Strait Talk
I talk to the trees
and they listen to me
I whisper sweet nothings
they renew the air I breathe
I talk to the trees
tho' they don't respond
beats speaking to myself
in the back of beyond
I talk to the trees
tho' they never reply
my words go unanswered
don't ask them why
I talk to the trees
tho' they have little to say
so the men

Sweet Nothings
(Pema, 2024)
Sweet Nothings
Cool autumn morning
And the best place to be
Is nestled up beside papa
As he reads or idles away his time
But not before taking time
To whisper sweet nothings
In my old pug face
A face only a mother could love
In a world where everyone is my mother

Sweet Nothings And Lies
The devil dances in your eyes
Whispering sweet nothings and lies
It's only a shame your gaze
Can no longer see past the malaise
That corrupts your brain
And fills you with pain
Lips tight and language curt
The words cut deep and it might hurt
Peer into the mirror and see
The truth for it could set you free
But a lie could forever

Sweet Nothings
I always say good morning
I always say good night
I send them telepathically
If they don't come by write
So if your heart starts ringing
The phone call is from me
Sweet nothings I am singing
Your heart's the addressee

Sweet Nothings 2
Magic is the feeling my energy can't conceal it,
Just talking to you fulfilling a breath of air when we're building,
Attentive is my position I'm so addicted to wisdom,
So talk to me as I listen I'm hoping to catch a glimpse,
Of your soul before your body your inner self so exotic,
The way you move is

Sweet Nothings
Please tell me once again
With your breath caressing my ear
Whisper all these sweet nothings to me
For I'll never tire of your voice
I'll never find you insufferable
Start all over again and tell me for eternity
Come here, closer, feel the warmth of my breath
It's me softly telling you, 'You Are My Heart'
With each inhalation your aroma

Sweet Nothings
Excuse me misses my intention is a moment of you listening,
Take a second from your mission I can guess your intuition,
Telling you that I'm a fool because I wanna talk to you,
Make you laugh and walk with you some women are often viewed,
As mystique and that's unique by the way they call me June,
I could

Sweet Nothings In His Ear
She whispered sweet nothings in his ear
He seemed so pleased, she’d nothing to fear
So odd, thought she, he never liked this before
And now with his smile, he clearly wants more…
If you can keep a secret, dear reader, I’ll tell you, says he
I’ve gone deaf as a

Sprays of Sweet Nothings
Throughout full room sprays of sweet nothings suffuse
Mellow are memorial moments, mirth as well as my muse
High-floating foams, filled with redolent renaissance
Gently freshen up and fondle my hairs
My hairs, eager to inhale inspiring air
Grow fixated upon and fused with her familiar fragrance
Daisy-cutting eddies, gurgling into grokking gobos
Cozily cluster around and coddle my feet
My feet,

Sweet Nothings
if i’ve missed your birth day
there’s still your birth week
or even your birth month
or would the celebration
of you dawdle into the light
of a new month — too much?
perhaps a year, perhaps
we pretend that your important
enough to celebrate
for an entire lifetime —
yes!
let’s go with that!
little surprises appear sporadically
forcing you to smile ear to ear.

Sweet Nothings
whisper ever softly your words of tenderness...
as we lie supine to count to stars in the night sky.
And I sleep begins to ease my fatigued eyes,
let your voice sink into a silken whisper.

Sweet Love of Mine
Walking down the quaint city street entering the sweetshop,
Oh yes! Hershey’s Almond Milk Chocolate tasty flavor
Sweetheart chooses sweet licorice and hot fudge brownie delight,
Sweetie pie and I flavor sweetmeat crystallized fruit.
Sweet tooth such a happy mouth vibrato to have;
Healthy sweet corn with sweet pepper and sweet-and-sour
Rest in front of my Dear Heart and I

Whisper Sweet Nothings
Shhhh...softly I whisper into the cutest of ears
Rising early to see you in first morning light
Like an angel so peaceful in pure life radiance
My own slice of heaven next to me everynight
This is my way to start every single day
I make sure to whisper I Love You before you wake
Never do I wake you or

Whispered Sweet Nothings
His declaration of truelove,
Holds my heart like a glove.
Intimate breaths in my ear,
All inhibitions disappear.
Heartfelt secrets, sweet and tender,
Carelessly I surrender.
My dreams are being realised,
Soft choirs sing from the skies.
Caressive sounds I can't control,
As whispers reach my very soul.
Divine words that captivate,
Left me in this blissful state.

Sweet Nothings
Snuggling up to me with words that endear
Whispering sweet nothings into my ear
Enchanting words murmured bring me such delight
Encircling my waist you hold me so tight
Tenderly kissing me before its time to say goodnight
Next minute you surprise me and get down on one knee
Open a red velvet box and then you propose to me
Tears
