Delectably Poems | Examples

Bluebell Dells

Idyllic illicit illusion…

Complicit daydream delusion…

Explicit panoply profusion…

Other worldly garlanded gems..

Purring poetic…balletic..stirring kinetic aesthetic..

Absurdly drop atop delicious stems..

Heavenly blue hue...serenity’s serendipitous shade..

Or purple patch so plush…fairies blamelessly blush..

Bucolic blossom hush... mother nature's made..

Garnishing..varnishing.. intricate forest floor laid..

Magical mist…delicate..sumptuously sprayed... 

Trysts persist…unctuously dappled glade..

How can you resist..not be swayed?

Flagrantly decadently displayed. 

Fragrantly delectably conveyed...

Casts seasonal smorgasbord spells..

Marvel at the mythical majesty..

Spring’s cocooned woven tapestry..

Festooned filigree of bluebell dells

Antelope graze the savanna,
Without a care in the world,
For literal lack of imagination. 
Languishing in a morning moment,
The herd simply enjoys its munching.

Something else wafts on air,
Some chemosignal delectably taboo.
Sweat beads trickle down his temples.
Savanna creatures pay no heed,
While mysterious molecules send and prime.

Stress triggers a downward spiral,
Hit as if hunted, not the hunter.
Amygdala on overdrive, panting,
Heart pumping to limbic arrhythmia.
Such dark surreal safari is unexpected.

Predator feared is no leopard, no cheetah.
May as well be his reflection in the mirror.
Elusive yet eventual, relentless - inevitable.
Calm now, as I elicit the parasympathetic.
I am a safe sacred space where you have come to rest.

Painting Dragons In One Stroke

“Painting Dragons in One Stroke” 


Beware of angels 
with big guns
falling for you 
they lose their wings
it’s like clipping nails 

they grow back again
eventually

the sun shine comes out to play
the rain springs a well 
in the heart good for dipping
sharp fountain pens bloodied
swords brush a new page

alternately pressing 
strong and lightly 
against the canvas of you
triumphantly sheer 
silky as feathers 

delectably drawn, 
in perilous 
Rapture Blue
delicately tasted 
as in a ceremony

novelly naked
addressed and undressed
against the glass wall
your true vulnerability 
embraced and seen through

ippitsuryu
painting dragons in one stroke

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

I met a young woman in Albuquerque
With reputation you could say was murky
I did not mind
For I did find
Her bedroom moves were delectably quirky

Premium MemberSignature Scent

Come to a place of enlivening comfort.
In this exotic garden, lift your lungs. 
Vanilla beans dangle from the vining orchid. 
A likeness of birthday cake baking
awakens adrenaline, 
as exciting and familiar as friends,
as smooth and creamy as silk.
Rustle sandalwood leaves between your hands.
Explore the bark's core, richness in depth. 
Breathe in a fresh, earthy, woody fragrance
like a hug from mother nature.
Lie down upon a pillow of lemongrass,
delectably relaxing in uplifting whiffs,
flowing tresses of citrus refreshment.
Let geranium leaves rain upon your face, 
brushes of femininity gently tickling, 
sweet and akin to rose's aroma.
As essential oils harmonize,
inhale the fragrance of my skin 
as pheromones rise for you.

Premium MemberThe Fourth Kingdom

“Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie, face
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!”
“Address To A Haggis”, Robert Burns, 1786.
(Keeper o’er the Fourth Kingdom)

Robert, Robert, Fourth Kingdom
Gate Keeper.
No Telestial glory
Befits the poet deeper!

Wherefore is thy legacy
Robert Burns, regretfully
Wherefore is thy Haggis?
Thy Puddin’ flees before thee.

Thy Hippopotami give birth
Purple, purple, such deliver
The royal eggplant hatchling
That multiplies the giver!

Celestial porridge is thy claim
As such befits thy story
But no resplendent poet name
Perpetuates thy glory

Terrestial kingdoms blissfully
Reject that higher leaven
But thou hast won, delectably
That Kingdom Fourth of Heaven!

Your Kisses

yearning for the soft touches
of your lips brushing against mine
under the lambency of this moon
reigning down on me this evening

kaleidoscope of january splashes
iridescence that reflects back
shimmers of starry eyed beams
secretly awakening the scope of dreams
enticing me to delectably crave
sweet kisses from your lips

Premium MemberMingling Majesty


Mesmerizing magnetism, mere mingling perfection;
melodic, magical murmurs melt like molten sweet confection.
Pleasing, playful, palpable perfection in pure pleasures; 
teasing, tasting, tantalizing... thrilling, tangible treasures. 

Delectably delightful, deliriously drenched desire;
effectual expression electrifyingly fuels the fire.
Fidgety, frolicking fingers flee to frame affection’s face;
feverous fascination fused with everlasting grace.

I Miss

I miss - The tantalizingly teasing flicker of my thick tongue;
As over your gorgeously lovely contours, I travel around.
I miss - Savouring the thrilling chill of your breath-taking temperature;
As I, in detail, passionately traverse your every beautiful feature.
I miss - Pleasingly tasting you: my delightful, delectably delicious treat;
From top to bottom; every satisfying morsel I would surely eat.
I miss - My lips searching and tongue following in a hastily desperate chase;
Both hungrily slurping – not a tiny bit of you would I waste,
I miss – The alluring savour of your delightfulness makes my body tremble;
Thoughts of you melting in my arms, makes my aching heart crumble.
I miss – The chemistry: synchronised motion and scintillating passion;
Lavishly devouring all of you to my; if not, mutual satisfaction.
I miss – This sensual bliss, another opportunity I would not postpone;
Splendid, tongue-teasing manoeuvres: assaulting an ice-cream cone.
                                                                          End

Chicago blizzard
cheeks hardened by sheer cold of it
her hot pink coat warms up winter’s view delectably
Enticing crazies sneaky-peek-viewing her daringly underneath prying wives eyes

Premium MemberSeduction

Small talk
Body Talk
Flirtatious glances
Beguiling smiles
Warm electricity
Passion tingling
Eyes that tease
Torment and tantalize
Desire on every breath
On every quiver of the lip
Rhythm of bodies craving
That erotic embrace
The delectably sublime
Act of seduction

Premium MemberThe Life of a Cat

Cat sticks up her nose,
Parades  puffed up,
Completely important

Aloof, 
Haughty,
Unaware of anyone else.

She has needs of her own,
And they are all-important.
Groomed to be queen, 

She
Is condescending,
and delectably cruel,
Tenderly ignoring her subjects

Prideful of the rabbit's remains
she lovingly decapitated a few 
minutes ago and left on the door
step of her unknown barefoot
servant, who is about to scream.

Premium MemberJovial, Unified, Happy Go Lucky Souls

All was well in the kingdom until squirrely
Burlesque queens with raunchy, yet
Candid sense of humors and delectably
Delightful appetites of various natures began
Eliminating unappreciative uptight relatives and fair weather 
Friends who could not empathize and did not care about their show.
Gearing up to annihilate the competition with laughs and giggles, and
Heroically re-build unearned, sullied community-given 
Images into what they’ve always believed to be truth-telling, these
Jovial, unified,
Kindred, happy-go lucky souls were soon
Laughing their shoes off with crazed relief and corrupting
My own self-assured Uncle
Nathan who at 19, 
Often
Portrayed uptight
Queen Viviana, in his weekly drag queen side show,
Respectfully and with love, and a smidge of irreverence.
So let this be a lesson to Drag Queens
To whom we owe respect.
Under no circumstances should Queen
Viviana’s
Wayward Son,
Xisus, be allowed to wear
Yellow tights, garter belt or dress.  Not that 
Zanier things have not happened in the palace.

Premium MemberAnnual Christmas Pageant

poinsettias scattered all about
it’s a hoopla at the community centre
kids of all ages gathered to see Santa
the sheer excitement and anticipation
a rumbling roar with electricity in the air

he’s on his way but it's a long wait
people make the most of time
getting up on the stage
with a dance a song or a skit
dressed up in our sunday best
suit or dress with fancy shoes

what a sight as you entered the hall
majestic tree at least twelve feet tall
decorated with colored lights and balls
popcorn garland all around
angel starring high on top

no difference through the decades
every kid’s dream come true
to meet Santa face to face
and especially delectably delicious
to whisper in Santa’s ear
all our innermost wishes

Premium MemberHeaven

Is heaven a place where flowers always bloom?
Where fruit is delectably sweet,
And birds flitter in a celestial ballroom?

Is heaven a jewel crested mountain,
With silvery wispy clouds,
Raining ambrosial nectar,
From a majestic crystal fountain?

Is heaven the sounds of,
Beethoven, Brahms and Nat King Cole,
Or, is heaven not a thing,
But a aspiration that lives in the,
Chasm of one’s soul?
