Sleep
To wait
for a dream
wonderous scenes
of piquant parfaits
with a blended relish
of creamy fruit and almonds
savoring and ready to eat
daunted by an ogre's appearance
who gobbles it down and awakens you

Succinct spicy sight
Piquant profound plight


Ample affluent ask
Rapture reaping rusks


Keeper knitting keep
Lovely laughter leaps


Enlist even ease
Sensuous slumber sleaze

I tasted you, then my body temperature rose sky high. 

        Now I crave you from top to bottom; my thirst unquenchable. 

Mouth-watering! You're the piquant sauce on my tongue!

Not a sophisticated treat as such
Salt’s savor holds a piquant, premium touch,
It adds an ample zest to any dish,
It cures and pickles anything you wish.

Its ambidextrous essence roars!
Just keep away from open sores.

A penumbra of lightning
grays your belly,
a huge melon
framed in leaded glass windows.

It grows
as we move in night's soft storm,
air piquant with rain, legs
petrified tree roots
in this patch of bed,
farmers in the night
      coming back to the land....

Face fancy free
Blossom bright be

Time treasure tale

Gather grand grooves


Calm charming cheer
Delight drives dear

born perfect, with an open fontanel
presence is in communion with the universe
then the devil in disguise, tells us that we are wise
so we begin mind games, penning heart’s verse
but that fickle heart is itself now in stupor
it takes us quite a while to realise...

involuntary volition
yet signals bondage
so we remind ourselves
of our piquant dilemma 
moment to moment 
thereby dampening
attention oscillation 
until boundaries blur
head and heart concur
and identity disappears 

all then that remains
Is awareness self-aware

Agog 

bemusement careened

dreamed enchantment

first gaze, hoped in jeopardy 

keeling lust made nectarine offer piquant...

quagmire’s ruse stirred 

torturing umber veins

Wife X-tenuations…

Yellow-bellied zilch!

I saw you on the lake.
You have a nice tan,
you glistened, wet, and smiled.
We waved halfheartedly, at a distance.
It was one of those 2020 moments.

We are distanced by discipline, 
desires sheltered in place. 
Mine are burned, as fuel,
for piquant eclogues or rest,
unused, like nuclear waste....

Prime pretty play,
Use unzips urge;
Laugh lovely lay,
Swift sensuous surge;
Etch ends empty.
Thrill touching think,
Oops opts only.
Indulge in ink,
Move much musings;
Pique piquant prime,
Unfurl upswing;
List luscious lime,
Sense subtle sketch;
Echo each etch.

Note how you feel,
Observe your heart;
Time helps you heal,
Ink words that start;
Opt for fond write,
Notice words come;
See that you cite.
Express clear sums;
Reach piquant thought,
Obscure yet true;
Trials feeling plots,
Indulge just you;
Charm flings the game,
Apt as vain blame.

I saw you with my ears; before my eyes could ever let you in
Felt you deep within my heart; before my fingertips could begin
Fully lost; I found a new spectacular, hopeful; kind of grin
My mind felt piquant; long before my lips ever sensed your soft skin
Your laughter; plays song melody, like an Ironwood violin
Ignoring my blindness; helped me discover your soul, deep within...

Sand castles
Seashore artifacts;
Seagulls for company


Morning fitness run
Winding jogging track;
Pulse of adrenaline


Salty sea breeze
Coconut palms sway;
Stray voices unfurl


Flower carpet
Yellow and red hues;
Jogging track surprise


Seaside horizon
Sun and sand and mist;
Nature makes pictures


Piquant conversations
Seafront gathering;
Message in skyline...
