The closest arm strikes;
It injures with desolation
Instead of solacing:
Broken consolation.
The treasured lip bites;
It tears to desecration
Instead of kissing:
Shattered affection.
The chosen heart burns;
It sears to extermination
Instead of embracing:
Loveless affectation.

Bounteous bosom,
In cool dazzling rime,
One posy poem in a ring
Breath freely my dear friend
Read the poem and go waddling
Here, some sweet ziziphus spina christi
From a wild natural tender tree,
For you and some to the kid
Ripe fresh from its mama
You who found first
Ere all the jewel

Love is the splendour that mystifies me
A rainbow in the sky colours my mind
Rapture bosom in high-spirited glee
Blind by passion, beloved we enshrined
Romance, Zephyr on a hot humid day
Dawn of spring after each winter season
As butterflies draw toward flowers way
Lovers seek closeness for any reason
Amor, a warm bright light within our heart
Set ablaze or calmed at our partner’s touch
Twin flames share deeper connections by heart
True love grows yet stronger with time as such
Two souls entwine kin to fine tapestry
Soul mates share eternal love happily

By sudden press of her hand

There was a young woman named Gale.
Everyone called her a narwhale.
She was big and wide,
and brimming with pride
for her bosom was exceedingly swell.

This poem is a metaphor.
The crying tires,
the shattered glass,
it all happened,
so very fast.
His life it flashed,
before his eyes,
his life always swaddled,
in set ups and lies.
No direction,
for the good,
he just wanted a life,
that was nurturing and true.
The boys confused mind,
was searching for love,
It was something he,
could never find.
She always loved him,
so she claimed,
everyone else,
was always to blame.
His friends became,
his blood brother's,
they nurtured him,
like no others.
His voice screamed out,
God heard his pain,
in that moment,
he called on his name.
Now he sleeps,
bent on their whispers,
that God is good,
and his true love delivers.
After it's over,
and after it's done,
how she then claims,
her suffering son!
I'll run to you,
when I see you again,
and tell you that I love you,
like I did back then.
I'll never forget,
that cold winter's day,
you told me you wished,
with me you could stay.
Your spirit remains,
I've seen you visit,
I answered the door,
and blew you kisses.

Outgo way ahead
Than income if stirs man’s head,
She in a shrunk blouse,
Although from a cultured house,
Oh looks a bit lowly bred.

by her bosom lay beside
a new birth baby
nurturing sucking exhuming life's liquid
Eve came out of Adam's chest
humanities first nourishment
coming from mother's breast

We have two different bodies but one single mind
You always help me out when I act so blind
A friend like you is impossible to find
And our friendship is one for a kind

Pay back every blush ye borrowed,
What use fluffing a field furrowed?
Paint life with paints your own,
Proud, on your own renown,
Let not the joy in life corrode.
If joy follows past pain,
An added buoy doth gain,
And all the more feels if mellowed.

Listening to the loud wild commotion
mom runs on to
the front porch
shock to

Her

back from the
service; stretches
her arms and smothers him in her bosom.

Every day I lose a part of myself,
Because it's too open.
Love in my heart keeping
I don't think I need protection.
I don't carry a stone in my bosom,
That's why I'm so vulnerable.
Every word hurts me,
Reproach for what I am.
I walk on the thin edge of life,
Where words play an important role,
Gentle souls are very capricious,
And they put salt on my wounds.
Sometimes I make mistakes,
But not because I was blind.
Our memories are shaky,
And people - a ruthless crowd.
I live for a happy moment
And I still reach for kindness,
I am, as before, an open book,
Except the pages aren't the same anymore.

two good longtime bosom buddies
puerile teasing games they play
they're inseparable toddies
they're different from night and day
puerile teasing games they play
ooh, ooh, eee, eee, aah, aah
they're different from night and day
arf, arf , dog object to its tah...
ooh, ooh, eee, eee, aah, aah
high-speed monkey pulls his friends tail
arf, arf , dog object to its tah…
feuds erupt, and calm still prevail
high-speed monkey pulls his friends tail
they're inseparable toddies
feuds erupt, and calm still prevail
two good longtime bosom buddies
