that lingering question…

lingering before fireplace

gone are spring’s blossoms
                          and summer’s lingering dusk . . .
        briskly comes the fall

Lingering and nourishing
Your lips are the dew of the grass
Shining liquid diamonds
After an irrefutable storm

Lingering languages bowing to lovely lies
Men’s mansions begging to murder morality
Falling flowers born to fraternize frailty

Hurt
Judgment
Not knowing
The full story
Treated unfairly
Without reason
Lingering
Around
Still

Fear casts a lingering shadow
On My vision of life stretching
Reverberating anxiety boiling in the
Kettles of My heart.

Black Widow

Heed the red hour glass 
Not her taut, tightly-spun web 
A widow maker 
Recluses in dark spaces 
Lingering for love-lost prey

families frolic
verdant landscapes sandy beach
daylight lingering
crickets chirping cheerfully
summer’s harbinger of change

Time and It's Truth- Poetry In Motion

Time's sheltering arms
.....Nestled my heart..........Within a room wrapped in
The lingering whispers of our love.

Nighttide Seductions

Waking up wet her loveliness lingering...
In pools of perfume gathering as, trickling
Her tongue tasting; thick, deep inside my lips.

Lovely Lily

Little lilly, lovely and lithe,
Lifting your lush head,
Lovely and light, lingering in the sun.
Laugh little lad, as you lift one.

Blue Seats

Stained blue seats lay docile
Awaiting to be snuggled 
They give it their all
to be very comfortable
But lingering heat kills it.

It seems to me my tears never seem to really stop lingering in the distance, free falling. Mist, cloud, and rain.

Premium Member An Obsession

A long psychology session
It's here he makes a confession
Reveals a long lingering obsession
His undies must be made out of hessian

Beautiful Moments, Painful Moments

The hurting verdure 
Has swamped my mind completely 
With lingering past 
Do not know how to endure 
Haunting union in meadows....

The Lingering Shadow

Still I recall,

Your warm and gentle embrace

Spring blooms no more

Your absence shadows my days

Silence flowers in my heart

Premium Member Maudlin

It seems like love,
the longing for love,
the lingering memory of love;
have never been far from my mind.
I think I was born maudlin.
