Orchard Fantasy

Opulent surroundings this fine orchard dwells
Royal blood runs through each and every branch
Grand displays of brightly coloured fruit
A vast covering as far as the eye can see
Nectar sweetens the air and fills the honey bees
Idyllic when at one with nature all around
Cultivating the paths to my inner sanctum

Fine fruits tantalise my watering mouth
Rich in vibrancy ready to be picked
Ultimate pleasure soaks my desire
Indulgently I accept the sumptuous offerings
Tantalising my tongue as I sink my teeth to bite 
Succulent pieces fill my stomach and my soul

Rainbow Heartbeat 

Pour me a rainbow 
let it float on the sea
As it flows from your heart
and become a part of me

Yellow to brighten 
any cloudy day
As upon the waves
it effortlessly plays

Red born of desire
undulating motion 
Salty on my tongue
a passionate potion

Yes, pour me a rainbow
let it float on the sea
As it flows from your heart 
and becomes part of me

Blue as bright as the sky
a twin on the water
Twinkling refractions
Poseidon’s daughter

Green like in a garden
ripples tickle my feet
Liquid luxurious 
a horizon to greet

Orange to tantalise
on waters once pale
Jack O'Lantern splendour 
intertwining with whales

Let me savour your rainbow
as it floats on the sea
Flowing from your heart
becoming part of me

Indigo intuition
free flowing crystal clear
Your gift upon the sea
that draws me near

Violet imagination
A vision complete
Oceans of possibilities 
Your rainbow heartbeat.

Premium Member Longing

What would I give,once more
To hold the blue-eyed angel I adore?
Earth has not anything to show more fair
Than the cascading of her golden hair.

Oh!To drink in her breathy sighs
As I lie between her moistening thighs.
To nibble upon her soft ear lobes
To sip upon her succulent globes
While around me her legs entwine tightly
(Such closeness I crave nightly)
To hold me deep within her sweet oasis
As I  shower her half ope lips with kisses.

This dream doth me tantalise
With her ivory skin and bewitching eyes.
There is nothing I own of any treasure 
That could ever purchase such loving pleasure.

Premium Member Infant Spring Fervour

Dewdrops stream down boisterous 
children’s freckle-strewn mischievous dials,
as they dash in cartoon costume faux denim
apparel amidst the pale yellow sunlight glare.
Marble stone button twiddle on a blue
rinse wrinkle t-shirt,
Sumptuous  ice cream raspberry blobs
tantalise the cheeky taste bud imps
whose chocolate brown eyes swell with
every morsel glutinously gorged on.
Doting parents wantonly indulge 
their dawn glow
offspring’s shrieks of antic wonderment,
the honeysuckle fragrance that 
releases germ-stuffed
nostrils a portentous spring nectar booster
shot for folk and kin alike,
effervescent yodel from young  sibling and the 
young at heart zeal of golden realm guardians
elevated to this neon sign paradise,
purple sleeve lacquer layer hydrant, surreal  spirit  saviour
of  parched embryonic throats.
Picklock to that  universal  perfume 
cloud that hovers
over asphalt stain urn and 
stoic mint green
pristine luscious lawn,
playground  for the butterfly wing vernal innocent  shrouded by an orange peel citric soft fruit  haze.
Age span infant euphoric zoom on fountain spume,
where families in a Ferris wheel hubub rejuvenate the
lacklustre greyness of their far too often
monochrome existence.

SUMMERTIMES MAGIC.

    Summertimes magic makes a fine holiday,
    Where lands of enchantment, invite us to stay.
    The lure of the wild, or, in peaceful solace,
    These wonderful places we love to embrace.
    To dive coral reefs, with it's blues and the greens of aquamarine,
    Or tantalise tastebuds, with exquisite cusine.
    By dining al fresco, while taking a cruise,
    And drink cocktails at eight, mixed with green chartreuse.
    With the tang of sliced lemon or sweet tangerine,
    Those bountiful fruits will keep palates clean.
    A walk on the wild side, delightfully charms,
    With the heady perfume, passing lavender farms.
    Those waysides and byways, when we need to refresh
    At watermelon stalls quenching thirsts we stay fresh.
    From the pale lilac crocus, a fine yellow spice,
    For exotic dishes, saffron flavoured, served with rice.
    All beautiful memories, under cerulean skies,
    It's summertimes magic, which fill misty eyes.

Premium Member Golden Gust Glow

Where bold breezes blow a wondrous world awakes,
they swaddle silken scenes that surround so many,
fresh air is an awesome advantageous aspect all told,
it inspires instantly without waver whatsoever,
empowered  energetic edge to species human,
and amazing animals as one might often observe,
inhale invigorating images imbued that tantalise the rapt rambler,
magic meadow mindfulness gets a great gee up,
from  well-found winds which waft,
woo and weave surreal semblance sumptuous,
when poets pause perhaps divine delightful dizains descend,
iridescence infinite inkling  as angel aura  atmospheres alights,
gust of golden genesis glad guest most warmly welcome,
shell  strewn sea shore surface swept,
kaleidoscopic knots kindle conduits creative channel,
bard on boundless beach befitting  benefit,
oodles of ornate overarch saline squall sequesters,
petrichor’s proboscis pleasure pick up post downpour,
quixotic quintessential quest quenched by fabulous fairytale flurry,
daylight dazzle’s deft dip driven by draught

Given Presence

Resourceful - conjuring bulk from brain brew
Remorseful - predictable poetry, spirit sinking 
Perception - radically alters the same view
Pareidolia -  open gate self driven thinking

Eradicate -   enclosure - thwart cliche profanity
Enigma -  drifts in layers of conciousness 
Hallucinate - haunts the bridge adjoining sanity 
Hypothosise - solidify vapour responsiveness 

Fabricate -  concocted charade materialised
Fantasy - unreal ideas give desperate relief
Establish - beyond bounds to tantalise 
Erroneous -  concealed, reveals new belief

Rampant written critters eat readers' expectations 
Sabre tooth tigers exude from woodgrain exuberantly 
Thumping words stir rainbow disco illumination 
With sage persuasion, topic prospers convincingly

Slices of vivid visuals leave consumer inflicted
Scenarios spring suddenly, scorch on impact 
Rage and rapture entwine, rapid zig zag ballistic 
Buffed poem friction, grazed reader attacked

A Cautionary Tale

A girl called Lucy loved to trumpet lies
And idle gossip laced her lips with ease.
Tall tales tripped off her tongue to tantalise
Those twitching ears which reddened by degrees.

This filled her honest Mother with despair
‘You wash your mouth with soap’ she often cried.
Young Lucy shrugged it off and did not care -
To those who would do likewise, woe betide!

One day, when she’d amassed an eager crowd
Who circled round to hear the latest slur,
She stood there in the limelight, feeling proud,
When suddenly a fly buzzed near her ear.

How everybody gaped to see it dive
Right into Lucy’s mouth poised open wide,
Then heard her splutter, gasp and vainly strive
To cough it up - she choked and promptly died!

The moral of this tale is do not lie;
When tempted move your upper lip down south.
Then Lucy’s fate will surely pass you by,
Nor fly, nor lie invades a fastened mouth.
