Honey..
sweet taste lingers,
savored on my lips and tongue. 
Surely I'll never get enough 
of you.

Traditional roast turkey
only way for me,
with old fashioned bread dressing
and mashed potatoes.
Rich gravy over 
each savored
bite.

Self-flagellated sinuses
Sandpaper swallowing
Sinuous snot surmounted sneezes
Strange sultry speech sounds sexy
Stupid sickness
Saturdays should be savored....

Smoked ribs cooked to perfection,
Slow with anticipation.
Like love, is much better savored –
Than quick hot cooking.

Once tasted…never quenched
Thirst, hunger, curiosity and scent
Some born of need
Some born of greed
But all once savored
…are never quenched…

Red roses fragrance
The evening atmospheres, fields
oxygen savored

There once was a boy who could not chew
Yet he especially savored beef stew
  He’d just bite and swallow
  As taste buds lay fallow
Smell’s as good as taste ~ Pinocchio knew...

 Country Roads

Sandy, soft, sacred soil savored
Calm, cool, canopied, carefree place
Picturesque painting a panacea
Luminous, luculent road lumbering home

spent sun sets slowly
scarlet shine saturates sky…
stunning scene savored

Breathing, balmy whispers flow across our cheeks
Coaxing, wayward senses spiral deep
Savored, magic's enchanted powers thrill
Toward infinite surrender, as chaotic hearts
Engulf our tryst of taboo dreams...

Coffee the staple in my world
Over the top in aroma
Finding a good cup is hard to do
Figure that one with brands a plenty
Every ounce is savored as it  slowly goes down.

Coffee you indulge this wanting tongue.

His poetry moves me.

It stirs my soul.

Brings out emotions

I try too often to suppress.

Like a fine wine

It needs to be savored,

Appreciated for it's worth.

His poetry moves me.

It stirs my soul....

lovers 

eyes lock, hands touch

as they reach for menus

moments of electric tension

conversation, drinks sipped, dessert savored 

inevitable shady scene

impugnable action

souls never part

lovers    ...

Steam rises
“old faithful”
Percolates once again

The cup has character
Not charm

It has earned its place
Borne the days
Arrival

Wept
In oily tribute
At their passing

The brew contains
An oily rainbow

Its soothing solace
Savored

Reader Rabbit

Toward the end of a book,
we tend to speed up, 
in anticipation of the climatic finish. 

Yet sadly, 
the build-up...
was the part we savored, 
on the perfect path
to the right...
final, 
and everlasting
word(s).

The beginning....

I ate a piece of chocolate;
It was dark and hit the spot,
So I savored it quite slowly
And enjoyed it quite a lot.

There are some who splurge in secret,
Sneaking sweets in utter stealth,
But I eat my chocolate proudly
‘Cause it’s helpful to my health!...

Weathering Storms
By Miracle Man
6/3/2023

On the sea of life some tempest I’ve endured,
But a safe place awaits me, of this I’m assured.
I’ve weathered some storms and none were savored,
but I feel I’m blessed and am highly favored.

COMMON SCENTS

Sweet goosebump tinge
of distant rain
such hope imbued
on nature’s whispered breath
and dirt, soft earth
awaiting to be turned
savored
salt air afresh
on tongues of breaking waves
the aromatic nuances
of her

Went to a deli
And piled way up high
Was the sandwich I ordered – 
Pastrami on rye.

I slathered on mustard
And savored each bite
Along with a pickle,
The sour just right.

If you’re feeling hungry
I’d urge you to try
(In a real New York deli)
Pastrami on rye....

Some Secret Service Agents indiscreet

   Savored the charms of ladies of the street

      They angered Obama

         Now they must face momma

            This is when they will really feel the heat

Sept morn before the dawn
trees sleep, the dew weeps
autumn’s chill, really no thrill
leaves floating, grounds coating

anticipation resting, yet temps testing
winter’s voice, will have its choice
time on the wheel, still left to feel
warm days savored, fall still flavored...
