Premium Member Where Willows Sway
Where willows sway in wintry woe
Sunrise shimmers on falling snow
While crimson dawn in scarlet rays
Glimmers the face of morning’s haze
As new day smiles on golden glow

On whirling winds white flurries blow
Autumn's remnants in frozen throe
While winter shudders frosted glaze
Where willows sway

Giggling blue streams struggle to...

Sway over me,
   my weeping willow ...
     twist and twirl in the
      whisk of a mistral,
     beget of precise desire.

   Supple branches to

Premium Member Pleasures of Her Sway
As chandeliers drip ‘round the hall
Bouquets' scent wafts through night’s affair.
In gown of lace she sways with flair
Until her man bows ,to enthrall
A glide of waltz into soft flight,
Where other pairs hope to find bliss
On firefly steps, perhaps a kiss
That her arms fling to breath’s...

Hips Sway
reddest rose hips sway
full in pink spring breeze -
bumble bees swarm

Sway - For the Adult Mind
You must learn self control
Because if your heart Continues
To beat obnoxiously
when you imagine
My pink lips softly parting and calling your name
Or when you close your eyes
And dream of the way my hips sway
Thinking of the curves between my shoulders and my thighs
And that when you...

Premium Member When Silence and Indifference Hold Sway
When Silence And Indifference Hold Sway

When they came for the snake to take away
I gaily approved, had nothing to say.
Next the frog, croaking after bright sun sets
Again my cold-silence hedged all my bets.
Turtle taken hiding in his hard shell
Again I foolishly thought, what the hell!

Then...

Premium Member Be Willows That Sway
my heart was a small glad sparrow
which soared on a sonnet’s dulcet breeze

there stood in a dark and dreadful forest -
not stooping for anything -
old oaks with leafless limbs

Old cold oaks, so rigid and stern,
a sparrow’s heart they would slay.
No lesson from them do I...

Premium Member 136 Word Sway
If I should live 'til one-thirty-six
what fun might I have...
how would I get my kicks?

I'd start with a dance
swaying in my wheelchair
with that lovely young lad
whom I kissed on a dare!

His eyes... oh, how playful
still youthful and bright
and the kiss that we shared
was a savory...

I Want To Sway and Bend
I dream of the wind 
blowing through my hair,
that's how I win
the rush of air is heaven sent 
cold or warm;
Gods breath is my friend
a power with great might;
that can threaten any town 
and tear down any gate,
let a twister form within my soul
the weather...

Feel the Sway - Interpretive
Trifle the thoughts living on a breeze
hearts darken twist a loving soul
eased down an anchored way
can't you feel the sway

Oh mother, hear my calls
muttered in a muted melody

Pulse, held for dear thee thou
leaving dotted lines, symbiotic
airs of allusive elegance

Imbed out an echo of relief
nether real...

Premium Member Where Sea and Sky Hold Sway
They gleam and shimmer in the perfect light
of paradise, known to the ancient gods 
as hallowed refuge, where the stars at night
pay homage from on high, and from the west
come ocean flower breezes, to a land
where sea and sand and sky hold boundless sway
and pastel...

Premium Member Whispering Grasses Sway
To a wishful breeze, whispering grasses sway
These pastures of different green colour hues
Such was it, this beautiful glorious sunny day 

Farmers in their fields, reaping in the dry hay
Skies lightened by the sun in blooms of blues
To a wishful breeze, whispering grasses sway 

Birds; within...

Premium Member Swaying Slowly
Stepping into the dance
Gently taking your hand in mine
Entering the realm of infinite possibilities
Where passion and desire breathe as one
An eternal hug
Enveloping our laughter and tears

Swaying slowly
Your breath tickling my ear
We are guided by our mirrored hearts
Open to the ancient whispers within
Arms open wide in...
