Dwells not in my lexicon
Your cast beguiles me...

Is found in the lexicon
Politicians
Are deprived of it today
They want money and power...

When I caught the Mexican
Who’d run off with my lexicon
He said are you a Texican?
It seems he couldn’t read...

"You must increase your lexicon"-
I told my wife. She answered-"Yes!"
And soon she  added a silicon,
To her enormous breasts....

Read about limerick
They call me maverick
Surfing for words and lexicon
Those rhyme and flow head-on
And here is my lyric

I make myself 
                probing being
                               and find world as life’s dictionary

“Gosh golly darn” we don't use today
It really depends on the lexicon of the day
Ain't nothing wrong
Language is strong
A sign of the times like wearing a toupee...

Approaching the lexicon
of what’s still unsaid,
My words beg acceptance
now silent unread

Inside there’s a freedom
once crossing the line,
unspoken confessions
—unfrozen in rhyme

“Milking the situation” is from a long-ago age
“Milking the cows” from our agricultural heritage
Some phrases hang on
Though some are long gone
Some remain in our lexicon though we've turned the page...

Taylor Swift spins stories, her songbird-like sensations,
an underrated pop princess with poetical persuasions.
Her complex lyric lexicon, like a folklore luminary,
invites the listener to see themselves as a fellow visionary....

That word we use to fill voids
in our emotional lexicon,
that short, sweet sounding syllable,
well-intentioned and lofty
- and sold, at dear price of course -
that is not love.
It's not enough word
to encompass the whole,
but it will have to do....

With this cup in my hand 
I quaff a drink of deception
This is ridiculous 
Pitty party should not rest in my lexicon 

Unanswered phone calls while the moon smiles
Stars shine bright, while my soul is tinted
Happiness can't be bought,
but it damn sure can be rented...

My eyes 
Are covered with ice. 
That’s why 
They are of the colour of the sky. 

My right
Is to be beside
You but
You do not understand that.

My light
Will be kept inside.
I’ll hide
My soft heart behind my steel mind.

I won’t
Be again a dolt.
There’s no
More the word “love” in my lexicon....

Lost in the lexicon  of subtlegafe 
dumbconfonded at the the break of day
Watching the smiles from the well wishers
a mass of contradiction ensures
A vexation for the night
brief excursions to be stet
stretching time higher than the cornflowers
back bent the best he could do

On a narrow street of Singalong
  spreads and banners hang along
Wreaths of subjects and icon
  flourish within the alleys of lexicon.

As acid waters plunge, 
  dirt and dust lounge.
Tin roofs clang, rants and rats run.

Not all streets boom with a bang
  Only in the street of auld lang syne....

Have you seen what is coming to our lives?
A veritable cornucopia 
of delights
   Angels of all kinds
   Kings 
   Queens
Dancers, acrobats, performers
    If life asks you to be happy
    then be happy!
A lexicon of delight 
    Awaits you at the 
end of the road
    a grey sky 
can never destroy 
      the sunlight within...

Sticker in a taxi
NO BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
STAYS WITH ONE MAN
Black, bold on rainbow

I shift the phrase
Like tiles in Scrabble
On the rack of my brain
Trying to spell SENSE

On the dashboard
I spell and check into
The lexicon of truth
The adage is a winnow
With windows in it

I retrieve my tiles
And note FALLACY
In the files...

Limpid lake blue eyes of lapis lazuli
Light like luminous lifeless lucent moons
Those lovely lively lustrous luscious lips
Taste like leathery little lingonberries

Yet, those loathsome lethal lavender pink lips
Lacked my long-lasting ladylike interest
While that ludicrous lawless lackluster brain
Literalized a lexicon of lazy lowlives...

On top, the crowd will chant your praises 
Attention is the title to your theme song 
No worries of disapproval cross your mind
Up on the podeum to influence the people of today
Tomorrow is not in your lexicon of this moment 
Time has strengthened your global grasp 
Crowds worshipping every dropped syllable 
Every fumbled adjective is golden...

I stared at this blank page for days on end
in futile scrabble to discover words
that would transform this cold, white emptiness
into something filled with love and meaning.
But pen, hand, and lexicon in my head
could not provide the message from my heart.

Understandably,
we were worn out with love,
romantic movies gave you hives,
love poetry often made me gag.

We had this thing going on,

love and hate had mingled,
ennui and elan had given birth
to a redeemed vision
of that far too simple word.

When we kiss now,
that lip-to-lip caress
has exponentially evolved,
into a whole lexicon
of newfound endearments....

Some writers are a lexicon
an educational experience
Some writers are simplicity
reaching far and wide

Some play your heart strings
or tickle your sweet spot
Some grab evil and send chills running
then make me sleep with the lights burning!

**Thanks to all the poetry soup group for the support and well wishes!
Your fine writing makes me seek out what is new everday!...
