Romance Poems

My Shantelle.
My madame wasel.
When you are near my heart starts to swell.
Oh your perfume, what a lovely smell.
I have sent love letters through the mail.
Shantel like the w-fi
Do you like romance or do you prefer sci-fi?
Is this love, its too...Read More

Looking for love on computer lines
in the faces of many strangers
where no light of love ever shines
dancing in and out of dangers.

Looking for love electronic
manly visages on pages.
No welcome home yet in the dark,
broad range of generous ages.

Where is the...Read More

The Care and Feeding of Ideas

Someone wrote them down. 
Words, on parchment, various kinds.
Someone else...
probably edited, and formatted, 
and thought through, and revised, 
and then it was all re-written. 
After consideration, 
adulation, 
spontaneous combustion of excitement, 
mixed with the revelry...Read More

From simmer to boil,
an upswelling of passion
as two lovers kiss.
There's such hunger in their eyes.
A rendezvous at sunset.

Romance
Courtly, torrid
Flinging, existing, wooing
Ever so sentimental
Woo

O, Valencia's prized possession,
perfected in your prime,
to pluck you without resistance
from a beaming, bowing branch...
Gravity's gentle transaction
would roll like attraction into my open palm.
To feel your textured tenderness within an easy grip,
senses saturated with sun kissed sleekness...
How juicy you must...Read More

she described her work as creating creatures
using her efforts to summon the greatest fear
of people
she wanted her audience to believe her
and she wrote with an effort to
envision the deepest and darkest
feeling of fear and loneliness
the author paints the canvas
so that...Read More

Your freedom of choice, to rejoice.
Come here, my dear, and have no fear.
You got in gear, with no veneer, 
I'm drawn to your magnetic voice.
It's clear, you're music in my ear.

My best intentions are noble,
inclined t'wards the climate I find.

lipstick on his bleach white collar
in the shade of his wife’s blush
his pulse point still feels her breath
colleagues think he’s been fooling around

I woke up for the 6th time tonight to the cry of the babe sleeping in our room
The mum tired, sleepy turns to breastfeed this lil monster

When I was in campus, the word companionship came without any responsibilities
It meant holding...Read More

George was too shy to ask Eve for a date
His frightful trembling just wouldn't abate
   So he made a recording
   Of an airliner boarding
Warning: "Last call for this Eve ~ Don't be late"...Read More

The Hero, Raven, Poe And First Encounter,
Part Two , Of Three, Dedicated To Master Poe 
 
 Dying massive suns, exploding black moons,
loaded guns, death arriving far too soon.
Anguish, oozing pain, sad pitiful cries
rotting remains, under pallid grey skies,
Crimson puddles...Read More

His heart jumped when he saw her sitting there
so he thought he’d take a chance
he walked over, touched her hand and asked,
“Would you care to dance?”

Her heart jumped when his hand touched hers
so she thought she’d take a chance
she smiled,...Read More

Glistening upon the dancing shadows
Of a sultry, sun kissed eve
Twenty shades of eternal green hew
And the purest of eye catching beauty
Which envelops a gently undulating scape?
Against an azure, all contrasting evening sky
Poisoned not, by man’s developing
Almost virgin like, in puritan...Read More

So many nights
When I close my eyes 
You’re in my sights
I can’t disguise 

The pull, the swirl
Captivating breeze
Of an island girl
The thought, oh please

Let time stand still
sun do not rise
The things I feel
Under evening sky’s 
My one and only
Know who...Read More

Unfair Calories 

Chocolate cake, 
can be eaten fast or slow. 
Depends on who, 
is at the end of the fork. 
But I tell you true, 
there is a thing that happens, 
to... a... few. 

They are taken to better places,...Read More

Cyrus...

President of the country, 
not like any that came before. 
Or... Like any that will follow. 
Standing in the gap between the flood, 
and the waters of eternity, 
threatening to consume the weak, 
kill the innocent, 
and feast on the...Read More

Strange Weather 

The camels are swimming, 
and who knew...
they knew how?
What a surprise...
to all that stood by, 
watching them cross the desert, 
like ducks on a pond. 

Careful and fearful, 
some should be, 
as the sucking sand, 
has grown hungry.
Pulling...Read More

Wake

What is that noise?
I have heard it before?
In the ramblings...
of my loved ones words? 

I must get up and seek it out.
I rise like the house is on fire...
but in fear of being alive, 
but dead still. 
I rush.
I place...Read More

Scales to Measure

We are not all equal. 
Some can dance on a wire...
above the crowd, 
Some can swim...
all the way to China. 
While others,
make food that feeds...
many every day, 
or take the hearts...
from some, 
to place in others. 

How can...Read More
