Dandelion Bouquet
                     pursed lips gently and lightly blow  
                                                                    Summer drifts away

Sweating It

He spun the wheel,
no big deal there;
no real money.

In a short while.
that big smile of
poor Lyle vanished.

He pursed his lips,
Gripped his chips and
Took nips of gin.

ruddy trawlers creak 
as fire strummed whitecaps compose- 
seagulls lock their wings 
sage eyes, pursed in wry wrinkles 
squint toward salt misted shards

Premium Member Not Ever

there was
simply
no pleasing her
as she pursed
her lips
in judgment

I couldn't
remember
try as I may
seeing a smile
ever no never
light up her face

Softly Kissed

Like a Hushed whisper she was
breath held still
gently pursed lips
testing my will

Softly kissed upon a sigh
smooth lover by my side
fair hand upon my thigh
Promising smile pearly and wide

Cute Christmas Couplet

Waiting here patiently under the mistletoe,
Lips pursed expectantly, hoping that cheeks will glow.

Premium Member As I Was Walking In the Snow

Up ahead, a snowy trail
     The lambs and goats do bellow
And though I have thirst
     My lips will stay pursed
Because that snow is yellow

Premium Member Hopes Hiding

She tilts her head
Light lifts one brow
To say somehow
The time is now
Pursed parted lips
Eyes seeking stare
Hope slips somewhere
Loose looks cast down
Lithe lacey gown
Deep desires found

I AM ANGER

fists of cracked stone, palms turning leather 
words left to linger behind your pursed lips 
rise with my fever - who fastens the tether 
no second to consider your letters on ships
I reign to set fire your mind’s dreary weather

The moon held its finger and let it linger to his amiable full pursed lips and whispered: Zip the chatter earth is trying to slumber. 9/5/2019

Reminicing

YOU LAUGH WHEN YOU SHOULD CRY

REMINICING ABOUT TIMES GONE BY

REACHING OUT MY HAND YOU CLASP

 SHAKING FINGERS ENTERTWINE WITH MINE

HAZEL EYES FILLED WITH FEAR

MY NAME YOU BREATHE THROUGH PURSED LIPS

ON YOUR FORHEAD I PLACE A KISS

A KISS A KISS.

Hungry Dreams

Hungry Dreams

Whisky clouds 
and wet cigarettes, 
don’t you want to see? 
I can show you more
than is just
loose women 
and pursed lips, more
than dry mountains 
of cash, or brittle television,
I can show you 
your reflection 
in a puddle 
of...

hungry dreams..

Premium Member At Rest

Whose lips descend
     to mock the pursed recluse
Lives trembling mute hand
They who laugh refuse
     the strong arm
     of yesteryear.
His the pastoral symphony
     the "peace that passeth"
Through the acid heart
Unseared, and rest
     the troubled soul
     free of fear.

Come

Come, as the pale moon petals
Drift in the springtime's pearly dusk,
Come with arms wide open, ready,
Come with lips pursed up to touch.

Come, for life is like a fragile moth
Caught in the web of passing years,
And soon we two, so full of fire,
Will be like stones, gray and austere.

Trumpeter

TRUMPETER
Sandpaper comments,
Intolerant, indignant,
White House jihadist.

UN denier,
Mega-tweeter, Putin’s pal,
Friend of common man?

Hair like swan feathers, 
Lips pursed in a brassy kiss,
No friend of Dizzy.

What Reveille wakes
Billionaire soldiers of change.
Your new president.

In Tune

i turned the world off
tuned out to tune in

a dog was barking
a baby was crying
birdsong flew too high to hear

silence sang along

we became this thing

something spoken of
in the bible

somewhere in the nowhere
a fluttering sunlight
danced over

the pursed lips
of a sleeping buddha

Three Words

three words not spoken
dance lightly on the tip of tongue
swirling around inside of your mouth
gnashing teeth that won't let them out
pressing hard against pursed lips
exhausted from the fight to be set free
swallowed once more down your throat
washed down with a grain of truth
three words not spoken

Premium Member Climax Without End

our silent euphoric screams
of pure ecstatic delight
involuntarily streams
each day & night

bliss magnetism heightens
vivifying all nodes within
auric field brightens
in divine radiation 

eyes clenched and lips pursed
we spasmodically shudder
dance unrehearsed
rapturous wonder

Indecision

She pursed her lips to say adieu
And over her shoulder a blossom blew.

"Twas from a rose went blowing free
It's fragrance tease the air you see.

She loved the scent of a rose
Which touched her heart and tickled her nose.

She sat aside all thoughts to leave
Her lover had pulled the rose from his sleeve.

Premium Member Truth

Truth

What pursed lips  issue  unbiased  words?
When, their very shape gives birth to abstract form!
How, can pressed lips, making thin tight line,
Breathe, as cool and untainted symmetry?

What curled back lips, set to shout or scream,
Could whisper, sweet or novel uttering ?
No, not they
They, are not, the lips of Truth!

Slip-Wind

How easily words are lost in times slip-wind,
only recalled in dusks blanket, 
just before jealous sky
releases heavens jewels.

A sigh, held in stubborn ego's grip, struggling to escape
from behind lips; pursed, finally bleeds, 
only to fail at the closed door.

Nothing left to burn; memories lie like ashes
in a cold fire-place.

Premium Member Blackberry Moon

Quietly, feathered soles steal across fields
soft as Choctaw spirits' slipping shadows;
frescoed frost glazes summer remnants of pumpkin and persimmon.
The blackberry moon bends low,
pursed lips lingering and slow above Earth's alabaster face.
Past and present blend in one short span
when winter woos the autumn moon.
