from the face of mountain
— waterfall of pleasantries

Bright blue summer skies,
Lush forests and mountain air,
Pleasantries of life,
Yet I need you, else they are
Vacant experiences...

Dreams are made of hope.
Fantasy and pleasantries.
Imagination
All these released as you sleep
Chase them, catch them, if you can.

A trocities crucifying unborn generations
R uinous idealisms exchange catastrophic pleasantries...

pleasantries of sleep
grandson covered head to toe…
meanwhile toss’n turns grandma
open door with light too bright
‘is the temperature just right.’...

Supernatural

Beams dazzle

Illustrations shape



A character speaks

Pleasantries

Quakes of fear occur


Lullabies eject

From her lips

As she pirouettes


Such color spectrums

Radiate

To mold a queen...

unrepentantly
love
stopped by
today
to say hello---
again---
with baited caution
she was let in
and
we locked on to each other
without shame
exchanged pleasantries
and agreed 
to give it another try---...

And I am captivating pleasantries
 I am optimistic
 In my realities 
I am comforted by my comforter made of cotton silk
Etched in gold
My blanket embraces me 
and I am comforted

Look at the way at how you treat your lady
She seems bitter and confused
Darkness sadly surrounds her
As a result of your abuse
She put her trust in you
And you have let her down
All of her pleasantries
Have turned into a frown...

hello
                        meet, welcome, 
          waving, applauding, beckoning
howdy-do, pleasantries, sendoff, sayonara
          forsaking, bemoaning, grieving
                        heartfelt, teary
                             goodbye

The sun shows its face
After the rain storm fades
A rainbow makes its presence known
As it bows it’s head to the sun
Whispering of things so good
For there needs to be rain falling 
To grow the green of sunny pleasantries 
The rainbow heralds wonders made.

Watch people go about their day
  What pleasant things they say: 
Mutter, grumble, moan and gripe
  Curse and condemn, carp and snipe

Something to prove, on the run, in the groove
  Going nowhere fast, see ‘em move 
Life’s delights make no impression
  Pleasures lost ~ to incomprehension...

promiscuous pear prunes
saucy strawberry slew
nosing nimble nude
gaunt gasps grew
lanky lust lurches
outruns vying verge

felon fruits featured
pulse flavors punctured
aiding sassy structure

moaning machine's pleasantries
slays saucy stances
faddy fruits fling

tasty taste trained
clutches emotion's crave.

Pleasantries. 

A memory
unveils
of a star watch
in the badger state.

Much awry
in our 
peaceless world.

Venus,
Morning Star,
Sun Greeter,
Early Morning Friend.

She made us feel alright,
each
arrival of light.

Sing me a song about September.
She soothes me with her syllables.
She warms me like a blanket.
She fits me like a glove.
Sing me a song about September.
Let her lyrics be bathed in pleasantries.	
Let her tone be, calming, poised, and serene.
Let her cool the summer flames of my soul.

It's tough for me to handle that 
These memories that distract
May soon be just scratches 
On the corner of your mind. 
  
It was such a big deal to me, 
The twitterpated pleasantries. 
You've got the right idea 
in letting go. 
  
Personally, I'd rather be free. 
But, my soul sails not a sensible route. 
  
No, my soul sails not a sensible route....

Show me the private garden of your mind, 
I'd promise not to cross the line

I'd leave my soul for you to keep, 
Keep your voice in my head on repeat

Pour those pretty thoughts, 
And I'd breathe in to taste every words.

I'd mask away pleasantries, 
Let me wash away your worries,

I'd watch each sunset in those eyes,
Just to love you in every sunrise....

Beguiled, I dash out in the rain
While you, 
yes, you catch my embrace--
Lips trembling 
on a night of leaves...
The  petals winging through fine mist
new love-talk drones, 
as kiss enchants
In flamed surrender, I reply:

'Though pleasantries begin to gush;
O halt your language; let actions work.'

We went through woods to find
Our pleasantries of mind;
We lovers of forgotten things.
There nestled in the wild,
Sat picket fence and fig.
And on a dancing twig,
A boy found a dragonfly.
Others hovered nearby,
But this one did not fly
When gently he stroked its wings.
Oh the joy that summer brings;
To touch a dragonfly
In a place long untouched by child....

Venomous eloquence, 
so polite and yet cold;
Pleasantries are plastic  
tone sometimes mistaken;
Quiet not dramatic;

Venomous eloquence,
answer’s already known;
Words are a figurehead;
Each one is meaningless, 
your heart infiltrated;

Venomous eloquence  
it leaves your throat sticky;
Esophagus left trashed,
innards being spit up;
Poisonous and polished....

.                 quaking thunder          
                  rattles the dish cupboard...
                  I fetch the candles
                       

                  lightning flashes
                  chasing the cat from the room...
                  Scrabble in the dark
