Queen

Even though she knows I love her
I cannot tell her and she knows why
It's not because I'm shy

But, I look in her eyes
and they are oceans
every blink a wave 
that washes to the shore

Her hair Autumn leaves on trees
yellow, red, and auburn rolling down
to the mountians valleys
that rest on her shoulders

Her body, slinder and yet 
in perfect places it curves in
then curves out, then curves back in
as a womans body should

Her walk, mesmerizing

Her essence is as such
like when she leaves her seat
her warmth remains
her soft perfume
leaves one breath of sweet air
Her memory, a face that looks at me
and speeks without words

"She speeks yet she say's nothing.
What of that?"

Premium Member Heart Arresting Beauty

Discretion tells me I should turn my eyes away,
but with mouth agape I cannot help but gaze 
upon the heart arresting beauty now before me.
Why does she not shy away or attempt to conceal
the ravishing bouquet of her all from my stare?
How could she not notice me just standing there?
Does she not see me or does she simply not care?

She's a vision sightless eyes would yearn to see,
a goddess beyond the scope of man's conception.
Her flowing sparkling auburn hair whispers 
eloquently to her beauty in the warm breeze
occasionally hiding one of a huge pair of 
opulent all to consuming brown eyes.
Her visually captivating voluptuous body
would anguish a master Renaissance artist
for no brush strokes or mixture of oils
could quite capture the essence of her design. 
Those perfectly shaped succulent milky white...

Oh!  Why does that accursed demon's tormenting ring   
always awaken me just before I get to the best part.

Premium Member October Rhapsody

Auburn autumn serenades the rustling foliage melody
the fall leaves turn to flowers in nature’s surreal scenery
the sunset in color burst horizon paints picture heavenly
as shimmering twilight drizzles with the hues of serenity.

The fall leaves turn to flowers in nature’s surreal scenery
blushing clouds floating on the silk sky weaves a tapestry
as shimmering twilight drizzles with the hues of serenity
cadence of north wind pulsates with October rhapsody.

Blushing clouds floating on the silk sky weaves a tapestry
the sunset in color burst horizon paints picture heavenly
cadence of north wind pulsates with October rhapsody
auburn autumn serenades the rustling foliage melody.

this form is made up of two rhyming couplets I tried with the
traditional rhyming form)

In the Wind

sunlight filters softly down
	softly on the mists swirling around
cool droplets form everywhere
	sparkling jewels in morning light

moisture from the cleansing rain
	that in the night time here did fall
leaving a chill upon my skin
	cooling in the morning breeze

perfume of flowers fills the air
	and of rich soil moist and brown
memories tickle within my thoughts
	of many things that have been

of auburn hair so rich and full
	scent of which while holding her close
her head bent down against my chest
	my head lowered within her curls

of feeling her warmth within my arms
	soft full firmness pressed against me
two hearts beating together as one
	inflamed breaths mingling together

the taste of her upon my tongue
	of soft lingering kisses
and of passions burning hot
	still within my memories lived

soft green grasses growing long
	in the gentle breeze do wave
where we have laid in passions hot
	as warm sunlight upon us fell

from the mists her voice does call
	that she quickly returns unto me
and together we once again will be
	and together our hopes will swell

Premium Member Getting Older

They say age is just a number, 
but its much more than that.
Now everything I eat or drink
just somehow turns to fat.

I used to kick a soccer ball 
all over sunny fields of green
but now I throw my knee out
just pulling on my jeans .

My auburn hair that hung in waves, 
long and full of sheen,
is now short and white, stands on end, 
and makes me look quite mean .

Old age isn't for the faint of heart.
You need to be tough as a boot 
and forget about those days gone by 
when you were young and cute.

You need to develop a thick skin.
(Though in truth its thinner than ever)
Words no longer phase you
and your retorts have become quite clever.

Yes, growing old is really the pits.
Like living under a curse.
But on the flipside of getting older,
the alternative is worse.

Stay With Us

your heart wore my eyes
and my eyes were a gaping wound
December is passing 
Remember when autumn came too soon
I remember the lashings
all the forfeits that made you wanna cash in 

and we break down walls 
when we cry
And we're taken for a fall 
Everyday we die
and we burn bridges 
Just to suit our lies
For these reasons we strive
Do or die

But somewhere they're seeking 
Everything you felt
I noticed your eye lids 
And all the matter they held
Admist all of our triumphs
we failed to see you through

and we break down walls 
when we cry
And we're taken for a fall 
Everyday we die
and we burn bridges 
Just to suit our lies
For these reasons we strive
Do or die

And the past is always reaching
reaching for you
In and out of his grasp
you slither about
silence was a fragrance
like the auburn that drifted 
from you mouth 

"i don't know what the pressure's about
when depressions in route
there's just no room to forgive you 
and i don't know how"

Premium Member Halloween Is Here

Air is altering its pattern
Dusks are getting crispier
Nights are falling earlier
Sun is taking time to rise up

Leaves are changing their colors
Trees are showing off their fiery flairs 
Pine needles and acorns have scattered all over
Halloween is around the corner

Ghosts and goblins are appearing at the doors with vampires
Skeletons and ghouls are hanging out near front arrivals
Entries are surrounded in the webs of humongous spiders
Witches and Jack-o’-lanterns are getting ready to welcome visitors

Black cats are showing up
Owls and spooky bats are flapping their flutters
Crescent moon is decorating the night skies with its shiny silver
Town is preparing itself to entertain little monsters 

Plump round pumpkins are showing shades of orange, auburn and ginger
Costumes are being bought in stores
Candy containers can be seen in shops’ every corner 
Eager children are getting ready for Halloween pleasure

Houses are smelling with sweet scents of candles
Kitchens are spreading aromas of pies cooked with cinnamon 
Taste buds are savoring spicy warm apple ciders
Families are ready to greet and treat trick-or-treaters

Premium Member Such Was Once

Amongst the mist of midday rain
I walk beside my heart's pain
Subtle images reflect what is not
Daydreams shadow things once forgot
Pitter patter of moistly wet drops
Splatter of rain ticks like a clock
Time is still amongst the mist
I close my eyes and reminisce
Silken skin soothes the touch
Long hair of auburn full and lush
Eyes that shine from a fiery soul
The beauty of a woman I love to hold
Keeper of my heart by her firm touch
Boyhood memories make innocence blush
Gone away I long for more
Misty spirit of my adore
I bite my lip and taste the mist
My heart is cold and adrift
Puddles splash at my shoe
Do I enjoy missing you
Sunbeams break through clouds of rain
Silvery visions evaporate within my pain
Soft breezes kiss her lips on my face
Such was once I shan't replace
Wet and damp with a splash of ill
Cold and old I begin to feel
I open my eyes and close my mind
Saving her memory for another time

In Dark of Night

Unending strip of ebony darkness
	lying lost unseen under moonless black sky
it’s beginning and end upon the land
	lost in black shadows cannot be seen

deeper darkness moves within
	flowing smooth curves barely half seen
eerily growing closer to me
	silently without sound in the dark

a soft whisper of treads on road
	barely heard whispering near
dark black form take shape near me
	rushing quickly by only half seen

in dim orange glow I can see
	auburn curls flowing so long
casting color on purists white curves
	slipping quickly by into black night

with silent sound rushing by
	soft breeze of air rustles me
soft scent of jasmine and rose hardly there
	quickly fades into dark night

lost from sight so quickly gone
	soft curves of blackness fade in the night
without a sound slips away
	stirring darkness sliding away

Premium Member Voyeur

I watched you this morning.

When the cool of the air settled on the morning buds
leaving only the hint of moist stolen kisses
as golden rays slowly caressed the dew from the petals,

I watched you.

Your Cobalt beauty beseeching my gaze
transcending mere mortal allure,
playful and mischievous
the Goblin dancing in your eyes,
as your burning gaze pierced the darkness within me,

I watched you this morning.

Then turning away, as if I weren’t there,
you teased me with your tantalizing flirtatiousness,
pretending that we shared but a passing moment,
a furtive glance, an instance’s breath of longing,
your laughter sighing through the soft petals of your ardent lips.

I watched,

your slow feline body, lithe and graceful,
belying the fragility of your nature.
Your deliberate movements agilely swaying,
then you glanced back at me
with impassioned pout,
as your love lies bleeding in your mournful sorrow.
Through billowing trusses of Amaranth blooms
in the breath of breeze
that gently whispers through the curlicue locks
of your glistening auburn hair,
you comb your long slender fingers,
passing slowly down your neck,
straightening each beautiful tangle.

I watched you

and my desire to hold you overwhelmed me
but you ignored me,
making me want you, yet, more deeply.

I watched you

speaking to everyone but me.
How I wished to be each one of them
and bring this sad loneliness to an end.

I watched you

until at last with a single final look, intentional and lingering,
you brushed slowly past me, smiling sweetly,
as you gazed beneath silken lashes,
like those of Aphrodite, long and mesmerizing,
deep into my longing eyes
through the bottomless pellucid pool of cerulean
from which you enchanted me.

“Smile,” you whispered,
and my lips turned for the shortest of instance,
my grin mirroring the beauty of you.
Tenderly you touched my arm
then walked away,

and I watched.
