I hadn't seen you for a year or more
We walked along the country ways
The grass was long and dry, unhewn
The day was warm, the day was cool
As clouds traversed the naked sky
I was trying to enamour myself to you
But couldn't seem to find the right time
How deadly to be just friends
And not really know why
Inertia springs to mind
But then you said, "Oh, look!"
"What?" I said.
"There, down there," you whispered this time.
You pointed to a clump of grass
Much like any other
I moved over and crouched lower
"I can't see anything."
"Are you blind?"
You parted the grass and there
The size of a round coin
Was a harvest mouse.
Oblivious to us it seemed
Its trembling whiskers
Receiving messages from a tiny radio
Its reddish body so fine and fragile
Too soft to touch.
So I have that memory of you
And realise now
Why I miss you so much.

it’s just another day
yet the air scents different today.
am not hurt
yet i feel my moist eye lashes.
is it your absence?
or the truth i know?
the truth that things are falling apart
the truth that you can’t understand me
the truth that there is no me without thee
but...
i know you feel it,
you feel the soft grime on the path of enamour
the path that i’d paved for us to walk together.
even this day the cupids whisper in my ear
the melodious sound of your beating heart.
how do I tell you my musings
for the fear of separation hovers over me.
this epoch of time, unmoving
i keep quiet and move along with you,
silently.

Catch tugs towards their berth
Little yacht traipses triangular trail
Cottage clasping slope admires bay
Fisherman’s wife swells, eon enamour
For his boomerang voyage, she brings
Tomato rocket fishpaste pita bread
Thermos of jasmine tea, to picnic
Basket bemuses bee buzz blooms
Manna powder release from each
Pink proclamation jesters jostle
Solargold galaxies galavant, plentiful
Dianthus dilate, lemon balm overlap
Pale gravel path merges blonde sand
Their footsteps converge, bone beige
Neck nuzzle murmurs leather bound
Sunstrike bounces blind broadwater
Diminished senses replenish focus
Duty for union, find food free of market
Encapsulated in cove of commitment
Genmaicha gratitude values volume

Had chasing salacious not sparked her curious
Outcast student wouldn’t have bothered to goad
Beguile fellow fifteen year old, sordid suggested
Accompany her on dirty double date, get stoned
Recklessly rush into raunchy actions, clueless
Temptation harvests travesty, tender suspended
Hidden in high laughing heart, slick chimera pelt
Adrenaline aces enamour or war around the corner
Ready to frolic,fight, backpacks bulge with bravado
Lurid drunk promenade, concrete jungle hunt fauna
Onyx drawn eyes harden dark, debauchery dealt
Transfers opioids, rapid ricochet carries cruel cargo

Sea alongside where they are, where they go
Undercurrent of cover, keep upset under wraps
Run a watertight routine within swim safe zone
Emit words washing white magic swell flat relax
Pervade far lands, exotic tainted by Australia
Leisure takers pack high hopes among low funds
Enamour for contrast demands modes familiar
Affluent rabid urgency, serene temples shunned
Swum lagoon lounging, legs glossy mahogany
Upscaled servers strive for measly tourist custom
Resort afforded sirens their thriving economy
Ethos of plentiful offering for Gods stay trusting

Best foot forward, a winning smile
Such roles we oft enact
Vibrant, childlike heart, free from guile
Has no need for such tact
Shed off ego armour
Each soul our paramour
Since bliss throbs enamour
Let’s move onward
Best foot forward

An enamouring belle with full of glamour
A tantalizing temptress with all fervour
An enchanting smile with each advance
A seductive sign of love-ful romance
Flooded with all beauty quotient
I am just aghast and reticent
As the charming woman walks
Like a cascade tinkles and talks
An enormous and lovely lady
Oozing with a great melody
Such a magnificent fairy true
Before me has come out of blue
An angelic grace so gracious
A magnetic tantrum so precious
A delectable damsel flaunts an aura
Of course, of Lord Venus and flora..!

An iconic figurine like flora
Fabulously carved in God’s leisure

Glittering glimmer with gorgeous glare

Mutal Divine Love
When your hot breath
passes through warmth of my breath
an amazing heat is born
from the burning volcano of love
that generates a new energy for two hearts
to board a ship of love-dreams
When my thirsty eyes
peep into your eyes flashing in love
it sounds as if the two hearts
in the dark and blue sea of sky
were restless and impatient
to get lost into the arms of each other
When your heartbeats
touch my bewildered heartbeats smilingly
and close its sensuous and blushing eyes
it seems as if two souls
were throbbing for each other
from time immemorial
When my carnal lips
suck the sweet nectar of your pink lips
and enamour each other
for making endless love
as if the earth and the sky on the horizon
were eager to kiss each other
When my delicate fingers
touch your golden curly hair
that whisper to the prankish air
it seems as if two lovers
in the erotic moonlit night
were enjoying deep dives of love

Passions de l’amour vrai
The texture of your caresses, soft like an egret’s plumes
When you touch me, my soul’s sheathed longing ruptures
Your fragrance engrossing adorns scents of jasmine perfumes,
Sheltered snugly within your arms, you disrobe my bosom pleasures
Your kisses honeyed, scorch my skin mildly like vernal sunshine
Flames fiery of your desires smelted, consume my agile passions
Like prairie fire I singe, you’re summer’s sensual warmth pristine
My heart’s entranced wholly. Your breaths feel like aphrodisiac portions,
Like leaves lithe in air floating, our bodies glibly levitate
Your crystal eyes, glisten with a luster than sapphire illumine
Our emotions like lovecrests leap, their fervent thirst immaculate
Pure rhapsody erupts, your thrills satiated to mine entwine
Like a balm you salve tempests of my ecstatic enamour,
Toujours commence maintenant, Je vous adore toujours mon amour.

Is she the one
Who makes me forget the world around,
lulling me to ponder about her , profound.
For whose single glimpse my eyes impatiently wait
& when she’s around heart accelerates.
The one whose face I dream about every night,
& long for a rendezvous with every might.
Whose peevish glee ushers in fun,& soothing smiles drive cobwebs of doldrums.
Whose charismatic fragrance drives attention amidst all other implications.
The ultimate emotion I would enamour at this age
forget hunger, thirst ,pain & just think about our marriage
I wish I could expound what I have in her found
I desire to make her queen of my heart
& pray that once together we never have to depart

I’ve an inkling to stutter and stammer
In an effort to subjugate grammar.
For although I love words
I adore the absurd
Punctuated, pauses; tend to, enamour.
