I breathe love
I breathe love,
not the everyday one that's quick to flee.
Just come close to inhale its sweetness,
and savour its flavours.
Then you will know that emotions can twirl,
not on a dancing floor,
but will sweep you off your feet and fly you like a kite.
Just pull up a chair to share your cheers!
Then your head will swirl.
You'll walk

Flavours
Flavours of desire become potent,
flavours of desire dance on my tongue;
Flavours of desire the taste of your skin;
Flavours of desire are flakes of vanilla,
flavours of desire bite them off supple lips;
Flavours of desire are extremely intense;
Flavours of desire erotic salsa picante,
flavours of desire oy que rico!
Flavours of desire strawberries and cacao;
Flavours of desire I can

Recurrent Ruse
They come to her hungry - hopeful
To be fed facile fantasy, a script he held
Stowed in boyhood through decades
Recessed where sweating shame dwelled
Invisible while he achieved accolades
Gridiron big man outperform boastful
Invited him - initial meeting innocent, ice cream
Daddy intrigued by her earnest licking nimble
Turquoise tip of nose - How is

Mulligatawny - Poetry Soup
Mulligatawny, soup for you,
Uniquely, peppered, seasoned through,
Lots of ingredients, we might use,
Lentils, a mustard seed or two,
Interesting flavours, we might choose,
Garlic, chillies, tamarind too,
Adapting, finding, something new,
Trial and error, tastes good, it's true,
Always learning, that's what we do,
Warming, nourishing, filling too,
North, South, East, West, the whole world through,
Your soulful bowl, of poet's stew.

FLAVOURS OF HELL
Sin of the old I have commited
I wonder if I have been punished,
this sure doesn't feel like heaven
I must breathe the ashes that burn in hell,
for the devil's tongue, the whispers of evil I hear each day
Is it my own that has sinned with the world, or was it the world just as harsh as

Feel how life flows
As pulse now shows
Know in deep heart
How peace funds art
Start where you see
What yet may be
Free as a fling
Watch voice now sing
Bring tears of joy
As fate frames ploy
Toy with sure proof
The path of truth
Groove with fine say
Warm touch that plays
Day flavours much
As highlights touch
Such is the match
Of sacred sketch
Etch in crisp poise

Fantasies' Favours and Flavours
Feel the pulse of the spouse in a house
You thought you knew
Until your mouth turned into the louse
You became as fantasies ate you up anew.
Guilt on stilts divorced
Sombre sentiments in the mind
Imbued with dark thoughts you sourced
From reveries that in your house drove you blind.
To the hilt you moved the feet
Grown sore as you bore

Words sculpt form
Apt fine norms
Joy feels full
Watch touch spool
Words grab rhymes
Fine touch chimes
Hope greets call
Sweet in gall
Words now dash
In grand flash
Faith keeps zest
Heart knows best
Words can touch
More than much
Start with cheer
Live love here
Words go round
Prize what's found
Wait a while
Watch soul style
Words now light
Sparks you sight
A still poise
Greets each choice
Words now stream
Glimpse and dream

Eleven Flavours On a Table
A seam in a sock is a whistling clock. Wheelbarrow hours like a treading of grapes for wine. But swamped with the rest of the waters, teas, coffees and creams can bring a mingle of music to a break. But breaks are not breaking nor brave really for the breaks are merely for beakers and

Spangled Flavours
Way back in my childhood days
used to love real favourite sweet
they were hard boiled fruit flavours
real refreshing they were to eat
Mars Limited in UK made them
having many flavours totally nine
strawberry, orange lemon naming a few
but my favourite was simply lime
They had a real good tasty bite
but sucking them made them last
so the flavour lasted real

Grooming grand glee
Spread savvy spice
Note nurture nice
Play profound ploys
Taste thrilling toys

Love lively lines
Face feelings fine
Treasure true times

The new year speaks in humble tones,
Joy comes to tweak but not alone.
Happy lives here as joy transcends,
Go with good cheer as work attends.
Do what you will to stay the course,
Feel how you feel yet know your cause.
There comes a time when all thoughts rhyme,
No voice can mime true peace that chimes.
Seek to be still

Choice paves the way for easy fest,
Heed waves of change that call on you;
Ask love to stay with sparkling zest,
Note new and strange in scenes that cue;
Give cheer a run to take you far,
Explore the thrills of mystery.
Feel gist of pun with wit on par,
Light ever fills fond ecstasy.
