Premium MemberYou Will Always Be My Celebrity

In an equation of love, exponential yet vast/
Still, it can't contain our bond/
Transcending time and past/
You're the star on my Christmas tree, high and bright/
Guiding my darkness with your divine light/
My heart's flame burn for you, a brilliant spark/
You illuminate my world, removing shadows stark/
Each day with you feels like Valentine's Day/
In your presence,

squeezing crimson hues into the void
framing long days that slip into short years,
freckles and dimples waltz across familiar faces,
In the frame, a

ECLIPSE

Come let's dance 
Right in the dark
Making love
Exploring 
The beauty of the dark.

Come see 
How beautiful 
The moon
Bright is the Sun
You're more
Alluring and captivating 

Lady you're amazing 
You mesmerize me
Let's disturb 
The neighbors 
With good love making 
Just like the eclipse 
The Sun and Moon.

The Complex Melody of a Captivating Soul

Pretty cunning how she captivates hearts of many,
Eyes of many, attention of many but acts like a maniac,
One glance of her makes many sleepless, not that she is a queen but a goddess,
Gives out a guffaw of a laughter full of joy,
Popping her eyes out as a sign of amazement
Giving out an incongruous emotion in

Valentines Spirit

“Her smile as captivating as a blooming rose 
her eyes as dating as it shames the bluebells petals of beaus 
It seemed so opposed yet I wanted to foreclose 
She was  the luminescence of my interceptions 
As  a fluorescence, she came to me in my deceptions
Enriching up my conceptions, 
Yet is that all

Premium MemberCaptivating Thoughts

Captivating thoughts are rarely kept secret
Thinking them interesting we pass them on
And, sometimes, to our everlasting regret
Captivating thoughts are rarely kept secret
Telling friends the tidbits we ought to forget
Sometimes drawing from them mutual scorn
Captivating thoughts are rarely kept secret
Thinking them interesting we pass them on.

Premium MemberCaptivating Dreamer

Sitting detached upon her moonlit throne
Yet with the butterflies, birds and flowers,
in blithe hues, she's never, in truth alone.
Mother Nature's pearly in midnight hours,
Lost in vivid dreams of sunshine bowers!
Dark and tranquil is night, under the moon,
And she wears flowers in her hair, in June.
Fragrances from many blooms fill the air, 
as redbirds invade dreams

Premium MemberA Pair of Captivating Eyes

Was it in a dream when I first saw her,
Or was it in the crowded street afar,
Or was it on the beach by the setting sun,
That she, my heart had won?
All I saw then was a pair of eyes
Beautifully set on a wan face
As twinkling stars in the night sky
Or gems on the moon’s diadem

Premium MemberCaptivating Time

He is tired of seeing everyday
the scintillating sun rises and sets,
craves to capture the captivating time 
as a beguiled butterfly flitting away
beyond the halcyon horizon.

So, on daybreak he starts to run,
his butterfly chase has begun
to hold time in control,
decide when the sun will rise and set,
how long the torn heart will dream.

The butterfly flies away
