The snow white flower
With perfevid redolence
Perfuses the air
Alluring the ambience
With schmaltzy besotted love

A lady who frequented pubs
wound up with besotted old duds.
	Englishmen, she said, drink,
	far too much, I think –
I should look elsewhere for hubs....

A besmitten, besotted young miss
was beguiled by the man of her sis

though betwixt and between
will her lust cause a scene?

She cared not, and blew him a big kiss!...

Here lies a besotted chorister, too soon

          Out of grog and out of tune.

          A basso nicht-so profundo is ne'er forgot

          Whether he die by clinker or by pot....

Many times I've felt frightened and alone                       
Besotted, I've lost values thus my home
What changes the way our hearts react?
Choosing carefully to keep souls intact!...

Her besotted idyll interrupted
by the adolescent angst--
Ha, a momentous choice!

Life
Living
Awaiting
Being in love
Casting away doubt
Giving and receiving
All unconditionally
Leading to a happy marriage
Besotted so in love, life entwined
Until deaths sting strikes it's unwanted blow

Busty Betty beguiled the besotted boys
Painfully plain Polly puzzled over her plight
Dapper Dan discovered the delights of drive-ins
Blushing busty Betty before long began to bulge 
Polly perceived  her problem and preceded
To point the poor papa and his problem to the priest...

The gals are besotted with Roger,
he's famed for the size of his todger,
they pay for his time
(he charges a dime) -
he's ninety but not an old codger.

No need of Viagra in force
as Roger's ancestors were Norse
(and vikings were known
for getting a bone) -
his resume says, 'Intercourse.'...

Dawning on me slightly
is a twilight whose pinks are breathless
Leaning on me in a nurturing way

Dancing toward me now
is a forest faerie who seems rather restless
Preening with a satisfied grin

Dreaming in my rem state
I am in awe, amused and besotted
Loving the heaven of my imagination...

Jealousy eats at me, masticating my miserable flesh,

each time I see your opulent smile it takes yet another bite,
chewing slowly savoring and seeking my heart to enmesh

. . .as visceral emotions move slow through molasses midnight.

A an and an a
both besotted beguiled
care careened carelessly
devilish d doted dangerously
envy exploded evil evolved
for fate faked future fates featuring fatalities
gradually giggles gone
Happiness halted hope honestly harmed
I ill imagine images imaginary
just judge jest jump justify
Kick knee kill keep
labouring lets laugh less lastly...

My heart aches once more
For a lover who has gone
Giving their amour 
To another someone 
Whom takes a name but mine

My throat chokes again
As I begin 
To speak of your name 
But this you win
The trophy of my besotted silence 

My tears stream one last time
In order to forget 
The subject of my rhyme 
A lover, a memory, a regret 
And here I sigh....

when i see your eyes
i hear thunder
your heartbeat shakes the earth

the trees bend in the stormy air
the clean scent of ions flow
as those eyes turn to me

frozen in place 
enchanted by your scent
i dare not move
for this gaze besotted
for this gaze enchanted

in your stare i hear thunder
your hair moves in slow motion
in the will of the wind.........

Basically,
     bashful
     brownish
     brazen
     bugs
     besotted
     by
     bubbling
     blood
     browse
     between 
     bedsheets…
     best
     brief:
     better
     banish
     before
     bedtime;
     beware
     body
     bites!

A mountain of flesh was howling in singularity
                       Time was besotted with space
                          Space besotted with time
                 Hellhound of eternity and omniscience 
            On your face Life, death, and living were etched
    In dark lair slit-eyes flashed, mother earth screamed and retched
                        In dark lair eggs were hatched....

UNWOUND
Sex n interest is a state of mind,
the better the tease the harder it climbs,
conversation puts it down,
distraction men have found,
it breaks the concentration,
spring unwound,
unwanted relaxation,
frowns,
so close your ears and hear her not,
concentrating hard as what?
slipping sliding till she's besotted,
sweet loving from a time forgot
fills the imagination.....

the stars flow across the midnight sky
like diamonds in black cloth
the light of the moon glints your eyes
as i caress you cheek

eons pass like the wind between our faces
the tallgrass moves with slow motion
in the will of the breeze....

i am drawn to you, like daybreak in my heart
ever gentle, ever loving
your soul entwines with mine
they swirl in this galaxy of besotted stardust.......

Light blue tears on parchment, how softly my pen 
weeps for you. Ribbons of verse bind, pull tightly 
on oozing emotions. Devoted words lie embalmed 
in true affection, line upon line of adoration. I am 
besotted in ink, controlled by a heart that fills my 
page. My pen lies aside my love, my dreams, my 
day and night and what you are to me. Your kisses 
are the words planted and my future granted....

Breathing deeply relaxing the chaotic mind and soul
Stretching to mother nature besotted in the spiritual energies
Mind empty focussing to the enchantment of tradition
Folding bodies flexing into beautiful mind taking positions
Free from anger mind resting from all those everyday thoughts
Meditation unexplainable as one becomes so free
Ending so refreshed feeling the pureness again in me

You make me happy
Happiness I have never felt before
A blissful love of life
A place I call home

Unexpected love
the best kind to find
catches you by surprise
doubt, not in my mind

To start a life with you
All I want to share
I scare myself endless
I sabotage things so fair

This one I pray, no
Let me wonder around the foreign land
Eager for more, Weary of the outcome
Besotted all the same....
