Twas' a mellowing twilight on the end of the day
Where the whispers of dusk benignly sway
when the weary traveler of orange bid adieu
varnishing the sky with amber and blue
As the shadows lengthen and daylight wanes
Couldn't endure enough of what my eye gains
The chaotic screams of the day departed at the dusk
The halcyon prevails with its demandless busk
So ended the beatific nightfall
an enrapturing memory I could forever recall.
Your eyelids flutter,
Like dream,
Into the empty,
and surreal spaces,
The flowers gaze,
With open petals,
To caress your love,
In the enrapturing beauty,
Of sunsets and dawns,
Your eyelids flutter,
With the magic,
And grace,
Of butterfly wings,
And love flows,
Between gazes,
Beyond the hours,
As your eyelids flutter,
Like dream,
Sihouettes gather,
In the gardens,
And love breezes,
From,
Your sweet soul,
To mine,
Flower to warm flower,
Soul to soul,
And infinity blushes,
With our irises,
Your eyelids flutter,
Like dream,
Into the surreal spaces,
And your beauty,
Eclipses the moon,
Like windswept clouds
Reynaldo Casison
The joker fields the first laugh
as satans pantry recalls
all those loud antics
Release is in the eye
A fools errancy prevails
enrapturing your soul
Vacating the easy chair
because I've had my share
Ministers admonish you
watch for celebrity fools
on the TV screens glare
as the moon gazes
looking for any other sphere
Taking a walk by the lovely lake
under the canopy of the sunlight
watching its effect on the water
makes one wish never-ending night
With your loved one hand in hand
thinking only of one’s deep affection
wishing never to let go of your grip
feeling assured this is a pure connection
The night's atmosphere so haunting
making each one’s love to inspire
stillness is so totally enrapturing
a moment you never want to tire
Consider well this providential act
that brought us both to be as one
stand amazed this all happened
by a divine hand, this has done
This is a wonder one has to behold
love fully pictured by this late walk
love so beautifully meant to share
memories that a kiss could not block
(walking hand in hand!)
The other day
as I turned the corner
onto my quiet street
I saw a woman so perfect
she snatched my breath away
as she waited to cross the road.
It was like seeing a movie star
or a beauty queen up close--
my heart ached a bit, I confess,
when I thought, once, a long,
long time ago, I just might
have had a chance....
But now I'm just an old man
driving an old car to an old house.
I drove slowly and could see
her gracefully crossing the street
in my rear-view mirror, much
like a dream fading quickly away...
suddenly, from somewhere far
beyond my mind, I realized
the truth of what I saw: that
it was all stupid illusion--
she was young and beautiful,
I, old and lame, but those were
just markers on the wheel of time.
The wheel would turn,
my body would die, hers would age,
no longer enrapturing men: in a way,
she was already an old woman which
I could not see, nor could I see the
sweet child still playing within her.
When there are no more days left,
our souls will be free of the Wheel
and all the world's illusions will
seem as distant, fading dreams....
Books ooze their goodness
Delighting me the way no TV show could
Enticing me, enrapturing me, loving me
Changing me into a pirate or a murder victim
Mysteries and biographies are my favorite,
Scientology intrigues me and fascinates me.
I do not mean THE scientology.
I mean geology, zoology, biology, and astrology.
I adore poems, short stories, plays, and songs.
Written word power takes up much of my day.
I fall asleep in my chair, lulled into dreamland
In the middle of books which drop on the floor.
Deeply aware that words will live on
Long after we are forgotten, I sit by the window
Expecting something fabulous to pique my interest.
I have never been disappointed.
An assemblage of golden rays adorn a becalmed blue ocean,
glistening as a bright new dawn greets us, reminiscent of your beautiful enlightened eyes when they meet mine.
A plethora of pristine White sand moves deftly between our toes as we traverse hand in hand towards the edge of serene waves, inviting us to enter it's blissful shallow depths.
Nearby a gregarious pat of Flamingos wade delicately, their natural beauty is that of yours,
a joy to behold, a vision of pure love, ecstatic am I the one to embrace it.
Our bodies entwined I caress your beauteous face, gently I stroke your silken hair as you give me your enrapturing eternal smile, I have but one question, "will you take my hand in marriage?"
"Yes".
Didn't you not go to me?
How did I seethe, because an elongation of an entanglement is the alter-alto as the Omega cake..?
So swimmingly
I'm finishing the date,
I'm even allowed to procreate,
say that today as we all wander in the phase,
the glistening light is a connector of the ways...
48 equations away...
One more long lasting stay,
I am trapping the animals and characterizing,
you upped the anti with troubling enrapturing!
You even trampled the past in THE!!!
Sometimes I sweat over the gloat and the capturing,
sometimes I'm the boat that is rafting the very temperament I haven't opportunely been the camp in the.

a chilling wave
crunching melancholy
nostalgic for summer warm heart
shrinking passions of deciduous souls
perennial strain for blending
raking over losses

(A Double Rictameter)
THE SWAN
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
There is a elegant black swan that dominates the scene
A beguiling creature, showing elegance to the extreme
So enrapturing, so magnificent, so pure, so pristine
You use a lifetime in order for this beauty to be seen
She awaits you at the shore where the boatman plies
She senses you, leads you, blindly for she has no eyes
She will beckon to follow, as you lose your earthy ties
She will guide you to the dock where the boatman plies
Earthy ties will dissolve like the fog, when the sun arrives
Take a seat in the dory: final voyage, that no one survives
The boatman quietly propels the dory with ghostly strides
To the left, dark, to the right, bright; dazzling the eyes
The deeds left behind you, will select where you’ll reside
PULSE POINTS
He penetrated my eyes
Speaking of scented petals
As he touched my pulse points
On my wrists, behind my ears
I closed my eyes
He speaks in whispers
Breathing life into my thoughts
Enrapturing my wits
My heart beats from within my head
A steady drum of falling in love
Over and over again
Plunging into my years of marriage
I'm a naked soul
before my husband's
Wandering eyes
Kim Rodrigues (c) 2017
Jesus Christ only begotten of the father
God of very God eternally and true
came to earth to live as the God man
obeying His father living always to do
Displaying the fullest sacrifice of life
showed the deepest expression of love
proved compassion of the fullest heart
such was manifested from God above
No other love has mankind known
of such splendour purity and magnitude
this took Christ to mount Calvary cross
dying for our sins on a cross of wood
This is real love totally divine
come and taste it God does invite
all to come in to His banquet house
sit down there and take a love bite
Feel the juices and the soft texture
engulf within your taste buds aright
nothing can compare with God’s love
beautiful and enrapturing ever so bright
The lighting, it was over-bright
When the Angel of Death took each to his door.
Deadening our senses and enrapturing our sight,
The lighting, it was over-bright.
As we approached death's door on this terrifying twelfth night;
Lives flashing before us like waves to the shore.
The lighting, it was over-bright
When the Angel of Death took each to his door.
In the stillness of the cloudless night
One heart is pounded without mercy
An invisible arrow darted with a light
Enrapturing senses without clemency
