Premium Member She Forgot

She could not forget
How she’d been forgotten
And so she chose to no longer remember…

His lips that had made love to hers
Tasting her savor

His hands that journeyed
Over the landscape of her body
Pausing at swelling hills
To be amused
Pitching their tents in
The lush and verdant
Oasis of her love
To bring her pleasure

She chose to forget
The sounds of his satisfaction
At being fed, nourished
From the bounty of her passion
The satiation of his body and mind
By her opulent fare
Of delectable treats

She chose to forget
The eyes that had been her home
Her shelter, refuge
The dark lashes that enclosed her
Safe and warm
Eyes that caressed her thoughts
That spoke when his words faltered
Of surging emotions or tranquil contentment

She chose to forget
Those words that had etched themselves
Into the walls of her heart
That burst fresh with each beat
Pouring into the hall of memories
Of her mind
Shouting out
Begging for attention
Begging to be recited
Like a chant
To be repeated
Again and again
To be lingered over

She chose to forget
All these...
And in doing so
She forgot who she was
She forgot time and place
She forgot his face
She forgot…..
To breathe

Premium Member Glamours of a Setting Sun

**The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.** "Helen Keller"


How cheerful to say that delight fills the air,
Most magic spells ruled this elated day.
When all our family and friends are there,
So, we relish the words, how cheerful to say.

What a lovely day the kid's faces look,
When they are in a group, they grin and play.
It makes us beatific to yield hugs and took,
Oh, festive day! What a lovely day.

Our souls rise the same as a delicate butterfly,
The sacred realm of the celestial wise.
Filled with the aroma of a devout sigh,
We are graced with joy, and our souls rise.

Stars flow down when we all pray,
God’s grace will bathe us in a stellar glow.
The glory of God will spur the dusk away,
This steers us to redemption as stars flow.

Candles are lit and prayers we all make,
close to a table of candy canes, kids are excited.
They invited all to savor a piece of cocoa cake,
we uttered worship as the candles were lit.

A sparkly snowman stares with a grin on his face,
wrapped in serenity, do what no one else can. 
It makes me glad to grasp this lovely place,
below a pine sits the chief, a sparkly snowman.

Bestow a fair share of love and affection,
sate the world with optimism, but be aware.
Accord feeble hearts their potent motivation,
to assist them live free of fear. Bestow a fair share.

Future Memories In Passing

a future memory in passing
i think thoughts i will leave in my head
i will just express the tonality of your beauty in my mind
though you are older, my imagination is a jungle of growth with no discipline
i savor the moment as you become another microscopic period with no simple sentence to end

a future memory in passing
our eyes meet briefly as you walk back the other way
the wind blows your hair in your eyes, and you stop for a moment as you brush it away from your face
though i am younger, your imagination ignites an odd sort of fire in my loins
the guessing game flirtation elongates as we wonder about the other

a future memory in passing
there are words unspoken between us that we will never come close to know
we both know the true truth of our respective situations
though we may be december, we shine in each others lives until the clock of reality strikes
it is then that in seemed hesitation we slowly part ways....knowing full well we will never pass each others way again....

LIFE

AS YOU GET OLDER, YOUR HEART GETS COLDER IF YOU LET IT.

LIFE CATCHES UP WITH YOU, AND IT PASSES BY FASTER THAN A BLINK OF AN EYE.
THE MORE YOU LOOK FOR HAPPINESS, THE HARDER IT IS TO FIND, SO LET IT COME TO YOU.

CHERISH THOSE UNFORSEEN MOMENTS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY, THE MOMENTS THAT YOU HUG AND EMBRACE SOMEONE YOU LOVE, THE MOMENTS THAT FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, AND THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO STOP TIME FOREVER AND STAY IN THAT MOMENT FOR ETERNITY.

SAVOR A SMELL, A TASTE, A SONG THAT YOU WILL TREASURE IN YOUR HEART FOREVER.
WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE IS FOR YOU AND YOU ALONE. THAT'S LIFE........

reflection is my sanctuary,   a place to savor
  time while twirling tender thoughts gently
                         in my mind -
           embracing excitement within,
                       and this sweet taste    of love                  

      
           but  at this moment,
                        i long to   r e p l a y 
                 a familiar tune
                               on a vintage turntable 
                          
                                ________
                           
                      while thinking of you
                          _____________

                            
                  somehow   it brings me closer,
             so curl around me and  s t a y
                                  ---*---

Premium Member Christmas Snow

“Cats teach us how to enjoy life. They savor every moment, from 
the warm sun on their backs to the joy of a well-played pounce.”
                                                                       – Anonymous


Snow stopped rubbing against my leg to get attention
when he became curious about Christmas tree lights
tangled all over the floor to the point of contention.
I saw him begin nibbling the bulbs, taking little bites,
so I shooed him away in a moment of apprehension,
afraid that he might break one. Oh, the hypertension!

That lasted all of thirty seconds, and Snow was back,
crouched in hunt mode, his eyes locked on a string.
I saw him tense, creeping closer, ready for the attack.
He chattered and launched himself like a coiled spring,
landing in strings and ran as if he was on a racetrack.
I reached for my camera. It was moment for my Kodak!

Instead of being frightened, he was perfectly content
to walk around, wrapped in lights from head to toe,
so, I let him prance like that for a while without dissent.
But when I tried to take them off, I got a hiss from Snow
letting me know that giving them up was not his intent.
It became a problem that I had to cleverly circumvent.

I thought that turning on the lights I'd already strung
might change his mind and fill Snow with a bit of fright
so, I busied myself with ornaments and stockings hung,
then found him cozied up beneath the tree. What a sight!
He was licking each brightly colored globe with his tongue.
That string still tightly wound around him, they were flung.

I didn't have the heart to take away his brand new toy.
While soothing him with my voice, I plugged him in,
standing by in case he was scared, but not my lil' boy.
Here's the photo and I swear, Snow is wearing a grin.
He's asleep before the hearth, on a pillow of corduroy.
A memory to treasure on this Christmas filled with joy.

When I placed a golden star atop my Christmas tree
I heard the faint mewing from beside the fireplace.
Snow's big blue eyes were open wide as if in plea.
I just couldn't stand the sad look upon my kitty's face
and put a star on his head, then got a holder for a battery
so his lights could move with him. Now, he's purring at me.

Premium Member Appetite Delight

Pleased with your delightful appetite
I offer freshly-cooked corn*, so sweet
Satiate your cravings for goodness’ might
Enabling cheerful gratitude tweet.

There’s more; get some; great blessings abound
Savor each grain midst contentment cheer
Munch well along heart’s mirth; good health’s sound
Since I’m inspired to feed you, my son, dear.

With food on the table, we’re thankful
Pleased to enjoy fruits of ardent toil 
Sharing with others, indeed blissful
Acknowledging the Source, with faith’s coil.

*Joel 2:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn … and ye shall be satisfied therewith.

Premium Member Too Soon Gone

The air drips over the lake
yet to be thundered awake. 
Mirages waver.
Bare feet on black asphalt quake
Keepers on sand tractors rake. 
That's summer's flavor.
Swimsuit wearers all partake
of young beauties and beef cake
as love is a savior.

Dip the babies toes, savor
the lake's cool icy laver,
hear her giggles rise.
See the lover's sink braver
and the old ones disfavor
soon to end July.
Scorched red by Sun's engraver.
Father's garden hose wavers.
Soon, summer good bye's.

August crisps the field's allies.
Summer's guests leave compromised.
The lifeguard's gone. 
It's too hot for much but sighs.
The town theater's cool as ice,
from the heat in drawn.
Watch the actor's prance in guise
Fall with have it's own surprise,
Too soon, summer's gone.

Premium Member CANDY CANE LANE

Observations upon observations
Walking through the Christmas Winter wind
Cold outside with a warm heart on the inside
But in our story, they come alive
Dancing full of joy and happiness
Flavor beyond taste in the Christmas minute
Just imagine Candy canes in a motion of movement
Maneuvering and inspired from the night skies
Childs and Adult dream 
Toy lands stream
Memory lane thought
Santa’s Workshop
Sweetness soaring through the air
Aroma to savor
The ingredient of the Christmas flavor
More than one of a kind
Mind senses in the Christmas feel
Razzle and Dazzle of color
The celebration has begun
Stars twinkle being among
Embracing in the Candy Cane kiss
Time for the Candy Cane Waltz
Wonderful night
High above with the stars and moon in sight
Christmas dreams full of imaginations
Possibilities into the obvious
Candy cane delight
Christmas night
Energize with excite
Candy Canes and Christmas trees formulate their dance
Next will be your chance, but don’t be surprised
It’s Christmas
Happy Holidays to all and togetherness the call
Come on and dance, but don’t stall
You don’t want Christmas to pass you buy
Give a Christmas dance a try
Your secret is safe between you and I.

Premium Member Searching

For a thousand years my soul sought yours
A destiny of defeat of quiet discourse
My eyes were blind to the vision before me
But my heart once fulfilled New it was you
A beautiful being tossed away by the lost
And yet I saw the royalty in you at a glance
Your sincere trusting discerning nature
Only I could possibly love and hold after
All these years of suffering my true souls’ desire
I accept you I adore you I will treasure above
Gold and silver and all the treasures of the world
You are my souls’ desire! My eternity. The last hope
I will ever have to keep my heart from breaking. 
Please savor these words and trust me my soul.
