sun mesmerizes
my sleepy little cat
dreaming of fish dish
I've tasted the sweetness
from her heart
she was delicious
~
I embrace the words
her thoughts
Yes! I embraced it
in her eyes
~
Her windows sparkle
Her bare feet I washed
I kiss her hands
~
this as her soul
I greet this woman
before me I stand mesmerized

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2026
On magical night when moon sings
Monarch butterflies dance
There is golden glow to beautiful wings
Wonderful night of romance.
Bella Luna hangs low in midnight sky
Her song just hypnotized
Lovers embrace with enchanted sigh
Moon and Butterflies mesmerize.
Now, is this just a dream or reality?
Ask couple who are ensnared
Passion runs high under fever tree
When love was finally declared.
Oh, she's beautiful
She , the only girl who left me, mesmerized .
I sat and watched as she brushed her long
golden hair. She smiled politely at everyone.
She saw good in everyone.
Many said she was the daughter of the ocean
as her hair swayed with the waves in perfect harmony.
She would lay on a rock singing with the most beautiful voice , just as I was about to talk to her. I woke up.
By A.Mbali
So beautiful, incredible!
A true sight to behold
With eyes bluer than sapphire
That capture and enfold
At first sight you'll be silenced
Unable to believe
She's standing in your presence
Her image you'll perceive
A princess there in person
Lighting up the room
And when she walks beside you
Note hints of sweet perfume
I'll trace her with my fingers
Laying side by side
For All You Give
I Choose You
Everything to Hide
Beguiled by her delicate beauty
Mesmerized by her charm.
Her soft flowing hair like spun gold,
as she danced in the summer sun,
As graceful as a floating feather.
Brighter than a diamond, the sparkle in her eye,
her smile set my heart on fire,
Her voice as melodious as a symphony,
She remodeled my style and changed my looks ,
Turned me into something she chose me to be,
And incredibly decided that I suited her perfectly.

Mesmerized by the Monarch's flight
Flutter and swirling in the air
It danced around me so light
WIth happiness in its flare
it landed close to me a lot
Circling around me today
Taking rests in each peaceful spot
I watched it lift me on its way
My head turned with each move made
Such celebration to see
Not a reason to be afraid
Mesmerized by serenity
My friend went along it's journey
Leaving me standing in its wake
Altered by swirling memory
With nothing left at stake

Moonbeams magnificently magic,
Marvelous modest mimic,
Moments mostly monitoring,
Mellow mood moving
Multiple merriments mostly,
Most muddled motley,
Morbidity means mysterious,
Manifestation matter multifarious

Northern wind drifts winter chill away,
lifts the mist from my meadow grey.
Ivory cloud floats in majestic style
from the sunburst horizon
across the sapphire sky.
The seamless sky called life sparkles in spring,
in beguiled breeze flits a butterfly free.
I weave lattice of my soul on its wing,
my garden blossoms all seasons for me.
buds unfurl hued charm
fragrance sails in rippling air…
songbird finds lost tune

Morey Mouse made merry,
Mollifying Mallory’s Mama,
Maybe mixing mammoth metaphors
Marvelously mystical, Marmaduke mimed
mingling, meshing, ‘mogrifying magical mites,
Measuring muskrats minding miniature minnows
Meddlesome merrymakers, Mr. Mumbsly mentioned, miffed.
Mesmerized minions made millions, merely making mincemeat.
Mediocre maybe, magnificent Mrs. Mumps meticulously mentioned.
I am mesmerized
by ever-changing wisps
of clouds
meandering across
cobalt-blue
Hawaiian skies.
I am mesmerized
by whitecaps dashing
against coral breakers
phizzing out in the sand.
I am mesmerized
by colorful phrases
strolling across white
unlined pages.

Acres upon acres of snow white clouds
Lie beyond our air flight window
Spans from horizon to horizon
As wide as we are high;
Bumpy clouds with ridges and valleys
Whiter than the white sands of Destin,
If only I could step out and walk
On those billows of brillian white fluff, then
When tired, I could lie down in a ridge
And pull a portion of cloud under my head
And pull another over me for warmth-
Ah, but that is impossible I think!
This airplane flies through the thick vapors so
The clouds would not hold me while suspended
six miles high above earth:
Yet, Jesus will return one day*
On an white horse riding on a cloud
What a day that will be_
Majesty and glory brighter
Than the glorious white I see-
-EvelynPearl Anderson
*Revelations 19:11

The church had become a romantic place
The groom was mesmerized by his true love
The bride walked down the aisle with poise and grace
The church had become a romantic place
Her wedding dress adorned with pearls and lace
Their connection sent from heaven above
The church had become a romantic place
The groom was mesmerized by his true love
The bride walked down the aisle with poise and grace
The church had become a romantic place
Her wedding dress adorned with pearls and lace
Their connection sent from heaven above
The groom was mesmerized by his true love
Their journey soared like wings of a dove

"Mesmerized"
I am
all of the
colours
in your mind
we dance our
fresh canvas
flirtatiously
brushstrokes
caressing
inquisitively
flowing
we blend together
effortlessly
Mesmerized
You are
all of the
colours
reflecting
in my eyes
Double Jeopardy
a cool seduction
hypnotized

Mesmerized By Life
By: Miracle Man
July 28, 2020
Sometimes I’m mesmerized by person or thing,
while knowing its a fixation, still to it, I cling.
Thoughts of an iced tea on a hot humid day,
to quench my thirst in a satisfying way.
Or a memory that lingers from a distant past,
That leaves me saddened and feeling downcast
Each day I try keeping these emotions repressed,
But today, the world situation, has me depressed.
