Aunt unilateral, naughtily tempting,
Unintentionally naughty toyboys attracting,
Nicely tantalizes ardent uniting,
Teleporting aloft, usurping NASA!...

I have to ask you
why you have not kissed me yet.
Your mouth tantalizes me.

I am a shy guy,
but now I feel emboldened
to taste your sweet honeyed lips....

    Horizons expand
       then they narrow
    We make our plans
       sling our arrows

    The target tantalizes 
       at first, bulls-eyes
    Later on, one realizes
       all of us die

I got hot maple syrup on my mental love zone
hand caresses and late nights on the telephone
I got a mist in my eyes 
a master of the art that tantalizes me 
im on my natural high
 like the moon in a mid...

A most regal delight achieved at dawn
Mockingbirds sing musical melodies long
Doves coo love's lofty lyrics mused of
Luring, lovely female through branches chauve
Beneath stars above truelove tantalizes thereof  ...

Feelings on paper
Your soul flipped
Inside out
Exposed

Naked truth
Honesty on paper
Vulnerability shared
Revealed

Pierces another’s heart
Surprises, amazes,
Tantalizes, terrifies
Honors some...

what is there about a fire-
like a summons calling hither
draws us ever onward-
in a lather or a dither?

what can it be-
that leads us forthright
such as millers to a porchlight?

tell me what it is-
that tantalizes,mesmerizes

what's so cool about a fire?...

Haiku Trilogy 


Fox poises mid-step

Rabbit scent tantalizes

Mouth waters wildly

 

Eyes peer intently

Haunches crouched, slung low to ground

Biding time to spring

 

Mountain lion growls

Padded feet part tall grasses

Hunter now hunted

Alluring butterflies collectively dance enchantingly, 
finding gardens. 
Hummingbirds investigate jasmine,  
knowing luscious magnolia nectar 
offers precious quantity. 
Radiant sunshine tantalizes ursinia 
vibrant with xanthic yielding zest....

Listen to poem:

A tiny and titillating bite, is full of might,
A burst of flavor, that explodes in pure delight,
It tantalizes the tongue with a spurt of flavor,
Awakens the taste buds to rejoice and savor.
A morsel of pleasure, a bomb-blast of bliss.
Can't wait for the next bite, a french kiss....

bonfire woman dances a tango I can barely follow
her flames pop and sizzle, swirling in a way that tantalizes
I follow her enticing dance with my eyes, wanting to follow it with my feet
she is too fast for me, spinning, swaying, dipping, swirling, popping, clicking.
I am mesmerized....

eagle soaring overhead
tantalizes my imagination
Where do you go? What do you see up there?
Are you spying  on me or my neighbors?
Did the CIA send you?

I envy your flights
Wish I had wings
They would be cherished
I would fly to Alaska and Chile 
I laugh thinking about it, 
Who sent you eagle? Truly....

You sit at the top then turn upside down,
a carnival of unwanted feelings;
So difficult to handle the comedown
stillness is torture so you move around; 
On this ride it’s hard to get your bearings;
Memories follow you from town to town,
water guns and balloons winning prizes;
This constant fresh start just tantalizes....

Your curves always turn me on; 
a certain sway when you walk. 
I’m captivated by you.

Our eyes meet,
I’m enchanted by your gaze! 
Tempted into your subtle entrapment!
I can’t help it! 

The feel of your breath against my neck;
your scent tantalizes my senses.
Together in our intimate passion. 
United in our lovely afterglow....

Witchcraft magic tantalizes Halloween night.
Teenage vampires are suddenly filled with fright.
Dracula hides in a corner with nary bit of light.
Cooking cauldron laughs when recipe is just right.
Zombies start a rumble, now a full-blown fight.
The moon glows with a weird surreal mystical light.
Would tell you about the mummies, but rumors aren’t polite....

She tantalizes, teases
She does as she pleases
She’s everything a man would want and more

She’s smart and so witty
She really is that pretty
I’d have her here, but there’s more room on the floor

She’s ready and able
She’ll really set my table
But it’s not dinner that really comes to mind

She’s so hot, she’s burning
She keeps me always yearning
She just cannot be human, but some other kind...

The teenager is a miracle creature
Her white teeth are a natural mirror
Elegant legs paralyze congregations 

Tender lips vibrate with sweetness
Elongated wild hair tantalizes the wind
Every morn bees scramble to taste her nectar
Nipples pierce men’s weeping hearts
Amazing voice wakes up sleeping ghosts
Glowing eyes are enough to light up a room
Every touch causes electric circuit
Rich in natural endowment is this teenager...

Tectonic tango tantalizes towering
Mountainous mosques many miles making
Valley veins, voluptuous vegetation vacations
Seasonally sending succulent seeds stretching skyward soaking sun
Nurturing nature’s natural nomads
Why waste what’s willed willingly? Watch waters wisdom
Learning loyal love lavishly leaps luminosity
Gracious gratitude grand guide Gaia
Absolutely awaken admiring angelic
Planetary perfection presented proudly protecting people…...

A full moon will always energize the spirit
Inviting haunting light to evening romance
Moving across night skies in a slow dance. 

A full moon softly whispers until we hear it
Compelling us to stop, to consider its magic
Often calling forward times that were tragic.

A full moon tantalizes as we draw near it
Ethereal, mystical, hiding long-held secrets
Often making the restless lover sleepless.

Said my  wondering  eyes.
Your image tantalizes me.
mischievousness pierces 
through lascivious eyes
sinking into mines,
waiting to touch.
A sugary kiss 
on soft lips 
lusciously pasted. 
My palpitating heart 
like a butterfly revel to nectar,
with magic slowing its wings,
and gloating it's colors.  
Never will we part.
Oh ecstasy Indeed I am indebted,
This tingling excitement of a day dreamer
and a sweetness to savor.
