Cheeks & bosoms all had a place
in sidelong glances in passionate embrance

Flawless gaze
Glances in the clashes
Whips in your lashes

Premium Member The Sidewalk Glances at Me

  The steady beat of rain on my head
    I glance at the sidewalk
    It glances at me
      bone dry as can be ~ 
   Are we alive or dead, verily
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Big Dog Phobia

I notice you casually crossing to the other sidewalk
sly underhanded glances with your pinched lips ~
a biped's loud silent growl that says don’t come near me

Pathetic

Rain pummels my soul
beast holds dear, weakening me
Looks of anguish, anger me
Impatience runs through
as their dejected glances
burn. I am weak in their eyes.
Form: Sedoka

Glances meeting changing lives
a look that draws another soul
giving fresh ideas, new incentives
pulling one away from hell-hole
filling life and more with resole

Premium Member The Courtship

The first shy, eve-avoiding glances
   Cautious, desire pops up, looks around
Unexpectedly, eyes meet; cheeks flush crimson
   Could you... Would you... Could we...

  an eyebrow raised, a bare shoulder appraised

  on alabaster marble hunting grounds

Two Rabbits In the Yard

at arm’s length
glances cast at me
big brown eyes
wet grass glistens
they hop along brush
unspoken conversations
words unsaid
sounds of nothingness
the morning
summer calls

Divulgence

I confess I convincingly committed contemptible crimes
Beguiling bewitching beauty beyond my bona fide bounty
Gazed galvanic glances guiltily
Thus glamorized God's grave gluttony.

Premium Member Patient Treated Like Meat

doctor barely glances at patient
nurses take the most time with her
poking and prodding needles
patient treated like meat
hospital visit
cold stark ugly
in stage four
cancer
sad
Form: Nonet

under aegis

I see the shadows following the darkness
hue fading under aegis
The last toppling of the wine
I see the glances in their rain
whose faces that can touch their reflection

Flower Love

How the flower
Bobs and weaves
Sharing tea
With some bees

How the colour
Nods and sways
Breezy coolness
Sunlight rays

How the scent
Softly dances
Perfumed nose
Loving glances
Form: Rhyme

Rehab

Rehabilitation from taking second and third glances,
From being enamoured with rust
And letting love turn to dust
Insisting it’s the real thing.
I’m learning real love can’t be downloaded.

Premium Member Flirty Red Cocktail Dress

black spiked high heels
updo sparkly rhinestone comb
approving glances

in a party mood
flirty red cocktail dress
hard to look away

too much alcohol
unusually frisky
mistakes are now made

Confession

I admit I approximated akin adultery
Abusively allowing my abominable abstinent eyes
To absorb abstract,alluring beauty around me
Gazed galvanic glances guiltily
Thus glamorized God's grave gluttony.

Entering the World

I open the front door
The sun cascades over the trees
And glances off my BMW

One press of the button
The door opens gracefuly
The window slides down quitely
Its time for work
As I enter my world
Form: Narrative

Hollow Drums

Disco burnout,
fever rampant erosion

Empty glances,
mirrored hollow drums

Bleeding, starving,
passive alertness

Madeup, putdown
—treadmill run
