When roses seem as though blue whirlpools,
I find myself lost in their bloom....

I tasted of temptation
With a pinch of infatuation
A touch of captivation
And a dash of imagination
With heaps of fascination
And a sense of excitation
With this newfound jubilation
You’re my favorite fixation...

A river holds captive
the baroque colors of trees
that stand guard, honor.

Its joyous flow
travels under the umber bridge
whose reflection

forms an eye, open.
It is a pallette of Autumn,
a watercolor sky....

A beautiful woman
who has the power to transform my soul;
sweet captivation,
breathless enchantment, I lose my control;
spells suspend reason, 
a siren stare which I cannot withstand,
emboldened by love, 
filled with such longing when I hold her hand....

Our lips barely touch. 
I breath in the taste of you. 
You linger on the tip of my tongue. 
Softly brush the edges of my sentiment.
Near enough to touch yet out of my grasp.
Off limits. Forbidden.  Not allowed.
Futile sweet captivation.
I am utterly without cure....

A beautiful woman,

she has the power to transform my soul;

sweet captivation,

breathless enchantment, I lose my control;

spells suspend reason, 

a siren stare which I cannot withstand,

emboldened by love, 

filled with such longing when I hold her hand!...

Roses green, mauve and yellow,
one look, one touch turns me all mellow,
the fragrance, the delicacy,
the stillness among these,
a feeling of awe, captivation,
may divide the floral nation,
a glance, gives me a sense of great appreciation,
of the natural, beautiful, world at our fingertips....

Captivation 
Replication 
Reinforcement 
Of the demonstration 

Lying anger 
Silent quiver 
Noisy confessions 
Of what we never 
Had the guts 
To ever accomplish 
So we sit here 
Waiting for the end of it 

Reincarnation 
Of disintegration 
Is the reflection 
Of pride in our nation....

butterflies on blooms-
a tango with destiny
in daylight colors

lured from miles afar
in scented days of summer
as hues catch their eyes

the fields gone wild, and
beauty wings in the sunshine
'til the rose sunset

Intrigued..
Mesmerized by the beauty of eyes..
A deep trance..
Deeper then an ocean..
Astonishment and captivation..
Intense glare that speaks..
Speaks to the soul.. 

A magnetic electricity..  
Magical communications..

Intrigued by the fascination
Eloquently embraced by the depths of the soul..
The beauty of eyes..

An open window to the soul.....

Sharing 
what we have in common or delineating our differences through the medium of wrought words communicates a compelling narrative -
Captivation of beauty, 
passion of love,
kindness of heart, 
joy of happiness,
tragedy of tears, 
hope of healing, 
wit of wisdom -
the grand gamut of human emotions wouldn’t be shared if not for the language and vocabulary of Poetry....

Her gait strides past me with captivation
Nothingtheless howling with tranquility;
That tranquil soul lingers with inevitably.
The forcing blow left me in a billowing nation,
Pondering this thought ‘is this my revelation?’

The next unique soul has an intruding pace
In a decelerated motion unlike her peers.
Although the great wall of wind interferes,
Who could dare replace 
Our hearts embrace?...

I’m captivated by a verse from Paul:
take captive every thought that enters in
so that you might obey.
A cry is raised above the din;
hard pressed, I am assaulted, under siege.
To me! To me! I hear my lord and liege
and cast my eyes on him,
for when he’s standing tall, this world’s enticements pall.

Majesty of color, so rich, my words are still
     I gaze upon their beauty, their promise to fulfill
To elevate the senses, to make one lose the will
     To forfeit captivation by the violets on the hill

In regal blue and purple vein, to echo lover’s thrill
     The whites and pinks of innocence in symbiotic drill
In scarlet reds, a theatre of nature’s palette,  twill
     I think I'll know forever, the violets on the hill...

She peers at captivation
Moon swindling her frore heartbeat
Beams tearing the soul outward
She stands firm with ground

Wings sprout out, after ice thaws 
Whispering desolation
Whirls around her and she cuts 
The emotion out

Forgive her please, if you will,
For she only spreads her wings 
For those who can captivate
As well as this moon

Beauty of the writer within
Heaven’s wonder
Soulful finish
Words shout out
Journey
Distance from a far
Horizon to reach
Words after words
Sentences being the escort
Emotions bound
Heart expelling
Storyteller verse
Time with the need to write
Captivation delight
Quorum focused
Fed up
Need to say
Beyond the essay
Day and night
Sometimes writing while in a plight
Can’t be silent
Yet humble
Beauty within
Thick and then
No pretend
Finish at the end...
