Soft Encounter

The morning sunlight
And night's breeze
Hit me in the face
Like the way
Eileen hit me between
My bones
And my skin.

Chance Encounter

I saw an old friend
I haven't seen in ages
On a streetcorner
We promised to stay in touch
Then went our separate ways

For many years thought extinct
A lost friend, rediscovered
An African encounter
Ah, Dodo – it’s you

When you finally
Pass a phase of character,
You soon encounter
Someone all the same as you
Were before who you are now.

Woke seeing her face
Painted on ceiling panel,
After encounter
Of that near absolute death,
I know she saved me from it.

lies in watch at the window...
a vagrant, strange pet
approaches from the outside...

Awkward

A clumsy encounter

Where words fail

Keeping a distance

With those present

Abetting a slow

Riveting

Demise of dignity

Fleeting diversions
Cross the common of life.
Our chance comments often
Indelibly impress,as casual
Acquaintance fade into the void.

Vision of Paradise

Splendid vision of heaven...
Hummingbird ,flower
and little girl...
Poetical encounter morning 
in the garden
or in the backyard....!

Notions and Sentiments Following a Somewhat Salacious Encounter

Painted were her eyes, 
Somewhat azure and syphilitic, her heart;
And when I got home I realized, 
I'd just fallen in love with a tart(!)

Out alone at last
Seven, and rapt in lush green
Seeds of verse were sown
Yellow butterflies, hued blooms
On our new street of fireflies

The Encounter

That awkwardness
Unexpected,
Unthinkable 
But hey it's the moment,
Besides in the latter is a good story to tell and laugh at...

I would much rather risk having an encounter with a cougar or grizzly bear,
as opposed to being alone in the wilderness and cross paths with a stranger.

Premium Member A Sad Fact of Life

One sad fact of my life that I have observed regularly to this date,
is that most people I encounter seem to have a strong need to hang on to their hate.

Sometimes the lines between love and hate,
Are so fine they just fade away.
A chance encounter... chance, or fate,
Has made your name each word I say.

Today if you encounter someone dealing with grief or sadness
may it be part of your plan…
