the scent of wild thyme

wafts temptingly through the air

I follow the bees

fishing with a fallen star
angling using wishing bait 
do dark thoughts on arced nights
unravel fate or gavel bang

flights sit temptingly on the surface disguised as joy, distorted lies...

Spring 
brings us
early blooms
sweetly scented
temptingly perfumed
attracting bees
Herald the
birth of
Spring

It was all futile 
Washing and rubbing 
Aches that had left 
So i did what i do best 
Soared away into the blue 
Open skies so temptingly called 
Rosy hues of the heaven 
Raced me across while 
You and yours, I all forgot...

White
by name
straw of hue
a light bouquet
draped temptingly in beads of condensed cool

a glass or two to share between two halves
becoming one
as passions
turn to
red

warm
spices
fruity notes
vanillas blush
enraptured in the realms of paradise...

I’ve got a couple of juicy melons
They are dangling so temptingly
Round with plump firm flesh
Shame they aren’t ready for picking yet!

Now now what were you thinking guys …
It’s the first year I’ve grown them in my greenhouse!

some of whom were more than just his 'pals'

nothwithstanding his  'ladies' portrayed so temptingly

Doubts crept
Ever slowly
Inching up my spine
A silent moon
Peered
From behind
Dark clouds

A shadow lingered
On my soul
Temptingly
Tantalizing

A shudder
Cagily
Clenched
My chest
Tore out my heart
Held it
Before the hidden moon

Its thundering longing
Beseeching
The stars of clarity
With a pounding
Ferocity

The moon
Applauding
In an awakening
Sky

Super serene sizzling sparkle
Mesmerizingly magnetic marvel
Amiably affable ardent ami
Lovesome and luscious lumini
Enchantingly enormous enamour
Gloriously gorgeous glamour
Temptingly tantalizing terrain
Of awesome beauty with brain
As she walks the nature shakes
Lo! Even a way the space makes..!
Pulchritudinous belle or Czarina
From the Empire of Tropicana
Enlightening the world of humans
With Her savoury elixir in tons..!!...

Sylph-like is my way to describe her,
an angel who's great at the game
of chewing out all of our vendors,
a tempest, not timid or tame.

She wants what she wants when she wants it,
for her being late is a crime,
she'll scold them for keeping her waiting:
"No way, just be 'ON TIME' next time!"

There is a soft side to her nature,
a temptingly feminine take,
but she'll get what she wants, you believe it,
don't get in her way, she won't brake!...
