Best Tantalizingly Poems

Spring tantalizingly unfolds vernal, winsome
Blossoms of lilies pristine, undulating to appease
Fawning nectar-dreams adrift on wings of bees
Frolicking tranquility of rustling flowering trees

Refulgent summer, too, unpacks variegated
Revelry on rivers, oceans, flamboyant meadows
As ubiquitously nature paints blooms primrose
On hills and valleys oscillating jubilant shadows

Autumn’s brilliance courts dazzling...

(after Edgar Allan Poe's "The Angel of the Odd")

It was a tidy day and I sat, replete, under vellux blankets.
Sadly, my tea was weak, the bottle of cinnamon whiskey
tantalizingly low, and my feet swelling above my anklets.
So I was snippy one might say, zippy, flipping...

My eyes rapaciously closing from the rampant onslaught of sleep,
All the while, aromatic thoughts of her tingling my senses grappling for more time within my psyche to feel her breath upon my face.
Open, close, open, please stay open, slipping away, a final physically powerful determinant...

A woman friend, of gorgeous pulchritude,
presents a man with an experience
of tantalizingly erotic mood:—
to him it is a most pleasant "hindrance."
A guy friend of strong, chiseled, sexy good looks
makes a woman self-conscious, and confused,
when reading, "Fifty Shades of Grey" (soft-**** books),
and thinking of him while...

Mesmerizing distances circumvent
skyscrapers magnificently manifested
to the utmost degree

Diverse people dance
through escapades delight.
Manhattan Island floats

amidst extreme chaos
beyond a preponderance
of serenity's turbulence

perpetuating dreams galore.
The center of the Globe -----
The capital of the Empire ---

It draws tourists
with a flow of languages
tantalizingly surreptitious

delving into psyche manifestos
bewildered by temperance
mimicking captivity

A...

He was laboriously looking 
for that one perfect peach
with soft salubrious skin, 
radiantly rounded with
robust, rubicund curves,
crying to be caressed, 
coddled and cuddled.
Her bashfully blushing rosy red 
cheeks on pale peach skin
immediately caught his attention
as she sat right there for the picking!
Oh, to kiss those...

Temperately cooled shade 
From Cedar trees off the 
Coast of Lebanon
Shielded our state of 
Nudity.  Sincerely we
Speculated; as I wonderfully 
Whispered in her esthetic ears: 
"Eve my emphatically enlightened, 
This garden is stimulating 
Like paradise." As
Sweet musical rapture 
Soothed our souring 
Souls from melodious...

Virgil comes to group therapy every week in his pick-up truck with his dog, Buster, standing in the bed of the truck. The sessions are held for veterans of Korea and Vietnam. Quite a few veterans in this small town because not many males applied...

By Michael Wayne and Smriti Jha 


I will paint my love  RED across your  face as I drink in your 
beauty. 
    A river I will course in BLUE down the center of your chest.
 You turn me RED with your vibrant strokes.
 My soul...

Tune into the lark singing out its heart
as the golden rays of sunshine flood down.
Let all every day worries float away as
you relax into your surroundings.

High up the blackbird chatters in alarm
as the red fox slinks by with a fat rabbit.
Dropping it he makes a...

Midnight Rendezvous

I have slept with watermelon
caressed the firm curvaceousness,
lustily bathed in scented
come-on of baking bread,
kissed gently the smooth fuzz
of sun warmed, stolen, peaches,
tasted the salty sting
of clandestine rendezvous,
darkened room, refrigerator moonlight,
succulent secret moments
passion’s fruit
satiation’s lip licking climax
dripping on my bare chest,
tantalizingly tickling
a depleted six-pack.
The refrigerator...

"Those who have gone astray, whom [the Holy Spirit] itself begets, usually go
astray also because of the Spirit.  Thus, by this one and the same breath, the
fire blazes and is put out."

The finite contemplating the infinite
The stardust male and female still flush with light
From exploding stars, seeding new possibilities, our true progenitors.
So that even God Himself must take note of our passing (in its season),
Such elemental purity of spirit, such shining stock do we hail from.

Thinkers...

Love’s Touch

the first touch was tentative,
the scent tantalizingly different,
the sounds and nuances yet to
be experienced, known, trusted.

she was beautiful, firm, curvaceous,
polished, but not yet refined, not
yet molded by the necessities of
moving in fluid oneness.

time, and practiced repetition,
would embrace them, join them,
meld them into a flawless...

Your aroma
wonderful, aromatic scent
you tease my senses
I'm falling.

Your warmth flowing 
ignites anticipation 
Insatiable cravings
arousing my hunger, my thrist.

Sweet caress
tantalizingly,  mouth watering
deliriously mad sweet ecstasy 
first morning coffee

Geeeeez.... what ya think I meant?...
