Short Engenders Poems

Love is special in so many ways
It keeps you happy constantly
It cleanses a bitter soul
It lends you wings to soar
It makes you feel good
It transcends time
Engenders 
Immense
Joy

Lingering glance more than circumstance,
Endearing gesture not mere chance.
Corresponding smile engenders romance;
Suggestive movements invite dalliance.
 
An enticing scent that permeates,
An enchanting voice that resonates,
An alluring personality that levitates,
A tender feeling that stimulates....

The passionate fever your wicked charm
engenders courses through my veins
like a rolling stream! It seems so effortless;

at it's climax, it trembles my body and soul.
I can't explain this hold you have on me.
Oh heaven above, may it never release!

The crowd broke into fisticuffs - 
I heard it on the news -
For Middle Eastern politics
Engenders different views.

It happened in Times Square
Where brawlers gathered for a fight.
Pro-Israel or Pro-Palestine,
Each sure their side was right.

Such protests do not shock me -
All my life such things I’ve heard.
But fisticuffs? What did surprise
Was that old-fashioned word....

Favourite songs pull your strings
As the melody in your mind rings
They are something to remember
As your melancholy engenders
A longing for the good times 
You are forever entwined 

Particularly when a loved one’s favourite comes along
It brings a tear to your eye in the strains of song
These heart felt thoughts will linger still
And you will know how to feel.

When hate tries to uproot
        the seed love has planted,

it stays deeply embedded in the soil;
         growing and flourishing.

    When hate engenders drought,
              love falls like rain

       The panacea to hate is love.

A Foggy Morning

By Elton Camp

All was clear when I went to bed
Just now, I discover it’s there

Stealthily overnight it crept in 
Its whiteness obscures the scene

Familiar shapes are blurry now
A feeling of peace it engenders 

Even the birds have ceased chirping
Silver orbs adhere to a spider’s web

Too soon, the sun will break through 
To restore the world I once knew

A moment of serenity will be past
What a shame it was unable to last...

A rare gift 
That gets one through 
The most rugged 
of life's terrains.
A medicine
For the soul
Worth more than 
the most expensive gem;
More valuable than 
Material things.
Oftentimes 
used to cushion 
to soften
emotional blows.
a wondrous gift 
that engenders 
Laughter 
and makes all 
that is wrong 
with this world 
right again.
It reminds us 
Not to take ourselves 
Or life seriously; this rare gift, 
A sense of humor
