Premium Member Linger Longer Lover

Trusting takes time,
Play perfect pleasure,
Linger longer lover,
Strike sensual strings.

Open ourselves only,
Enjoy every emotion,
Linger longer lover,
Make merry melodies.

Never Outgrow Love

Love is fragile,
A slow plant to root
So water it with gentle words
And feed it with each tender caress

Never outgrow love

Fill each gaze since the first with that same wonder
That same breathless admiration
Make each kiss as profound as the first
Let each laugh be as bright

Never outgrow love

Have adventures, small or grand
Surprise each other
Dance in the rain
And above all…
Keep your arguments silly

Never outgrow love

Even if you grow apart
Don't be afraid to love
Even in the midst of heartbreak
Love is always stronger

Never outgrow love

Premium Member Silent Screams

Silence the waves crashing,
Silence the birds call,
Silence echoes of the lost soul,
Silence, everywhere silence.

Screams shatter the birds call,
Screams silence the waves,
Screams crack the very essence,
Screams scare the silence away.

Silently the screams take over.
Screams of silent despair.
Silent screams, scream silently.
Silently I scream.


Premium Member Lyrical Swells

Starlight stirs my coffee
the moon a soft croissant
hangs upon the painted sky
lilac or saffron my essence
new tidal ebb in accession
impassioned lyrical swells 
rise as the sun surrenders
in a haze of dusty rhymes
biscuits await upon a doily 
spiced rum waits for no one
breeze sways the tablecloth
silver leaves dance in the air
beach velvet awash in twilight
stars pour in porcelain cups
lingering, adrift or chaperoned
morning vow rises in steam.
lyrical swells dance until dawn.

A.K.A El Alborotado
-----------------------------------
To support all of this emotion
to take everything in stride
to up lift to and to encourage
put all that doubt and envy aside
how can go on saying
when so many want me o fail
hold my head up and keep on stibing
hoping one day I would prevail
Keep me grooving to the music
gone darling do your thang
breakfast was so delicious
Darling you treat me like a King
about yesterday I apologize
but don't keep doing that sorta thing

Your Ole man
started hushing
stopped talking when I came around
he get up when I started sitting
acting like he didn't want me around
 his actions both subtle and overt
had an impact on everything
made me feel like ah fifth wheel
put a dark cloud on everything
got mad and started cussin
that's not a nice or respectful thing
got in the way of our performance
putting a damper on everything
now I'm ah red eyed stranger
a tear drop fell in my beer
all that cussin and fussin
is such annoyance
it put's ah damper on everything


LOVE LYRICAL a Devotion Series Poem for Us

Play only love songs
For tonight’s starshine hours,
   with  its winking 
Constellations all
Hailed
And wished upon 

To make this night completely
Ours  ~
   and keep love’s longing
Lasting  
Here within us
Near
   enough to
Touch
Smiles
  
While our wooing words turn into
    gifts of kisses 
Re-living our first embraces
    with  hearts pulsing
Music

       Now
Freely composing itself 
     for our time yet to come 
Living in a choral harmony
    with love’s true verses
Coursing rivers
Amidst the patient rythms of
Lasting 
Eternity…

Ode to the Jodhpur Sky

O Jodhpur sky, vast and wide,
You sparkled late in starry light.
Your silence so deep, 
Made my longing heart yield with ease.

Pink and purple in the vesper,
Yellow-orange at dusk, so tender.
You guide and embrace my texture,
My soul wrapped tight in your rapture.

I declare my love to you, 
My lips await your touch so true! 
My hands & height - so small, so slight, 
Will you accept my love, my light? 

You stayed with me forever, 
You rained when I cried, 
You turned dry when I ached, 
Is it pity or your love infinite? 

I fear to leave - will you miss me? 
Or will I lose you and Jodhpur's key? 
Will you hide and forget me so fast, 
Without a tear, as I fade to the past.

Waxing Lyrical

I love her easy smile
Am mesermerized by her beauty
She has the gentleness of a Gazzel
The grace of a Girraffe browsing 
Upon the majestic accacias of the Savana
Her voice makes Fairies jelous in the nether world
Her's is a love the Angels and Jinn alike crave for
She has that tantalizing quality her Kind are famed for
When am with her all mine good moods ignite in love
I stare at the laptopscreen thinking only of her beauty
Her love leaves my innards all mellow and wanting more
When with her it's as though time grows wings and flees
It's with her I chose to make mine life revolve around
Till eternity as we hold hands and walk meadows of Genna

Heartstring

Drum beats
         Sunrises
                 Dancing dusky clouds
In tune with blues

In leafy garden
            To the hills of yearning
                      Never ending song
Sounds undying

Flowing rivers
            Flying doves
                      Flowery forest
                                   Primordial Eden
                                             Your smile
                                   Your eyes
                      Your silhouette

‘Till dawn
       Covers the night
                   Moonlight
                          Crystal Sea
                                 Reflections
                                      Your beauty
                                 From deep within
                           Your honesty
         And simplicity
My heart’s felicity

Till I dream of you
           Without fantasy
                         This heartstring
                                          Melody
                                     Harmony
                         Play intimately

Lyrical Journey of a Lover through Taiwan-II

When you spread your arms wide with a smile so bright, 
No words are needed, our souls are in flight. 
Let's watch as the birds soar over Green Island's charm, 
Flying carefree through nature's loving arms. 
Who knows, we may even catch sight from afar, 
Of the brave souls who found refuge there, like a guiding star.

When the scorching southern sun leaves you thirsty and drained,
I will become Keelung's cooling, reviving misty rain,
Showering you with a refreshing, gentle downpour,
Perhaps stealing a slow, passionate dance under Jiufen Falls once more.

If you are the rich weaver of our passionate tales,
I will be the lasting book that carefully chronicles its details,
Lovingly stitching every memory, to cherish and unveil,
Our epic tale is etched, a bond that can never fail.

Premium Member lyrical accessories

punctuation walks
on eggshells
when
words like
               water
                       falls
flow into nothingness,
soaked in syrupy syllables
behind veiled vowels

assonance is the twin of 
consonance as
         a e i o u
are an
unfinished bridge
without connection
of consonants
weaved together
in visible
unspoken actions
woven without words
just like rhythmic meter 
of thunder with lightning

like a lost refrain in a poem
assembled with enjambment 
metaphorical reflections of a
reflective metaphor portray a
m i r a g e less sincere than silence

value blossoms
when the body adopts
a gospel language
where speech
is unnecessary
unless expressed
through true
dialects of conduct
without the use of
lyrical accessories.

Faithful Lyrical Voyage

Faith directs our steps,
While we go into the deep darkness where doubts could lurk.
A lighthouse shining through the darkest nights,
An energy source for our hearts' delights.

When problems arise, a soothing voice says, 
"Believe in dreams; they come true."
It extends its grace with open arms,
And gives us the courage to find our niche.

Faith breathes the gift of life into us,
During times of struggle and leaps of hope.
It uses vivid colors to portray the sky,
An unseen story tapestry.

Let faith be our everlasting symbol, 
And let our hearts align like the stars they are.
Faith guides us to the light of God 
Through difficulties endured and distance traveled.
