Vibrations
Whip and lather

And intimate flavors – 
Singular or entwined,

Everything sounds!

By thoughts at the office too lewd

To have work less formal
Make casual Friday all nude

Harley dressed in elegant tuxedo.
Always in the mood for playful cuddles.
Prefers to lounge at home.

Behaviour

There was a lady called Fight, 
She used to talk faster than light; 
She started to fight one day, 
She forgot to talk in a formal way,
It was continued by day and at night.

Autumn’s nakedness
becomes robed in virgin snow
footprints prove there’s life,
yet the secrets of springtime
in hibernation till birth.

City's Sightseeing Pair

The hint, if not suspicion
That we, and this life
As something theatrical
Do indeed approach
Apart from formal dress ups
Party's, dance's, date's
Arose, one fairytale eve
Upstepping Love's coach.

Wrapping her velvet cloak around her formal tight

Knowing she will be left standing at the end of their day

Your Words Is You

Think about this
The food you eat
Is who you are.

The words you speak
Can kill and live
Careful you make.

An honored man
Think before take
His work is him.

Words meant formal
As talk to look
As pain is gain.

Dancing lightly

Formally formal
Gliding gracefully
Waltzing and bowing

Eyes flutter 
Not quite closed
Slipping into abyss

Whistling softly

Premium Member Cotton Laughter

Just
a bit 
too formal,
pearl taffeta 
or buttered chiffon;
I’m more into cotton,
something to belly laugh in;
Toes in the sea or a theme park;
Stained all over with a good time,
living in a tank top with rhinestone fringe.

Testing surprises? wrong passes
Friends on paper turned foes

Sartorial Oasis

I dress up every Sunday, 
but only in my mind
My coat and tie in tattered shreds,
the past and future bind

To celebrate in peasant rags,
as memory dances free
Imagining in formal garb
—what only I can see
