Pleasures Poems

Premium Memberthe dust of constellations

The day was long and greedily waited,
in near unspoken secret - like a thing
delightfully and enchantingly wicked.

We are reunited - simpatico - my love, lover and I.
We ravish each other and lavish each other
with flattery, endearments and entire pleasure.

We live sweet centuries in those tight hours.

Happiness changes the tenor of things.
Rains of feeling combine in

The Pleasure Remembered.
I saw her in a cafe yesterday; years had not been kind to her
her hair was matted, her skin was dry, and her lips were a sullen grimace,
not quite hiding her miss- coloured teeth.
Once, we slept entwined. I kissed the body and often burrowed
my head in her honey pot and drank her love

Nicotine is making a comeback
analog cigarettes are making a comeback
so many students are nicotine positive.

Every girl has Zyn by her drink at the bar
which used to be seen as a BRO-y vibe.
I’m not taking a view, I’m unbothered by it.

I’m hooked as well - I might as well admit it.
I’m into placebos these days and

What Might Make You Smile

For those healing in silence.

Maybe it’s the sunlight,
dotting playfully through the blinds—
a quiet reminder
that the world still holds light.

Maybe it’s the steam rising
from morning Earl Grey,
a scone with melted butter
—a moment of normal
in a day that’s anything but.

Perhaps it’s the slow turn of a page, 
the way strangers drift past
your window—
Perhaps it’s in imagining
their thoughts,

Premium MemberSmiles For Simple Pleasures

In a busy world I don't take for granted simple pleasures
Blooms, newly risen in Spring from bulbs planted last year
Rummaging through my collection of keepsake treasures.
My children saying those three special words I want to hear.

I smile when I have the involuntary reaction to give one back
to a stranger who has just offered a nod

He always makes my raised legs quiver and become so numb.
He always puts me into a deep daze in which I feel so dumb.
He always make me happier, never leaving me feeling glum.

Our burdens are lifted—it’s spring break, after all.

Though ocean breezes, surf sounds, the smell of sunblock,
fresh tans and bottomless margaritas at the beach can be healing,
we decided to vacation on campus and find joy in small, everyday things.

Yesterday, we went to the farmer’s market, where one coffee vendor was making real cappuccinos and another was

Premium MemberCat's Cradle

Listening to the whispers of my soul
Allowing my heart to open
A deep inhale through my nose
Cool air surrounds me
A pause
A full exhale, letting my belly expand

Collective grief permeates the air
Multitudes of people crying silent tears
The masses wear cement backpacks
Their footsteps imprinting deep sorrow
Into the wailing land

I send my light out through my heart
I listen to

Premium MemberSimple Pleasures

I used to care about my looks
Never bothered reading books
I used to chase that money tree
Surely then I could be free

I cared too much what people thought
About the many things I bought
I cared too much that I had to be right
Never bothering to be polite

I chased the notion of importance
Whereby I could make a stance
I

Since, I was only a  braided, wee bit of a thing….

It was a taste of Italia and great camaraderie also….
We were joyful ano no time for pretentious snoberry.

Sausage, provolone, garlic, divine alchemy, any day!

Adventures are easy for someone I adore
I'm addicted to your love every single day
You please me in all sorts of ways

You push my buttons, I'm losing control

Premium MemberPleasures She Wore

Your skin glows like a peach blossom, 
Delicious is the smell of the Black Lotus Flower,
In the purest hope of spring's essences.

My yearning rises to her frequency, 
Her feminine voice soothes the core of my spirit. 
She leaps at me like a panther after her prey!
By the whisper of your name, I crave.
Evening ascends in
