Kiss Me Tenderly

Kiss me sweet
        Kiss me quick
               Only once.
I’m not the romantic type.
Or so I tell myself.
         What are you waiting for?
No kiss?
          That kiss is fine.
You taste so sweet.
I look deep in your eyes:
     Deep blue like some far-off lagoon.
cerulean clear inviting, longing love.
I long for a tender kiss.
I feel lost.
          Do you love me?
          I think of your red luscious lips.
I saw you kissing Freddie yesterday.
You blush.
I blush 
I’m jealous.
We walked hand in hand towards the park.  
This time, our kiss lingers
Not quick, not sweet. Something deeper.
Love is in the air.

Tenderly

so slowly I
	with trembling hand
unsurely reach
	and gently touch

and wait to see
	if you will move
away from me
	or with still stay

may I move
	slowly glide
softly now
	touching you

learning now
	the flow the shape
of the forms
	that I behold

will you perhaps
	more closely move
that my touch
	may more feel

and together we
	will then embrace
together caress
	and then learn

of those things
	before now hid
and to share
	freely give

JOY OF MOTHERHOOD

POEM 
          JOY OF MOTHERHOOD
The joy of motherhood, a wondrous thing,
African mothers know the love it brings.
Through pain and struggle, they give birth anew,
Their strength and courage, a pure and true view.

With smiles that shine like the morning sun,
They tenderly care for each little one.
Their hearts, overflowing with boundless love,
A precious gift from the heavens above.

When their children stumble, they pick them up,
Encouraging them to reach for the top.
With wisdom and guidance, they gently lead,
African mothers, providing all they need.

From village to city, they diligently toil,
Their perseverance, a reflection of royalty.
Their beauty and grace, an inspiring sight,
African mothers, shining so bright.

So let us celebrate these queens of the land,
For their endless love and guiding hand.
Their hearts, pure; their souls, strong and true,
African mothers, we give thanks to you.

so SOUL TENDERLY WE'RE EMBRACE OURSELF-

soul tenderly I embrace her
our hearts beats within our collective paired 
times two 24 ribs
salty sweet are those the tears our eyes jointly share
physically for better or worse
Spiritually under God blessed birth
greasy jointly strands of our trich
must be love or lust our two lips touch, we kiss

So soul tenderly we're embrace ourself-

in the spirit realm mere not mortals
we stand and stare our spirit melt
physically for better or worse
Spiritually under God blessed birth
welding together
covenant expelling joyous bursts 
of intangible actions of love hosts

So soul tenderly we're embrace ourself-

our hearts beats within our collective paired souls heart
spirit eyes so stare as we share
soul tender soul mate you and I
covenant cry
physically for better or worse
Spiritually under God blessed birth
covenant cry

So soul tenderly we're embrace ourself-

Tell This Tale Tenderly

their twin heart fires alighted
two passionate flames
one truly was excited
other full of blames

their merger was completing
disappointment too
her high hopes were depleting
she was glad they're through

her partner sought empathy
from her cousin Sue
now he gets no sympathy
no glance, no boo hoo

her new life is marvelous
she made her escape
a pioneer courageous
smooth as a new grape

so tell this tale tenderly
choose the words so well
choose the verbs most slenderly
do not oversell

okay if you titillate
difficult not to
you might even scintillate
speaking of these two

Love Him Tenderly

Love Him Tenderly
Free Verse


Lullaby is what makes a cry baby sleeps
Love song is what makes a young heart weeps
At the end of the day after that heartache
Sweet smile will come out from her lips.

It's better to have loved and lost, they say
Than never love at all, at any way
When you get old, you have something to say
Than just listening to what a little bird would say.

Love Stories are pleasant to hear
It tantalize the heart that's so fiddle
 So, if someday  he crosses your way
Love him truly and tenderly

You don't know how long you'll be together
Because love is so sweet,  yet, so vile and bitter
First love ever never dies
 generation to generation it passes by

Everybody experiences first love
Then they part ways and say good-bye
  for a night long you may cry
But tomorrow you will surely smile.

That Attraction Tenderly Felt

I've been watched by suspicious eyes
that hide and cause fear,
I've sensed that presence when its shadow
draws feelings of uneasiness... 
when all thoughts are clear
and I feel free to run towards tomorrow.

Where's that attraction tenderly felt,
expressed when meeting up the perfect one,
that faithful one guiding you through life?
If doubts are strong, you shouldn't start
dreaming and imagine your dream
will give you any feeling of esteem.

Strangers faces seldom smile,
their cold eyes offer distrust;
I adore faces that are friendly
and are brightened by confidence
being assured they won't lie.
What is everyone looking for today?
Tell that secret revealing your thought,
letting everybody know your choice. 

Where's that attraction tenderly felt in a true smile?
Does that excite your senses making her your adorable pup? 
When will you finally decide to commit yourself and give up
each freedom and let her cuddle in your arms of sunshine...
wishing she would stay and make you happy for a lifetime,
giving you the allusion of hearing wedding bells that chime?

I'Ll Love You Sweet and Tenderly

Love is in your Angel eyes
So beautiful the stars would cry
Sun shines through the clouds to view
Rainbow's kissing sky of blue

Love is in the air you breathe
Flowers bloom in summer breeze
The night is jealous of the moon
Softly caressing the face of you

Memories of you survive
My heart could never say goodbye
We may be the past, I know...
You're the voice that soothes my soul

I want you and I always will
Until the day my time stands still'
Forever, you'll be a part of me
I'll love you sweet and tenderly

I need you and I always will
All seasons lead me back to Spring
Forever, you'll be a part of me
I'll love you sweet and tenderly...

Tenderly

Tenderly
Frost caresses the night
A body oozes blood

A jealous husband
Suspicion rears its ugly head
One fears for ones life

Loving Paradise

For Timothy Lee
My heart sought love with a hunger never sated,
dreamt of it with a thirst cupid never fully aided
and a fervidness of longing no embrace abated.
Perpetual disquietude pooled sadness in my heart
where ashes drowned when my dreams burnt down.

Then came you with such masculine effervescence
my romantic, passionate dreams eagerly renewed.
My willingness and lovingness thrilled to be wooed
by the sheer vehemence that is charismatic you.
Your gaze held an intense, veneration persuasion
and your lustiness was buffed in brazen perfection.

Your endearing love became my safe, cocooned haven.
Whether you tenderly or intensely touch me to possess,
you relay amorousness and reverence in one, same caress.
With you, in romantic paradise, I lovingly, joyously reside.
The beating in your chest is where my sun rises and sets.

Son, Will You Hold My Hand Tenderly

Dear sweet baby
how old you become no matter
I’ll always be holding 
your hand very tenderly
as I held it on the auspicious day 
that you were born
but when I grow old
will you hold my hand tenderly
for crossing the zigzags 
of old age life of your Dad
