Here lies my body well rested;
 The day is done and so am I.
And might I say  that God is sly;
 Tis not the rest I requested.

will you touch the bare pillow
where my head rested next to yours
and imagine me by your side

The brown of the earth
caked on my hand
filling ridges too
where tools had rested
all morning
waiting forever
for the lunch whistle

Premium Member The Rock

Under dappled light
It waits off a country road, 
A short bike from home.

On it rested a boy's world.
Grown up now, my rock I seek.

It was on that quiet night, while all the roses rested and reposed 
that the angels appeared in the Chalice of winter's bright lit snow

She stands before me bare-breasted 
My zest, in her, is not vested
She's in my mirror
As though a horror
Stares as a witch, not well rested...?

abiding in silence without effort
wherein movement of our thoughts is rested
is the magic causing bliss beats to spurt
by power within us by God vested

I realized beauty is truly in eyes of the beholder.
I also realized for him I am willing to be bolder.

Something

you've touched something
something that hasn't been touched for some time
deep inside it rested, sleeping, waiting
it stirs and stretches
coming to life

Creativity

God created Earth in six days and rested.
From when he resumed, He never rested.
There's no end to creativity; nor creation!

There was a woman on an island,
who was tired from writing and rhyming!
She put down her pen,
till she felt rested again 
in calm, in peace, and in silence...

consuming his every breath

Exspectans Amorem

Sun glanced through the leaves
She sat there, bare, on the rock,
Sleek palms rested between the thighs
Catching the flutter of the butterflies,
Calmly waiting for the hawk.

Sighting

Blaze. Awakens
me. Again it was snow
on the black lamppost.

Resuscitate
me when the moon dies.
Day starts bleeding.

Voice rested.
The little yollow bird has
left for new home.

A Wasted Heart

I put my heart into your hand

It rested there, quietly waiting

But your love never came

My heart lay and grew cold

Now I do not know you

And my heart is lost to me.

Last Night

Sleek with a thick physique,
intrigued by her mystique.
Cherry red cheeks,
meek,
this caramel freak,
rested underneath
my satin sheets.

Starting and Beginning To See

Starting and Beginning To See

Am starting and beginning to see,
Glad it had been you and not me;
My coffee  perk,
While you work,
And rested and better off I will be.

While Resting On the Ground

While Resting On the Ground

We had rested in grass on the ground;
From Trump had heard another sound;
Wouldn't you know;
We told you so;
Lying there was lie  that we had found.

Untimely Rising

There once was a man in tight blue jeans.
Whose woman was covered in sunscreens.
     She rested her slipper	
     on top of his zipper.
Which caused a quick swelling of man veins!!
