Entrancing Poems | Examples

back to the stars

I’d like to share this as a challenge to any who would like to try, as it can be read as a RHYME in five ways: #1 - left-to-right, top-to-bottom; #2 - right-to-left, bottom-to-top; #3 - left-to-right, bottom-to-top; #4 - alternating right-to-left, then left-to-right from top-down; #5 - alternating the same way from bottom-up.

!abeam there float
          bright shiny stars
               gleam and bloat
     Venus with Mars

dancing forever
          they are eternal
               entrancing, clever
     brilliant and vernal

night is yawning
          voided and dark
               bright day dawning
     flames to spark

soon close eyes
          sleep to scheme
               moon with skies
     blink and dream!






( This is a lullaby inspired by Eugene Field’s “Wynken, Blynken and Nod” )

Worship

The sodium street lights
Your few striped freckles
The makeshift tattoo on my palm
A couple? Never. It's always been a triple or even a single at best,
A circle of medics healing medics.
This distortion is fine
It's a revolution of entrancing revolts.

Relics ignite for every star in the ground,
Scattered upon my brain.
To my pressed, dear, deadest flowers...
You keep leaving me out!
Crystalise for me, so I can die again for you.

My precious opalite,
Your purity is a miracle.
My beloved flaked obsidian,
Your impurity is a fiasco.
Both are much to be worshipped.
But now what am I to you>
The myriad, or the clone?

You keep me enshrined.
You rekindle yourself.
You say the circle is perfect, but it ends 4 corners behind.
I guess I'm only history.

Set me alight

If you dare.

envious radiance

envious, I am
of the entrancing one,
drawing your dedication,
bound by an enduring bond.
for I am merely
a fleeting pleasure,
absorbing unwanted air,
observing from afar--
a bright, untouched smile
radiating past my shoulder.

Undulating Worm

     undulating worm

       pinkish fat coils entrancing

          ~ raindrops enhancing

Barbados Beach

aqua and sky blues 
enchanting, entrancing hues…
a Barbados beach 
soothes, purifies and cleanses -
a salve for soul and senses

My Gift To You

“True love is the gift God has given to man alone beneath 
the heaven” – Walter Scott



You’re a precious gift of gorgeous gem God has given me, 
the celestial glimmer of divine treasure in you I always see.

I express heartfelt humble gratitude to Him in return,
while I give you the exquisite gift I cherish, for it’s my turn.

I make my adoring heart as alluring as a springtime rose,    
lay on your entrancing eyes as a dream when they close.

I make my enticing smile as sparkling as opalescent dew,
adorn your mind’s meadow each morn with sunburst hue.

My ardent love for you is as vibrant as my poem’s rhyme, 
on its melodic wave I’ll keep you afloat till the end of my time.

Among the Stars

Entrancing as a siren's call
Echoes lingering from the void
Though massive here they seem so small
The sight of which makes me overjoyed

Stars within the late night sky
Serenity unlike any other
Hoping to join them when I die
My place alongside my starmother

For now my home is midnight hours
The darkness providing endless bliss
Sheltering from the light so sour
My latibule is a starry abyss

one enchanted evening

the stars linger amidst candlelight
saxophone serenades melting inhibitions
charming entrancing hypnotizing
beyond human breaking point
exploiting weakness in a haze of madness
bewitched possessed
until there is no return

Mind Of The Heart

“feeling not thinking, soul with love linking ~       
we attained God consciousness unblinking”


In the awareness anchorage of the mundane mind, 
detached from the ephemeral principled roots
by the dislodging drive of sequential dreary desires,
untamed instincts envelope the psychic realm.

As the needle of perception compass breaks down,
the vortex of emotions drags the reflective mind
into the transitory tide of the entrancing times,
the inner voice of conscience echoes unheard.

The embodiment of unique sensual existence, 
life is the construct of esoteric sublime elements, 
suffused supremely with heavenly essence of love
within the benevolent sanctum of the harmonic heart. 

Beneath the serene surface of fond feelings,
the benign mind transitorily builds sensory images 
on the fleeting screen of empathic mindfulness
that persists untransformed to portray affable emotion. 

Under the multi-layered receptive stratum of awareness,
soul resides at the inner meditative depth of feeling,
where godly consciousness is the light of eternal truth,
reflecting enduringly the aura of bliss with divine glow.

Valentine Preview

It's Valentine’s
think hearts and
roses she said --

roses she prefers
so like herself

her own gracefulness
enticing petal scent -- 

the blossoms she adores -- 

think of rapturous nights
and Roman Candle dawns
such passion as hers never
seemed to need break -- 
 
entrancing patterns of fine drape 
silk dappled with sunlight
beams of arousing romantic kneading 
a second heedless amorous skin duplicating
transposing quixotic embroideries 
of desire and forever -- 
like Salome she revealed all of her 
beguiling fond nakedness
making instant jello of
my rational mind -- I will never
forget...vowed we would never forget!

Damn, where was that?

and who the hell was
I with?

Oh to be young and divinely foolish again!

Curbed Eye Locking

Lost in your eyes.
Dark and entrancing they are.
In their depths, secrets lie.
They almost give predatory vibes.
How you look at me.
Lost in your eyes, I don't know how.
Oo they're smiling!
With a gaze that pierces through me.
Igniting a fire, igniting a spark.
Frozen in the moment.
Lost in your eyes, against my will.

she never settled

Alluring, bewitching, captivating, Myra the maid
Engaging, entrancing, enchanting, to the young blade
Her mannerisms and behaviors are most delightful
Words of charming advice, empathetic, and insightful

He brought her home to meet his overbearing mama
She slipped out a side door and rode home on a llama
Confident she could do better than this
A glorious woman who remained forever a miss

All of her life pursued by eager suiters day and night
Never settling, retaining herself, they could not extinguish her light

In the Heat of Passion

In the silence of autumn’s wonder, dancing
Playing soft against my soul, unspoken light
Writing poetry and peace in my heart, entrancing
Birthed by stars and moon, who hold such insight
Aware that every breath describes joy romancing
Feelings warm and wild, pouring out hope to write.

The Entranced Moment

A kiss that's so passionate
So deep
When one knows every word of what is wanted when we speak 
In the entrancing moment when our eyes meet 
My knees so weak

My Balloon to the Moon

 I flew to the moon holding my balloon
Heard angels singing in heavenly tune
I watched fairies dancing
Which was most entrancing
It was magic made in the stars and moon.

Soon my heart went plop, my ballon had popped
I shook all over, was completely shocked
Had the biggest surprise
Stood there before my eyes
Was mother wearing her favourite frock.
