultry serenade, whispering in the night
Trying to ease your pain, make everything right
Let the music heal your soul
Allow your heart to be renewed
Let the melody take control
Wh’cha gon do be free or subdued
Bridge:
It’s a bit much, to be tough
In a world where our feet
Are delirious
Close your eyes, feel the beat
Let the music wash over you, so sweet
Sadden heart, don't despair
In this song, we'll find a prayer
Chorus:
Sadden heart sultry serenade, in the midnight hour
Gently healing, like a springtime shower
Let the notes caress your pain
Sadden heart, dance in the rain
Outro:
Sultry serenade, guiding you through the night
Sadden heart, take flight
In the music, find your spark
Sultry serenade, lighting up the dark

Sultry summer deep south
not only a season
or a climate, it is a dimension
I float in it submerged...
A sinuous southern life
oblique and sometimes slow
old beauty in salty thick air
warm blood sea misty and fragrant...
Come forth my pouting southern lady
hazy honeysuckle in the heat
we lie down in green pastures
Sunday love in the valley of death...
We raise the waters of the mighty Mississippi
to a rolling raging boil
our fingers do all of the praying
she anoints my head with oil...
Holy humid sultry Sunday
I choose not to spend it alone
swing low, sweet chariot
coming for to carry me home...

Nancy needs Norman, naughty new negligee
Sexy sultry smile, she seeks satisfaction
Moaning mattress memories, masterfully melding
Orgasmic origami, hour on hour
Every entry explored, ecstasy enhanced
Elevated energy exceeds every expectation
She smiles, sighs, somehow sad yet satiated
First attempt at this form.
For Dr. Ram's Alliteration contest.
Slowly quench yourself
When you sip from my nectar
Drenched sweat and scent drips
Muscles stiffen erector
Gently taste my lips
As you search for the sector
Bliss connecting hips
Contraction of the pector
Fiercely horde the dips
Enmeshed musky trifecta
S ensuality exudes from within
U nlacing passion with show of soft skin
L uxurious curves of breast and of hips
T aste of paradise awaits on her lips
R avshing dreams, become real in her arms
Y ou cannot resist, her womanly charms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
S izzles with heat with each step that she takes
U leashes passion in moves that she makes
L ures you to come and burn in her fire
T empts with her eyes that speak of desire
R eleases pleasure in wave upon wave
Y ou can’t keep away, you’re her willing slave
ONE OR TWO? IT'S ALL UP TO YOU.... :) Love this word....

I was obsessed
with a thought of winning her
but my true feelings she never assessed
yet hope I lost never
hoping that positivity wins ever
I continued to impress with feelings pure and true
she smiled, said meet at marriage court next hour
madly joyous, dreamt proposal-cum-marriage, wait worth due
There she was with her fiancé, me not having any clue
my world came crashing down
she just wanted me to be witness for their vows “ I do”
my fingers froze on sultry noon
still somehow signed the Register
thinking destiny wishing for me something better

Sailboat helm at the quay
Serene feeling makes me cry
Sea breeze wafting in the air
Summer season sun is here.
Solitude morning feeling calm
Sense of freedom here I am
Soulful music exuding the place
Sending my soul purely bless.
Simple shanty shade held abound
Service crew serve service warmly
Shining smiles you see around
Shadow of love you feel dearly.
Short of adjectives the resort view
Seen the beauty of nature show
Silently taking pictures on my phone
Shower showing raindrop God has shown.
Shy out of sight is not known here
Scene food galore, beach sight everywhere
Sign of enjoyment of faces not a bargain
Surely next year God willing I'll be back again.
walking slow, oh it could be called dancing
crowded with Bourbon Street night people
music filling the air, we stop every so often
wrapped arms around each other and swayed
firing up to the already hot-blood New Orleans
seems to affect all the out-of-town tourists and
the nights are specially made for physical reaction
big easy, sin city, whatever, a city of cool coitus
her willowy body pressed so close to mine
her face in my neck nuzzling and groping
I feel her eyelashes teasing, pleasing, my neck
we're fused together with lover's super glue
she broke away, her café au lait eyes dancing
as she tiptoed up to speak softly in my ear
in her intense and absolute Cajun accent
sha, we gon stay out heah on da street all night
lovely Denise didn't need to say anymore
I danced her back to her pad above Galatoire's
and it wasn't just to get the grime off when
we showered with plenty of soap and water
