now
       on hold
momentary 
           pleasure,
short-lived 
yet
          savoured again
      at our
leisure...

glint in your eyes stars ashamed
glittered my soul soon alarmed
gone like a breeze sweat returned
gory dreams savoured alone...

In Winnegan, on the Moselle
There's a story townsfolk will tell:
A witch came to dine
She savoured the wine
And cast a prosperity spell!...

As the path we take begins to waver
And we look to any for a favor
We might lose our way
But at the end of the day
It is those moments that we may savour

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill
a Prime Minister with many a skill.
Though his ideals by some were not favoured,
his victories by many were savoured.

Game of Life

When you have savoured the sweet flavour of success and victory
Will you weep as Alexander did the loss of worlds to conquer
Seek new purpose lest your life be one of unending ennui...

Trees green to yellow
Then comes orange and red
Fusion of colours
Halloween and Thanksgiving
Heralding festive season

Harvest time for all
Fresh fruits and veggies abound
Pumpkins rich and ripe
Ready to be hand decorated
Tricks and yummy treats savoured...

Calorie counting ceases
Decadent and so delicious
Every single crumb is savoured
Forget sharing, it’s all mine!

Going to start my diet … tomorrow!

This is not to you, rather for you
whether you take it for granted
or count it as a favour,
The flavours you brought in
every bit of I savoured,
enchanted and mistaken,
for god's sake never waivered,
and here lied the danger,
when I'm still here as a stranger....

Spine is a thirty three stringed harp
upon which God plays when it’s dark,
imbibed by our toroidal heart,
whence bliss ignition does so start,
piercing every body vector,
causing flow of soma nectar,
savoured by presence in delight ~ 
such dear friends, is soul’s wingless flight....

A rainbow of flavours 
In every bite
I've savoured the sweet
And the spice of each
Plunged my tongue deep
Into pain's body
The depths of which met me
Eager to parley
The difference is plain
When your body is broken
You're glad you're alive
Unlike heartache
When you just want to die....

Money licks its lips 
A fervour without bound it rips
Feeding on the rich with etiquette and poise
The middle classes swallowed with grumbled noise
And screaming poor not even savoured
From a beast thats never laboured
The earth lays daily a new tablecloth
For the feast where all humanity is lost...

her quarter-pounder eyes
edged with charcoal
coaxed me inside.
her round succulent body
i savoured hungrily
as from table to table she rolled.
a small gherkin green nose
sat on lips of tomato sauce
surrounded by a cheesy smile.
as my fingers touched
i knew it was 
burger love.

Additions and retention,
Achievements and parties,
Blessed and cherished,
Benevolence and empathy,
Chortles and roars,
Diligence and success,
Family and friends,
Fortune and endeavour,
Hale and hearty,
Magnificence and power,
Memories and rerun.

Hey all! Have another year, 
Ecstatic and savoured!...

COLLECTIONS

elegant effervescent
stylishly
arranged
savoured
in complexity
 encounters
with the past
 tenderness
interacting
with
enthusiasm
 throughout

to
 become
 a touchstone
 of
human cost
of the
 realities
 of  sheer desperation
yet
 the magnetism
 lives on
in
warm memories
for
who has a winning hand?...

idle banter
with close friends
warmth of camaraderie
joyous embrace of innocence 
in midst of which, without warning 
a million bliss bubbles exploded within
near and dear ones lost in trance
noticed not heightened rapture
causing bliss borne spasms
so I savoured the elixir 
in vibrant stillness 

although we share
no one can pair...

The thing is to die well 
But I suppose that only matters in the tell
You would like to think you could say
Goodbye my friend I want you to stay

And I remember the laughs on you face
Sitting together remembering the time and place
So when the final goodbye is here
Our friendship is still savoured and held dear.

Is Missing You - Forever

I ask as I pull my hand from the telephone
a beautiful morning, I rush to tell you.
the pink iris has bloomed 
I must remember to tell you,
all of life minutiae we savoured as friends
are stored on the top shelf 
in the airing cupboard.
each time, I tell you, 
I lovingly store it in the pink box,
for later....

Like the finest wine
You taste so good
A vintage to be savoured
Men’s hearts race
With just a wink
And a smile, well
That just slays them 
A heart of gold
Lays beneath that breast
A lady of a thousand dreams
a female sensation
A vision of true beauty
Prettier than the finest flora
In all the world is our Laura.

Eternity as his message lingers on
A message for the ages now and gone
The words scrawled out on the pavement
To be wondered or savoured as heaven sent

Does it teach us the pace of the world
And what we think or as our faith now held
And Arthur Stace provided Eternity for us
As he chalked out the word on Sydney’s pavements for him enough.

Misted eyes of heavy breath,
Savoured stalactites of tongue,
Necks held in last caress,
By hands rather held than gloved.

Ashen shivers of laden branches,
Buds lost and stems entwined,
Thighs warmed in grasps of ecstasy,
Filled of blood in heat's recline.

Fingers laced with tainted ivory,
Shivers burnt in frosted flesh,
Lips against a hardened tip,
To sighs of desirous end....

Thy hands, fragrant, on my breast--

The softest touch I ever savoured

And the scintilla in thy words,

O the memory of an experienced night.

As the gleeful bird on the highest bough

And whenever thou lookest through green and green

I roam from verduous shrub to shrub

Of thy garden immensely embellished.

Then thy flower thou tuck’st into my hand, 

The fadeless pleasure I return to thee....

Waters splashed in steady flow   
heated fast under throbbing glows   
salted streams steam, about to blow   
stiffend strokes are soon invoked   
as a bubbling froth begins to show   

vigorous excitement is counted down   
as ever morsel has become unwound   
and when all is said and done   
it's softly limp before it's drained 
  
mouths water as lasting tastes   
deliciously remain...
