Your grin
casts bright blades
across a blackened sky.
Where have you come from,
you warm sovereign sun?
As cold as my heart is
For a moment I felt heat around it
Could it be he managed to morph me
To something I never dreamt to be
Something sweet, something weak
Something I fear to, on the mirror meet.
Was it the hug so warm to me
That it balanced my homeostasis.
Was it the kiss so passionate
That he began by caressing my cheek
Perhaps when he put on mine his lips
When he slowly, soothingly pleased
My rarely touched skin
I began to have emotions, feelings.
Sudden joy and pain and love and hate trips
Oh dang! What had I done?
Now I look back and beg
To go back in time and rectify
What did not go according to plan
To the me that never cared
To myself which was ne'er fair
To that evil and ugly monster'ess
To as cold as my heart ...was
By Neptune
you
that glowing moonshine
parallel to your reflection
cheerless
but
antic
whispering : unofficially nineteen never
we chase perceptively astounding normalcy
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • September 14–20, 2026)
As I sit here remembering the day we first met
You filled my heart with happiness I won’t forget
A beautiful smile that brightens up my day
Eyes that shine like diamonds under a moonlit sky
Little did I know you were broken inside
As all I wanted was to be by your side
A caring heart for all to see
Hope there’s enough room in there for me
Give me your heart so I can caress
As making you happy is what I do best
I want to hold you in my arms
To protect you from other people’s harm
Time and time others have been mean
As they don’t know how to treat you like a queen
As my love for you keeps getting strong
I look at you and hope nothing will go wrong
I have been hurt many times before
But being with you is all I ask for
My Sweet Girl
Giddy baby, giggles and dimples,
hardly ever cried
Except when time for Mommy’s awaking,
With patient eyes she spied.
Humming with gurgling baby sounds,
Hair wispy softly curled,
Watching down the hall to catch me,
By precious, my sweet girl.
Quietly at play all the while,
two fingers in her mouth,
By chance If hearing my door open,
Only then she cried aloud.
If I could skip across the hall,
Bathroom just across from my room,
It must be done without a sound
I would quickly zoom.
But if she saw me my sweet girl,
would loudly make it known
Cries interpreted “Aha! I see you!
Your cover has now been blown!”
And maybe,
After we perish,
We will finally collide
Not bound by destiny,
But rather by the specks of dirt we're buried beneath.
They say,
Togetherness is contagious,
But Infirmity never claimed me
For our flesh had remained strangers to one another.
We never shaped the lives we dreamt of.
We forgot to be while becoming.
Yet,
In the core of the earth,
somehow, we find each other,
Tangled in the asthenosphere.
it's the only thing we share;
Death, dirt, and desire.
We were never each other's in life,
Yet the earth made us one in death.
‘Tis a pity
if a wee ditty
is not clever or witty
Call on Miss Pretty

******************
I filled the night’s chalice with knots of desire,
we dance through the darkness, a duet of fire.
It rains red roses, riots of love ignite,
the midnight stars groove to our souls’ delight.
Let’s share our ardor with the moon’s soft beams,
hands joined, lives twined, eternal as our dreams.
Doc, knows more or less everything
Grumpy, always sour as a citrus fruit
Happy, an absolutely lovely personality
Sleepy, suffers from Idiopathic Hypersomnia
Bashful, a blushing sunrise of purest rays
Sneezy, scratches nose and sneezes constantly
Dopey, don't greet him with a cold shoulder
When the brain's befuddled
gone astray
the mind's a muddle
lost my way
then's when I could use
a cuddle
to pick me up
set me straight
get me going
yet not too late
see me through
somehow
and if it's all the same to you
I could do with one right now
Emily (part 2.2)
From the outreach of my hand
I can feel you
From my eyes I want to
Bewitch you
From look in my eye I want you
Only because I fell
In love with you
From the shore of the Atlantic
To shore of Lake Erie
I row a boat to get you
Take you in my arms
Kiss you until you cry out
Love me
The sky opens up with the sun
It time for us to have some fun
Walking the beach
Snuggles under cover
Swimming nude together
Living a loving life
Got you under my skin
You let me in
Every so softly I sung
From East Coast to the west Coast
My find will outdo the rest
She has beauty from out and in
Love the feeling of her skin
We kiss and hug and love
she is my lady
Emily
You're such a beautiful woman
You're truly one of a kind
I always think about you
You're forever on my mind
You consume all my thoughts
Even those while I'm asleep
This is the reason I know
You're the one I meant to keep
Maybe you were a gift to me
A gift from God up above
To show me how to live
And to teach me how to love
I'm certain you're an angel
For me it's plain to see
You are the greatest thing
It has ever happened to me
Legato she knows me
To which both the sky
and earth shall make
The day beautiful for
her arrival.
Remembering to put
Garlic oil in the repellent
And to add garlic to the
Cheesy spread.
A perfection is what they
we're aiming for.

To make decadent chocolate truffles infused with truffle oil
, heat 1 cup of heavy cream plus a pinch of cayeene pepper
until hot, pour it over
1 pound of chopped dark chocolate, 1/4 cup of chopped black walnuts
and let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth, mix in 2 teaspoons of
white or black truffle oil, chill the ganache until firm,
roll into balls, and dust with cocoa powder
When she winks and gives me that smirk
It opens a labyrinth where my pleasure lurks.
I walk inside her eyes so kind
Into a garden of madness so divine.
Grapes that grow freely in the snow
Roses that flourishing in blazing glow.
Berries bustling in thick marl and clay.
Dogwoods that rise from the beach of the bay.
Polar bears juggling wild coconuts.
Dolphins on ice skates preparing to lutz.
Kangaroos pirouetting in ballet shoes.
A shark with a guitar singing the blues.
She cannot view all of the beauty I see
When the girl I covets has eyes for me.
Raised Wine Glass
Cherished continual Love
Kisses to think of
First came attention
Followed by Love Presentation
Romantic distinguished
Name and mine came about
Every heart beating moment
Love in our eyes
Walking hand and hand
Behold, we are still in love
Love in control
Together our threshold
Emotions on action
Still attraction
Loving you more than ever
Our own love island
Secrete and true
Our continuous pursue
Kisses still are wow
Fine wine love never changes
Enchanted exchanges
Now and Forever
Happily Ever After
