Tickling the ivories
In my youth I dreamt of playing the piano
filling the nights with romance and melodies
orchestrating sound and beauty
Reading and interpreting sheet music while
compressing innermost feelings into sequences of notes
translated in the language best understood by the heart
Swirling to the beat of rhythmic grace
rich with aphrodisiac chemistry
intoxicating mesmerizing beguiling
I’ve dreamt so long of pleasuring the night

Beachfront property
mesmerized by nature’s pendulum
the rhythmic motion of the tides
I listen to the splash of waves
unfurl against the seashore
the ever undulating flow of waves
the hypnotizing sway of water
it’s the perfect appetizer before
enjoying every sunset as it falls

Hypnotic verse
There's no horizon left,
I was awake and slept.—
Moon was aligned with
Stars and my own myth.
Night reveals the intense love,
Which were kept hidden in light.—
Dreams felt like a curse,
Turns to a hypnotic verse:
"Flow of flowers from fay,
Pink red leaves and a rose,
Brown iris like branches,
Cry and rare crystal flow.—
Die while picturing the dreams,
Early mornings are

beckoning
Neon’s radioactive glow in a window,
offers the cheap promise of pleasure.
Like a hypnotic, fluorescent serpent,
It flashes, blinks and winks - “Welcome”
It fairly slithers on rain-slicked boulevards,
it warms like moonlight on cold unfriendly nights,
It signals cool, ready fun in the summertime.
We dress our vices in silky, pastel colors,
gamblers choices of Disney flavored whiskies.
It’s the soft, velvet

Hypnotic Love Attack
My head is swirling all around
My feet are whirling off the ground
My arms are open, never closed
Chills run from hair to my toes
My eyes seeing the first time
I'm hearing sweet love bell chimes
My legs are weak and wobbly
What are you doing to me
My whole bodies out of whack
From this secret love attack
My senses I

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
Distort of sounds strum his bow —sawed heart rhythms,
mischievous fool impels my mind's rapt boredom.
The devil's finger warns and pivots, sedates,
adrift among alleged stolen dreamscapes.
The jester sleeps all day, perplexed I awake.

Hibiscus Hypnotic
Yellow and pink hued
ruffled petal elegance
Magnetic beauty
drawing crowds in days so long
Simmering sunshine shadows
Time flees chase of life
around the corner of blooms
where music's playing
Blue skies don clouds of the hour
in this summer of rare sights

Hypnotic Stupor
Packets of attention,
each a hypnotic trance,
is but egoic bondage,
which by feeble effort
we so try to assuage.
Packets of attention,
signals but our stupor,
bemused by illusion,
we’re a dead man walking,
living in delusion.
Packets of attention,
require to be rested,
for they block divine grace,
garnered in staid stillness,
that vibrant bliss beats trace.
Packets of attention,
if they be void centric,
have no hold over us,
since

Entranced
wavelets wavering to and fro
lapping and caressing the coast
on and on the flow undulates its curves
till the sound transcends
their rhythmic motion calming
easing a solitude in turmoil
in soothing idyllic hypnosis

Blue
Once thought a merely mundane matter,
Confronted by daily matters,
Until a sudden overcast
Shining,
A soft blue hue reflecting unto the walls,
Originating from the surface.
Entranced and in utter awe,
I could fall asleep,
In your encompassing blanket
Of pure hypnotic coolness.

her hypnotic harp
angelic prettiness
soothing broken hearts
heard by empaths
recognized instantly
a home reminder
music of the stars
awakening their souls
straight from heavens gate

Hypnotic
Huddled within the ocean’s liquid cocoon
I slowly sway ‘tween heaven and earth
lulled by twinkling, windswept ripples
mesmerized by swells of mosaic shapes
as gentle waves pulsate and surround
I sit entranced, captivated by the hypnotic sea.
