Foxhound Pup - Nursery Rhyme

I frowned when I found my new pup was gone,
so, I searched all around for my little foxhound,
listening with profound intensity until dawn.
I was gowned but changed; headed to the pound,
in the eastbound lane that would take me there.
I yelled to expound, '"There's no time to spare!"

Traffic moved slowly, so I found a way round it,
now westbound, my nerves were coiled and wound.
I stopped at a campground and called his name, "Jit!"
I heard no barks or mewling. Not a single sound.
Pup, where are you? Hiding behind a hill or mound?
Did you dig holes in the ground, earthy and browned?
Pup, if you're lost, in salty tears I would be drowned.

Fears abound that I would never see his face again.
My spirits low, not much further can they be downed.
I heard, "Woof!" and my heart beat in quick refrain...
Quickly, Jit ran to me, faster than a racing greyhound!
All this time he'd been asleep in my car's backseat.
My pup continues to astound me with kisses so sweet.
He follows me everywhere, hoping for a doggie treat!

Premium Member As Leaf and Love Lay Dying

A sweeping change covers the landscape
Autumn winds willfully weave tenebrous tunes
  through trees trying to hold fast to their leaves.
Elusive, the sorrowful songs it plays in concert
  to branches bravely bending and swaying.
Ghostly aspen bid goodbye to gowned limbs,
  groaning with guttural grievance ~
I hear their caterwauling wails
  always aware of the crime Nature calls "natural"
I watch as they're stolen, for I am the Eyes of Time
neither dusk nor dawn can delude me, 
  for I see the tragedy of thievery.

It's the same story when love is lost,
  tossed on wafts of wind, aloft ~ falling apart.
Heartbroken, I've felt the woeful withering
  of a leaf detached and tumbling down.
Losing love is a morose method of dying.
As trees cry a fond foliage of farewell, 
  I have shed torrents of tears 
    that fell from my erring eyes.
I regret words my tongue left unspoken
  as the leaf of life sleeps upon my lips, 
    in a dank, dormant place life can dwell.

Oh, fall, let this lore of love be the last 
I've bloomed as cunning Cupid nocked arrows
  and suffered blows from Nature's throes. 
I've felt the depth and breadth of death
  as if cast to wayward winds like leaves 
    whose swan song left them alone ~ forlorn
      lying on the ground as love's debris.
I've heard the siren's songs on a blithe breeze
  that brought me to bended knees
    and gave up dreams that remain unfulfilled.
No longer can I savor starlight
   for when the soul ~ stars dreams and die ~
       I become a leaf without wings to fly
          with no desire to linger again, 
            in the grim grasp of grief.

Premium Member Manacled In Black Lace

Masked maiden
In lacy black frills
Manacled, chained
Sensuous thrills
 
Birthday suit bare
Heavenly toned
Sweetened and ripe
In wanting groan
 
With her laced black fan
She lures with her scent
He slowly walks to her
As her eyes lament
 
She looks up to him
In hungering stare
As he looks down
Desiring her there
 
He offers his hand
His maiden in black
To rejoice in their join
Passion attack
 
To a leather couch
He rests her down
His dark haired vixen
Lacy gowned
 
Hands encroach
In bodily roam
Synchronised
Heavenly home
 
In pleasurable touch
Their joys arise
In welcome slide
His pride inside
 
Rhythmic rhythm
Tantalising tongues
Hands homing
Sexually sung
 
Perpetual in motion
Writhing want
Cries of caressing
Her heavenly font
 
The mix of their motion
River of love
Quench of two
Eagle and dove
 
Rosy complexions
Flora flushed
Passions hushed
Pinked and blushed
 
Couched and cosy
Hunger appeased
Two covered in lace
In lovingly please

Angels of Mercy

Angels of Mercy

To all those who have been deemed essential 
Dealing with a virus, with a death rate so potential 
Looking into the eyes of a gowned, masked healer
Seeing fatigue and fear, but bravely the concealer

To all the police officers, who place their lives on the line
To all the nurses, who lovingly care for all those confined 
To all the doctors, who have always been there for us all
To all the paramedics, caring for the big and very small

To all the bus drivers who bravely take people to and fro
To all the truckers, driving lonely, away from all they know
To all the grocery workers, stocking shelves of what we need 
To all the frontline workers, always there to help us succeed 

To all the families, adhering to all the social distancing now
To all the children, in this fearful time, being brave somehow
To each and everyone of us, this virus has somehow touched
We are all angels of mercy, our undying humanity untouched

Premium Member Mediterranean Love

The Highland Princess
Sails again
Its captain and dove
To the Mediterranean
 
Now so much in love
To an island they go
To celebrate their engagement
For their love truly flows
 
This archipelago of seven
In this sea of blue
Aboard our babe
As we enjoy the views
 
Marina we berth
Settle in for the night
For tomorrow, our interests
Its historic sights
 
Early start
To the blue lagoon
For in the evening
We will love in tune
 
History surrounds
Every where we go
In its harbours and towns
Evidence shows
 
This island of class
With it's World Heritage sights
The Megalithic Temples
Still stand upright
 
These icons of age
To this island their worth
They are the oldest free standing structures
On this planet Earth
 
As the evening draws in
We head back to our yacht
To absorb our day
And what Malta has taught
 
Dinner and drinks
As we settle down
In comfy pose
Naked, but gowned
 
I take the hand
Of my golden dove
As we know in our eyes
Our evening of love
 
To our cabin we go
As our gowns are thrown
This captain and dove
Whose love keeps growing
 
Naked we fall
On our heavenly bed
Spooned together
To be sexually fed
 
Our bodies merge
As i grow inside
This gyrating two
Flowing with the tide
 
As i caress my dove
Her body and breasts
Nibbling her nape
In wanting zest
 
Our souls release
Potion so pure
Our bonding engagement
For future, sure
 
In the morning we awake
To the sounds of life
On our next voyage
She will be my wife

Mary Queen of Angels

Crowned in beauty bright as the morning star 
you Mother of all Mothers Divinely created by far  
Mother of good counsel , 
Mystical Rose 
Seat of wisdom, 
Woman of Divine Grace; 
Guide me and protect me in all I say and do 
Gowned in light you are yoked to Christ the King 
whenever you appear all the angels choral-sing 
Mother of Mercy 
Comforter of the ill 
Gate of Heaven 
Morning Star 
Bring forth your rays and your miracles of love 
you Mother of all Mothers Divinely created above 
Morning Star 
Queen Of Angels 
crowned in beauty bright as the liquid night , 
more scented that the Rose of pearly white 
Place us all, underneath your Holy Mantle 

Amen !

Premium Member With Such Longing

Inside a bamboo garden, where I followed a red-crowned crane 
an exotic treasure of another sort held me spellbound 
seated upon the lawn, a courtesan beauty there did reign. 

Guilty, I stood beside a Lychee tree, expectations of arraign 
but she smiled with cherry lips, in pale blue she was gowned 
inside a bamboo garden, where I followed a red-crowned crane. 

A delightful scene of refined Chinoiserie, created quite urbane 
Lotus flowers, Jin of bonsai, beside the paragon were found
seated upon the lawn, a courtesan beauty there did reign 

Exquisitely she sat, blush on her cheeks, fragile as porcelain.
I longed to caress her coifed hair, cascading and unbound
inside a bamboo garden, where I followed a red-crowned crane. 

I feared death, for when she beckoned my heart was being slain. 
I bowed before the Eastern goddess in whose beauty I had drowned
seated upon the lawn, a courtesan beauty there did reign.

Worthy of gracing a palace, she and the Chinoiserie shall remain
no longer will I find her graceful figure on the ground
inside a bamboo garden, where I followed a red-crowned crane
seated upon the lawn, a courtesan beauty there did reign.

Paradise Holds A Horse's Crown

~o~          ~o~          ~o~

Tis naught mere magic to be found,
for they have lept beyond the ground,

All in plastic they wore as gowned,
smiled in pretense confused the frowned,

Paint ashen white and horsey browned,
ere their lift dips flowerbed drowned,

All earlier had been preowned,
earned their freedom per pound by pound,

For they had pranced purposed meant clowned
froze on carousels round and round,

~o~          ~o~          ~o~

Paradise holds a horse's crown,

~o~          ~o~          ~o~

Naught to gait frolic fixed they wound,
gift with horse sense made naught a sound,

In righteousness, they did expound,
wonders commenced and made a mound,

That they grew from merry-go-round,
launched by faith be now Heaven bound,

Sought was you deservingly hound,
enwrapped in dreams had you been found,

Enjoined in quest blessings surround,
collectively after fairground,

~o~          ~o~          ~o~

Paradise holds a horse's crown,

~o~          ~o~          ~o~

Upon a steed saw you profound,
rewards a lift be him spellbound,

Comes opened gate all are inbound,
a genteel spot e'er a playground,

Boy gifts release gaits all around,
beset in gold placed out a crown

Views linger as a boy propound,
a fostered life former background,

A boy realized belonged crown,
rightfully his steed be renowned,

~o~          ~o~          ~o~

Paradise holds a horse's crown.

~o~          ~o~          ~o~

Premium Member Venom and Stardust

h u r t me…
with your deadly devotion,
leave lethal love-bites
across pulsing pages…
I ache to wear the burning blaze
of your rhymes around my neck,
to be choked by poetic desire,
to be punished with personified fire…

but what is a jewel 
            without your touch?
there is no gold ~ free-falling
from outer space,
deeper than sparks rising higher,
in tune with the mercury madness,
the cosmos of craving ~

taste this undying thirst
for ethereal union,
wrist to wrist, poem to poem,
ink to ink, skin to skin,
lips locked in longing,
as I yearn for eternal rest ~
knowing that when
I return, you’ll still be there,
willingly mine, evermore,
leashed to my Stygian stars,
O beloved blue moon rarity,
my Orpheus of musical silver,
where the throb of Eurydice
echoes like the pain of passion
I cradle within ~ heaven’s roses
bruised by obsession,
throned in an orchard of thorns
where every petal bleeds
the fragrance 
          of fatal fidelity ~

surrender 
      to my fixated fantasy,
worship the warmth of want,
as I slip into the
void of this endless black,
swallowing the ambrosia
from your acidic tongue
that drips venom and verses,
hauntingly hypnotizing
with the wet
heat of a rain-soaked lyre,
where we will be reborn
from the underworld ashes
of ghost-glazed diamonds…

I crave to be the cluster of reasons,
the wedded widow,
still gowned in viper’s devouring,
chained in anklets jeweled
with jinxed jade,
dragging me down a realm
of the unspoken 
parts of the underworld ~
oblivious to the earthly creatures
crawling through coldness…

I am smoothly strangled 
by the symphonic sentiments
of a loyal liaison,
an epic obedience,
that made the angels of life and death
weep and sleep
to the sound of defiant dews
of a reckless romance ~
for love seeps from curling
words into a
floundering bloodstream,
tying fanatic temptation
to the corpse tunes of gothic twilight…

Premium Member Soul Stance River - 12

In the setting sun the Sioux Tepees look like vandalized pyramids,
the Tetons themselves appear as though angels raped
by the savagery of centuries yet noble in barbaric beauty and warrior ethos,
a Scalp Dance is begun, torches up high on the outside
a bonfire big and heavy be the center spirit,
the drums awaken from the caves of ancestral courage
and the voices of a thousand Mothers plead for the pride of their sons,
drumbeats raise the heartbeats into the heat of glory
as the rattles rake the mind with the cost of blood,
warriors enter the pit with bravery to prove and fate to appease
feet pound the earth and scalps shake on power rods
the currency of victories swing wide and thunder smacks the stars,

Afterwards, Chief Partisan presents us with squaws
pretty in young passion and fertile to the touch,
there is a custom of strength transfer through intercourse
they desire the seed of our spirit,
indulging in their spells of native kiss could leave us vulnerable
to capture or even assassination
we can't afford to be reckless in pleasure or mindless of morals,
I am unwilling to father a hybrid pioneer amongst a probable enemy,
embracing these temptresses gowned in scanty furs
could even politically bind us to the Teton against their traditional adversaries,
we must avoid inciting intertribal conflict at this juncture,

Morning has arrived with a think fast attitude
the messages between our nations is unequivocal
the Teton are intractable in their belief of invincible independence, 
they have their arsenal, warriors, and horses,
feeling that they own the thunder and the fear of their neighbors, 
the Chinese and New York fur markets
along with taxing river passage have to date guaranteed them wealth
and the British have armed them for profit,
however, the arrowheads of the United States are aimed to strike their arteries
and we won't stop until they bleed out into oblivion,
the Sioux shenanigans have resumed as we gather up and get ready to push off,
exasperated,  we convince Black Buffalo that it behooves him
to persuade his people to let us leave without hostilities
and they do as we toss them some tobacco sticks,
once on Destiny, anchor up,
the southerly winds lift our vessels towards autumn's genesis,
