My life, my love, moments lasting, making memories, lessons learned, I listen most leisurely, methodically, meticulously, light-heartedly, laughing magnanimously....

pulling me gently
into a quagmire
not in a quicksand way
but slowly 
methodically
sneakily
steadily
until I disappear
into wet cement
forgetting
I ever
was...

Listen to the water
as it flows harmonically
over rocks methodically
I'm in a symphony.
In the mist of mother natures 
grandest imagery.

I can no longer go here or go there;
My heart disallows me.
Unless, you command it differently.
Methodically, anxiously, my will goes to waste.
I cannot do without you.  
My heart is yours, indefinitely....

little sparrow in
the tree tweeting twilighting
nesting on a  limb
~
meandering so
methodically glows bright
settles lit sparrow
~
sitting on the tree
morning light shines light
on sparrow broad chest

You're my sweet bunny
I see your nose is runny
Here, drink some honey



Spider crawls on sink
Slowly, methodically
Eyes, that quickly blink



Sun, opens its eyes,
As tears fall from the wet skies
Flowers don't ask why

filigree webbing
paper delicate
spider’s influence

spun into the night
proudly holds her own
against elements

lunch is served daily
sorry flying things
spider’s masterpiece

daintiest structure
methodically built
takes on thunderstorm

filigree webbing
genius builder
spider eats tonight...

Samba Rhythms resonating through the jasmine hedges,
while lads and lasses sip fruity drinks with colorful umbrellas
in them,
The natives hustle to the samba rhythms, 
exchanging partners methodically,
The synchronicity is enchanting,
A night of frivolity and gaiety,
in a forgotten war torn country.........

Marine metropolis,
manatees moving methodically,

maiden mermaid muses,

magnetic, masculine, mystical,
masters melodious mellow maritime music,

my mission- meeting mesmerizing,
mysterious, mischievous,

sanguine pillars of
fabricated strength
leaning on the altar
of gregarious breath
brown dogs are drinking
pages of history written
by the winners of deceit
division is unholy
they are the masters
turning people into enemies
race cast creed color and we
are brainwashed methodically
dogs here are too smart
for those sugar coated
poison...

confusing tensions
psychopathic maladjustments
forbidden love
in sequestrated caves

imminent war of thoughts
methodically organised
what is a sonnet
true discrimination of
shocking truths
mental equipoise
singing birds under the
carpet of a bleeding heart
pastures of inhibited love
meadows of unfilled longings
religion is philosophy
of action...

His ability to do several things at once 
Was one of the qualities she loved about him 
Today he was watching a Burt Reynolds movie 
While playing a game of computer chess 
The computer gaining a momentary advantage 
Did not seem to bother him at all 
Always thinking at least three moves ahead 
He slowly and methodically reached over 
Lowering the chess computers IQ 700%...

Mankind's finite days,
as minute grains of sand.
Methodically exit the hourglass,
That God possesses in hand.

Mankind fathoms not hours,
nor discerns time of day.
Nor perceives what God,
has chosen as parting way.

But when hourglass is empty,
and judgment day's at hand.
excuses then, will not subsist,
Nor will God grant more sand.

Ecclesiastes 11;3 ...

Forgiving Isn’t Forgetting
Written: by Tom Wright
7-25-2016

We’ve oft times said that we forgive,
But reflections, we frequently retain.
We methodically bring back to relive,
As if emblazoned within our brain;

Hopefully, forgiveness comes in time,
For things which we hold in reserve;
While we feel subjected to a crime,
That’s often better than we deserve.

Almost naked except
A dangling Marlboro cigarette  
 
Expertly stroking his lover
Fingers caress a slender body
 
Methodically engulfing aroma
The sweet smell of sex
 
Swollen lips surround
Waves of rapture quiver
 
Eyelashes and eyeballs flutter
Sinking into oblivion
 
Head bobbing like a pendulum
Savoring lingering lust
 
Inhaling smoke languidly
Sucking every undying toxin...

Age methodically creeps up on us,
Until productive years seem spent.
Leaving us to recall fond memories,
Like some useless old malcontent.

The things that once delighted us,
Have scurried from our eye's view.
Now with health issues we're mired,
And our good days seem all too few.

We put off things until we retire,
Reasoning then we'll make more time.
Numbering opportunities we let pass,
Discovering late, we're past our prime....

(Rhyming Senryu)

Cold and careful hands
Dismantle love’s elements
Methodically

The eye detecting
Fragile fractured copper threads
Dispassionately

Concentrating fire
Melting metal, soldered wire
Mending circuitry

Testing, one, two, three
The current, interrupted
Now set flowing free

How beautifully
Cool flux and hot flame restore
Conductivity

Love’s analogy
Motorcycle maintenance
Electricity

Joyfully so, she seems to be my (our) biggest fan.
Absolutely wonderful, Jan's embodiments symbolize her awesome agenda.
Never does it fail, Jan shares free hugs—special gifts—maximum encouragers—orchestrated methodically scratching Souper's records, performing as our (my) poetic DJ.

Autumn shrugs off summer 
like Alzheimer's shrugs off
wit, slowly and methodically;
purposeful and nonchalant. 
This dire deterioration
welcomes dank darkness,
chilling and finite, 
long-winded and overbreathed.
October winds shake and stir
the very foundations of our
civilizations, and rock the 
metaphorical boat of blissful
nesciance; eventually capsizing
the bleeding vessel, until its
veins run dry with
suffocation....

The world's grey. Slowly, methodically,
Feathers from colorful birds have been burned.
Sheep in a fog on a snowy mountain.
One man thought uniformity equaled
Superiority, ugly furor.
Their ashes floated down all around us
There's no color left in this sooty world.
Beauty's palette swirled with color beckons.
Diversity screams for a slight foothold.
The heart just whithers in colorless worlds.

grizzly grazing a meadow
pretending not to notice the dancer
wind shifting-it stands horribly- tall
sniffs the air
pivots nonchalantly
methodically swaggers
appetite enhanced
moment ignited
by the ancient guide 
it charges-bloody eyed
stomping the meadow blossoms
it swats at the dancer
again -again and again
as she flits toward the cliff
brute tumbling over 
to its cold slag death
ballerina dancing
over the screaming crag...

Nostrils flared like a horse ready for a race
The stare intense with desire
Prancing she crosses the floor
Sending mental messages
Hoping the universe will decode
Interpret and methodically decipher
Creating  sweet serendipity
unstoppable through time
Playfully with protruding lips
with hypnotic swing of hips
Blushing of the face
batting of sultry eyes
She struts across the dance floor
Picking  a partner of choice.

True love is not a fleeting thing, a fading flower
To be tossed aside when it begins to wither,
But revived, replenished, methodically nurtured,
Restoring the natural beauty it had in its beginning.
Comes the time when lustful romancing subsides,
Matures, perhaps, is the better word to explain—
But the foundational love remains to be watered
And fed, overshadowing the disappointments
That come when we share our life with another.
