how may mind distinguish 
nuances of heart’s emotes
the caress
the cocoon
the nuzzle
of love in love with love 
engaged between lovers

Step around the bend
Look at what’s going on there
You will see sadness
Two people engaged in harm
Of each other’s broken heart

Tenderness sensually arouses my love.
Leaving our warm lips engaged, entices more.

Mind Engaged and Caged

Ode to Maya Angelou 

My mind often may be engaged;
When I found out it was caged,
Time devote;
Poems wrote;
I became furious and enraged.

Unbetrothed

Seduced 
by what I hadn’t done
Engaged
to what I’d never wed
Married
with vows I wouldn’t take
Divorced 
from what I couldn’t leave

(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)

My heart is too frequently engaged
In pursuits of the most frivolous kind,
Sometimes it runs away with itself
Leaves my mind lagging far behind.

Youthful Israeli embassy couple,
almost engaged,
gunshots fired in the May DC eve,
murdered sweethearts,
hate, it never pauses,
almost had hope,
shalom to the world. ~

Help Line 3

I phoned the incontinence help line today
To say “I’m Mrs. Brown, can you help me pray”
In the hope of having my condition assuaged
But try as I might it was always engaged

Legend is a philosopher,
Engaged in metaphysical thoughts.
Gains nothing from idleness,
Enjoys reading and praying.
Never make him angry,
Dent not his heart with betrayal.

A cat and a dog, marinated delight,
In a frying pan, they engaged in a fight,
Their sizzles did soar,
Mom kicked the pan, what a roar!
Dinner was ruined that unfortunate night!
