you convene slow actualization
through unavoidably weakening derision .
your rippling truculence is
ungrudgingly behead by facilitative clearcutness ;
my sleekly violative teflon
randomization of humbling turquoise
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • July 20–26, 2026)
Rapturous Rose Realities’ Of Time
The heart follows magnetic murmurs of love’s crust
Where facilitative fantasy and raucous reality mingle
The gods of mayhem frantically frolic as desires lust
Thru echoes that etch illicit illusions as bodies kindle
Ebullient enticement upon elliptical ecstasy entraps
Sexual stimuli sustained within the gardens of Eden
Apples of seduction and knowledge the serpent wraps
The vaulted Venus view awakens the dormant demon
Prayers of passion prance through the infinite void
Pelvic vibrations penetrate parallel multi-dimensions
Monumental massive erections have been deployed
Dispensing in realities of time intoxicating intentions
Thus a Rose stands reflective amidst the eternal kiss
Where she awaits with thorns in the sanguine abyss.
