Short Delectably Poems

I met a young woman in Albuquerque
With reputation you could say was murky
I did not mind
For I did find
Her bedroom moves were delectably quirky...

I hope you turn magenta and hyperventilate
over the lines I wrote for you.
They’re delightfully exotic
and delectably erotic,
and I swear, I only mention
your name a time or two....

ice
girl
Arctic
conditions
Chicago blizzard
cheeks hardened by sheer cold of it
her hot pink coat warms up winter’s view delectably
Enticing crazies sneaky-peek-viewing her daringly underneath prying wives eyes...

Wanton and wild she whispers wizened
So delectably opaque she surrenders sated
Her fledgeling mind warbles tremblingly unblind
So altruistic so soothingly defined
Coloured adornment flames brilliantly in heat
So trembling and trying she walks until him she meets...

Come here was the motion
That rendered her helpless 
And placed her under a majestic 
spell

Quiet eyes, half parted lips 
Dampening like rose petals 
Waiting to collect It's first 
drops of morning dew

And a heart that flutters 
Like hummingbird wings 
As it delectably feasts 
Upon its precious nectar...

yearning for the soft touches
of your lips brushing against mine
under the lambency of this moon
reigning down on me this evening

kaleidoscope of january splashes
iridescence that reflects back
shimmers of starry eyed beams
secretly awakening the scope of dreams
enticing me to delectably crave
sweet kisses from your lips...

Is heaven a place where flowers always bloom?
Where fruit is delectably sweet,
And birds flitter in a celestial ballroom?

Is heaven a jewel crested mountain,
With silvery wispy clouds,
Raining ambrosial nectar,
From a majestic crystal fountain?

Is heaven the sounds of,
Beethoven, Brahms and Nat King Cole,
Or, is heaven not a thing,
But a aspiration that lives in the,
Chasm of one’s soul?...

It's only a dream
sweet and sensuous
delectably delicious
tantalizing and tempting to the taste
oh, to indulge in opulence
to revel and feel
the surreal
but...
it's only a dream

Only a dream within reality
such luxuriant love
is what legends are made of
embellished every one
exaggerated expression
but legends languish
in the ordinary 
no, it can't be real
it's only a dream

But I can dream.

Cat sticks up her nose,
Parades  puffed up,
Completely important

Aloof, 
Haughty,
Unaware of anyone else.

She has needs of her own,
And they are all-important.
Groomed to be queen, 

She
Is condescending,
and delectably cruel,
Tenderly ignoring her subjects

Prideful of the rabbit's remains
she lovingly decapitated a few 
minutes ago and left on the door
step of her unknown barefoot
servant, who is about to scream.

Me...

Small talk
Body Talk
Flirtatious glances
Beguiling smiles
Warm electricity
Passion tingling
Eyes that tease
Torment and tantalize
Desire on every breath
On every quiver of the lip
Rhythm of bodies craving
That erotic embrace
The delectably sublime
Act of seduction
