Best Sweep Poems
Melodies of magical wind chimes
Carry me back to such blissful times
Hand-in-hand we planned for a long life
Dreams to share as you made me your wife
When a summer breeze rides on the seas
I still hear your voice and I’m at ease
Now I wander the shoreline alone
A child left behind by fate’s cyclone
As I stroke fallen plumes from a gull
I’m beset by memories to mull
Thoughts of warm nights we fished from the pier
Wrap my soul like a blanket so sheer
I’m transformed to the girl I was then
And, Sweetheart, I’m loving you again
When a summer breeze rides on the seas
I still hear your voice and I’m at ease
I’ve been lonely today so I’ll go
Where a summer breeze is sure to blow
Sitting on sand, I’ll set a new goal
To fill the void and make myself whole
If only I can open my heart
To a man whose loss won’t tear me apart
Just a tender embrace at day’s end
You were my love; he’ll just be my friend
When a summer breeze rides on the seas
I still hear your voice and I’m at ease
Transform me to the girl I was when
You let me love you again and again

Sweep me away, my love, into the blue shores of the east,
Seize my sorrow as you reach for my delicate heart,
I have listened alone to the tunes that carry my release,
you have allowed my soul searching wonder to light its spark.
Sweep me away, my love, let us sail to our own island,
Let me concentrate on taking your height to pleasure,
I don't need any gold and wouldn't accept any diamonds,
but the core of your chest shall be my greatest treasure.
Sweep me away, my love, as we share delicate moments,
A gentle kiss on my forehead will set off my desire,
Creating sweet sounds of love with a euphony of instruments,
For only you, my sweet man, know how to light my fire.
Sweep me away, my love, up our mountain in the sky,
Feel my body yearn for you as we climb up to the peak,
My body tingling with anticipation on a natural high,
Shhhhh...let's be quiet tonight, there's no need to speak.
Sweep me away, my love, towards our life of forever,
For you are my radiance of light, my greatest endeavor.

Trump Authority Would Sweep
This is what MSNBC was saying.
While at night we were sound asleep,
Trump gave authority that did sweep;
Small hand;
Face tanned;
No wonder people call him a creep.

Cleaning up my spirit; I am using my Jesus Sweep. Letting go all these evil spirits because they are too heavy to keep. Hanging on to a thin thread as I look up high, surrounded by God’s love as I climb up the sky and fly. Cleaning up my spirit, as I look inside. Praising our Lord Jesus Christ for he has been crucified. I am continually doing God’s will for we shall not lie, cheat and steal. When judgment day comes, I am a child of God and forever sealed.
sheltered beneath doom
straw dust evading the broom...
swirling thunders boom
Supermarket Sweep
I arrive in the car park it’s full of cars
Battered and bruised and covered in scars
I drive up and down seeking a place
To leave my old banger while I enter the race!
I approach the doors - a trolley I need
Don’t forget parsley and sesame seed
Down the first aisle fresh lettuce I see,
Feeling for firmness, that’ll do me.
I turn the first corner, the trolley won’t come
A push in the back and a bruise on the bum!
Now this trolley’s fighting, it’s lost a wheel
Screeching and scraping an occasional squeal.
Pasta and pizza must not forget
And top up on brown sauce, I need some I bet.
As the trolley gets full, the fight just gets harder
But it will be worth it to top up the larder!
I pass the meat counter, a chicken I see
But I need one larger - that won’t even do me
Don’t forget stuffing it won’t be the same
And I really don’t like a brand with no name!
It’s nearly over, just beer and white wine
The latter for Mrs., the former is mine.
Now at the tills, the queue is quite short
Unload it again to pay for what’s bought
“Need help with packing?” I hear her say,
Not with the packing - I need help to pay!
Like a mourning dove, my lament is spilled
I cry in grief as shadowed night grows cold
Spirit crushed from love's promise, unfulfilled
Burdensome sorrows in my heart unfold
Succumbed by tears, I piteously weep
In sullen thoughts and restless sleep, I dwell
'cross the skies, Luna flies in lambent sweep
With consoling hope, or my tolling knell?
On winds of change, I'd soar to zenith height
With wings fanned in poetic volition
Never again fearing a mawkish night
No room for gloom, nor fear of perdition
My eyes long for benevolence anew
Where the world is adorned in hues of blue

Come live with me and be my sweetheart now
I’ll share my only bed with you and how!
If you let me love you
I’ll darn your old wool gloves 4 you
If you come and meet me brow to brow.
Come live with me ‘n teach me all you know
About poetic licence and Defoe.
I’ll mend your vacuum cleaner,
Learn expressions meaner..
How cheerfully the hours to come will go,
Come live with me and be my lover true
Without one,whatever shall we do?
I’ll mend all England’s railways
Wreck the works on weekdays
Come live with me and I will sweep your flue.
Come live with me in Norway on a fjord
I’ll use my Canon PowerShot if I 'm bored
I’ll watch the flowers growing
And see the waters flowing
How happy Wittgenstein’d be if he’d know
This is based on a story about David 'Deacon' Brown The Open Golf Champion of 1886 at
Musselburgh, Scotland.
Davy wis a genius
at climbin' up an' doon.
A chimney sweep o' sure repute
frae Musselburgh Toon.
He won The British Open
in 1886;
Ah'm share awbody whae wis there
thocht it wis a fix!
The Championship Officials
had a player oot o' sync.,
So they thocht o' 'Deacon' Broon,
A player whae'd played the Links.
They fund him up a chimney,
Cleanin' oot the Lum.
They washed him an' they claithed him
An' filled his achin' tum.
The course wis fu' o' champions
linin' up that day.
'Deacon' mumbled tae hissel',
"Weel ah'm jist here tae play!"
He played his gowf wi' panache
an' beat them at their game:
"Ah'm the world's best chimney sweep
an' that is NOO, ma claim tae fame!"

I'm touching your cold cheeks under warm sheets...
trying to make you feel the heat that speed up heartbeats;
you are awake, but your silence really worries me, dear!
" No other night is like this one, " I whisper in your ear.
Don't let your anger sweep you away and pay the silly cost,
I should have given you more when you felt so unwanted and so alone;
you thought you had found the perfect man you could trust,
I can change and remain faithful, but right now: I am that straying drone!
I look at you and show my tenderness with caresses,
I am in desperate need as you are....allow one kiss!
A heart of stone has no feelings of forgiveness;
lay beside me, this tender touch you can't miss!
Don't let your anger sweep you away and pay the silly cost,
thousands of men out there are seeking love...will you find another like me?
Doubts can block awareness and regrets is all you'll have left...
I won't cry for having done wrong, but I promise you won't regret loving me!

Prompt: Last Calling
I can pull out your heart.
Then if I wish I could put it back in.
Then mend your skin with love because I am a man.
It’s a two way street the lying and cheating.
Then honesty comes - then learnt eventually wrong most always win.
A soul bouncing on fingertips needs time to heal and grow.
The pain, gain, agony, blindly - deceit
The love people spare just not to be alone - the unknown fingertip sweep.

your sunshine loves you
Floridians love a palm tree
With fronds as pretty as can be
Along came Ian
Blowin' and peein'
And now there's nothing else to see
Feelings so fabulous
With a love so sensuous
It's like I'm living in a dream
Glowing with a bright love beam
Shining from your sexy eyes
Like warm sun beams from the sky
Penetrating through my body
Always on time--never tardy
With your kisses full of flavor
That I always love to savor
Your sexy smile gets to me
It's a nice calamity
When you flash it big and wide
I start to melt from down inside
Hair that bounces with such ease
You know how to always tease
Me with your poses and head flips
Your sex appeal slowly drips
Oozing with desired notions
As our bodies create motions
Joining two bodies together
That get hotter and much wetter
With each passionate slow touch
Sending a hot fire rush
Through two bodies joined as one
In the night until the sun
Burns brightly on this hot scene
Neither of us could contain
