1 Awake ye muses nine, sing me a strain divine, Unwind the solemn twine, and tie my Valentine! Oh the Earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain, For sighing, and gentle whispering, and unity made of twain. All things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air, God hath made nothing single but thee in His world so fair! The bride, and then the bridegroom, the two, and then the one, Adam, and Eve, his consort, the moon, and then the sun; The life doth prove the precept, who obey shall happy be, Who will not serve the sovereign, be hanged on fatal tree. The high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small, None cannot find who seeketh, on this terrestrial ball; The bee doth court the flower, the flower his suit receives, And they make merry wedding, whose guests are hundred leaves; The wind doth woo the branches, the branches they are won, And the father fond demandeth the maiden for his son. The storm doth walk the seashore humming a mournful tune, The wave with eye so pensive, looketh to see the moon, Their spirits meet together, they make their solemn vows, No more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose. The worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride, Night unto day is married, morn unto eventide; Earth is a merry damsel, and heaven a knight so true, And Earth is quite coquettish, and beseemeth in vain to sue. Now to the application, to the reading of the roll, To bringing thee to justice, and marshalling thy soul: Thou art a human solo, a being cold, and lone, Wilt have no kind companion, thou reap’st what thou hast sown. Hast never silent hours, and minutes all too long, And a deal of sad reflection, and wailing instead of song? There’s Sarah, and Eliza, and Emeline so fair, And Harriet, and Susan, and she with curling hair! Thine eyes are sadly blinded, but yet thou mayest see Six true, and comely maidens sitting upon the tree; Approach that tree with caution, then up it boldly climb, And seize the one thou lovest, nor care for space, or time! Then bear her to the greenwood, and build for her a bower, And give her what she asketh, jewel, or bird, or flower— And bring the fife, and trumpet, and beat upon the drum— And bid the world Goodmorrow, and go to glory home!

Her serene face, lovely sleepy moon, framed by long tresses of dark curly clouds on which he traces pelagic  memories remains focused on his, for a while, then, her eyes, lovely restless beetles, sweetly buzz around his eager lips, swollen with desire. Closer she comes, he loves that coquettish look on her face, how cheeky, the moves she make as if she is game for the tryst, right now whatever it takes from her part. it's clear. How love makes a simple maiden, daring! Dark beetles bring him memories of pollen, mingled scents that cover her body head to toe, now her lips are on his, exploring gently its contours when teeth and swirling tongue too join in, the cravings of unbridled horses of amour they both come to be aware, when eyes involuntarily close. When the red eyed embers of love turn to flames, love boils in their cauldron, they rediscover passion, as if they are green horns, once again in the enchanted woods in this land of cupid, where the love rules are hurriedly rewritten.

The birth of Passion
In to the mystery of the night, i wander the tangled tarantula garden canopied with prophesies of light, Lit windows are making overtures to desires night unleashes at these hours, hear the buzz in the air its time to make love, darkness forgets  hurt and embraces light. i walk alone, but an enchanting witch wait for me somewhere in a garden bench, to take me by my  hand to her secret haunt filled with thick smoke of **** where she will remove the drapes to let me see the truth. On her quill and cactus bed, she would make me understand, how far is pleasure from pain why darkness stalks light, a jilted lover, walking a few steps behind, I've heard her, once whisper to wind in her husky voice "A  life written off by those who measure out life with coffee spoons, as spent in vein; this life of mine, could have its secret treasures, no charlatan could ever guess about a serpent's diamonds very few get to see, its dangerous to pry, i forgive their ignorance" Words induced by her dark power has layers of meaning but to many it was just meaningless jabbering, just magic mushroom blabber She nibbled and nicked my earlobes, in between intoxicating purrs, told me the meaning of caterwauls, **"Its not pain, its not pain, once you get in to the stream you only want to drain, in to the vast blue ocean"** I recognize now,  it's Walpurgis night, as i walk in search of my witch, i see dancers around bonfire, revelers totally out of their minds, carouse at the heart of the night. And i see them all, witches in marine blue dresses, enchantresses in blackly black, coquettish red or groovy green, I wait for her to appear, the only one in resplendent white.

Disillusionment encompasses the night. Your warm breath tickles my ear, Firm hands caress my skin leaving no part of my body untouched. All other distractions, extraneous characters, everything else is irrelevant. It is just you, with your smooth dark skin, comforting embrace, and those entrancing brown eyes, and me, with my silky pale skin, soft curves, and sad but hopeful eyes. It is just us and our apprehension in this room, isolated from reality. You indulge in my coquettish laugh, and I take solace in the warmth of your touch. The contours of my body complement yours as we both try to savor this feeling of ecstasy. But the hourglass runs out, and this moment is fleeting. The illusion is shattered when the protagonist reappears, and I am demoted to understudy. I am left to replay this scene in my disillusioned mind hoping to one day again feel the softness of your lips pressed against my bare skin, but until then, I will replay these events, ignoring this void in my soul and embracing the momentary nirvana.

Disillusionment
*The coquettish full moon, on a cloudless clear sky, apple of the eyes of lovers from far and wide, impishly wicked you are, in that avatar enticing your eyes seek only the one for whom your heart beats for. At times you are an anorexic crescent wearing a misty veil, flirting with fluffy clouds, you make each one go  crazy Curiously I behold the village belle simple, peeping out- of the window of her cottage, waiting for the lover, who comes at odd hours with palpitating heart My love, you are one of a kind, displaying myriad faces an enchanting presence, I crave, each moment, in whatever form how could I ever prescribe the way your love to reach me your love is my never setting moon,                                       whichever way you choose to express.*

Myriad faces of your love
Her quickly flicking      heels and hands Her fan it flutters--      Dancing. A silk-swift turn,     with graceful place Of foot, and wrist,     and hand, to face. With movements slow,      then sudden dip An open fan       with subtle flick. Her eyes, alone,         hot glittering pits. One glance enough           to sear your wits. Fast stop, twist-turn      for flicked-up skirt, Her movements close--        Coquettish. Arms thrown aloft,   hard-panting sigh. Thrown roses then-- she's finished.

Flamenco
Beware the sour duchess with her cobra tongue, Come marionette, fall at her feet, the carnal cherry flower maid, She hides in the devil's gap tooth, In his pinstriped pockets full of rosary beads and candlewick, She steals the heart-shaped cosmic superstition, Demure with dulcet debauchery, Forged in a grand dalliance of coquettish repulsion with his valiant renegades, Vagrant of prayer and petrichor, Buying fancy for the maudlin dolls, the ethereal actresses nursed to betray, These childish ordeals rosy with youth, Turn to lilac smitten executioner under the glass of a silver boulevard, She writes me foolish want in this presence of gods and criminals, Sell me your kisses and fingertips bruise my aura with your architecture, Sleeping sound in your dominion the sheets are always warm.

LILITH
This is the year I'll try to be brave and stop running I can't guarantee it'll work I won't promise that I will but I'll try Try to let a boy in I know it sounds cliché but I need to let someone figure me out A cold sore and a box of tampons On the eve of new year's eve Was my wake up call a cosmic karma ***** slap if you will A sign from the gods that there will be hell to pay if I don't try to change my ways Enough of the hunt and chase they say for I've carpeted my dense forest with all the maimed hearts from seven years of a coquettish past But how to change? How does the hunter willingly become the hunted to throw down one's crossbow and wait defenseless I'm so good at what I do How do I force myself to lose my self in order to stop the vicious thing I've become

The man decked in blue      sits quite content           on a sofa                and observes wealthy offspring                waltz in flashing their brilliant teeth           glossed with potent peppermint.      These teens don't know love, lust is all it is.      While the Jazz bops away,           more whisky is poured                and they zip out to get jammy.                The man, mid-twenties,           kind of blue, dapper apparel,      has one on the rocks. Sees them walk in most evenings,      cute blondes with flawless skin,           guys in suits, bow ties, the works,                gaze into each other's pupils.                There are regulars,           Robert, the chap from Yale,      Quentin, sly guy at Harvard and Carly, still at school the man believes, who's coquettish, fresh,      these two want to have her           but she's astute,                knows just what she wants.                They're all after her in fact.           Every male in the room      turns their head, can't blame them, she's like Candyfloss,      all the men want a taste           but there's not enough for everyone                and they don't look like the sharing kind.                The man in blue           just grins to himself      thinking how grand it is that he's single, sensible, secure.

sordid scripture, warring woman, both menace and coquettish innocence —barricaded. statues, fountains, and restraining orders, filling the garden: decorations of sunlight on a clock, and a view into tomorrow, revealing the "texture" of her skin within the realm of her navel, as soft as lace, as smooth as the surface of a pond. before diving in gives an otherworldly radiance, her shape and smile compared to everyday realities are solemn in the extreme,   the dawn threatens to break in the east. her voice, (a lungfully deep, sensuous purr), is so distinctive, come what may, this could be happiness: sullen, waylaid and capricious, her urban sexuality hidden in the attic of revolution, suffused with the dreamlike, hazy glow of colored lights and tinsel. desire is like Christmas —it always promises more than it delivers.

Exuberant ecstatic rapture Sardonic denigrating quip Joisting up an oaken rafter The cabin of a sailing ship Lucid eloquent recumbence Surreal retrospective grace Endless ocean’s myriad turbulence Infinity would set it’s pace Imbue spontaneous induction Exude efficient transience Exhort the mystic symbiotic construction For the course of our intransigence Litigant ludicrous licentiousness Coquettish audacious impunity Lecherous libidos atrocious impertinence Would pound id’s shore horrendously Derisive subjugated nuance Extol intrinsic unity Nebulous wisps of shaded quiescence With breeze and sky make harmony Predilect effluent effusion Tenacious taubla tapestry Alleviate the torrential confusion Acquire efficience for flights symmetry

Immunity
Squandered years whisper for release from bitter sweet moments and the lonely now. A kiss of sorrows gone too long unheeded planted like a mercy killing upon that brow. Memory passes coquettish, and I heed them Skin passes unblemished, and I leave them Her lips sparkle reddish, and I need them... But lips must await the fulfilment of my vow. As memory must abate to lips that disallow their pain to share her bed; their whispers in her head; Lips that bring an end to sweet regrets and when she wakes, this lonely Capulet will find from her mind my lonely eyes from memory are fleeting;                                    fleeing;                                             fled. Lethe, planted gently on her brow, from rain-soaked lips soft like regret. Hidden like my eyes are hidden now, Better to have loved and lost? Better still, perhaps, to forget.

A Silent Vow
Through the door's crack she lets herself be viewed One almond eye full of dark allure Her coquettish smile hints at forbidden delight And fingers play promisingly across her thigh Sweet laughter escapes her open-breathed lips Do I see her tongue dart quickly to the fore? And in a twirl she is gone, her black hair cascades Like a velvet cloak falling on all I desire. I stand, cross the room to follow my heart Its beating thunderous in my aching breast I must go to that girl who teases me out I must submit to the spell she has now cast At the doorway I pause, a moment afraid That the chase will be lost, I shall be undone As love's young fool I shall be unmade And all for the chance of seeing her smile Such thoughts I banish, I cannot entertain A comedy wherein I am nought but a fool For her smile was too sweet to be other than true And her eye promised more than I have ever known I follow the sound of her steps down the hall Ignoring just where this path might lead I offer myself to the intrigue before And hope I shall find more than just a tease A taste of what might be, a flavour, a scent I hope for no less than promise fulfilled And for my part I hope not to dismay As I bend myself to la coquine's will.

*Tangled*
That coquettish ***** has starlight filled eyes, It's only natural, that she is a rage among the men.                          one night in the bar,                          she raised hell,                          danced naked,                          called everybody names,                          such a racket it became,                          looked like a hellcat's play time, the cops came rushing, siren wailing, lights flashing, but enjoying her burlesque, one stayed put with her, she held him close, as if she was his girl.                                he lost his turban,                               while she mind ****** him,                                making him promise                                to keep her out of jail,                                by hook or crook, even                               bending rules in the book, *glinting starlit eyes had such an aphrodisiacal effect! he threw his lot with her and decided: "My deliverance is her"*

Troubles in Teenagetown
The Drummer Brothers of Ikku Ukku Heard from the bathers that- The Princess had been abducted By the Dark Beast. A bounty of thousand gold coins was announced If you brought her back alive and the beast dead And Death if you brought the beast alive and the Princess dead. The Drummer Brothers of Ikku Ukku Hung their drums around their necks And drummed their way Through the Forest Dark When the Elder Brother drummed the sleep-inducing roll, The storks that roosted in the trees Dropped as if they were one big bunch. He picked them up one by one While the younger one, Elated, Shouted 'Pelicans!' and drummed the defeathering roll Upon which the plumage came off The Elder Brother drummed the roasting roll And the birdflesh caught fire. On the second day a leopard that looked- More like a boulder in leopard's clothing Lurched at the brothers. The Elder Brother drummed the age-reversing roll And the poor old leopard grew younger and younger Until it became a watery foetus which- The Drummer Brothers ate, Dabbing crushed chillies, and sprinkling salt. On the third day a bear of grisly proportions Ambled, roaring, into their sight The Younger Brother drummed an organ-enlarging roll that- Stretched the bear's mammaries far too long- They dragged on the ground like two pythons. The Elder Brother drummed the light-the- candle roll And the oily **** caught fire like wicks. Having vanquished the two deadly beasts The Drummer Brothers of Ikku Ukku met, On the fourth day of their journey, The Dark Beast. The Dark Beast, as it turned out, Was no beast as such But an Outcast once expelled Into the heart of darkness Who wrapped himself In the dark of the Dawn And became one with All the Beasts And rumbled. The Princess' pygmy horse was impaled With the stake coming out of its mouth Grossly gory, its hindlegs missing And the blood, coagulated, hanging like icicles. Near it was the Princess herself, Naked, except for the gold waist chain And the anklets. The Drummer Brothers of Ikku Ukku Drummed a very ordinary roll, Steady and throbbing. The Dark Beast who listened to it Was transported into his past, His memory of listening To the old drummers of Ikku Ukku. Excited, He spun on his heels and stretched out his arms He gyrated and pirouetted- And on reaching the peak of his frenzy Exploded, like a watermelon The pieces flew in all directions. The Drummer Brothers picked them up And licked While the Princess, shaken out of her languor, Rose and sauntered towards them. Holding out her honey hands She said, "Now I belong to both of you." The Younger Brother came up with a plan: The elder one would have her from the waist up While he would have her from the waist down. The Elder Brother approved. Vain and coquettish, The Princess rammed her fists into either drum And said: "I loathe their sound- too unrefined." On the fifth day, The Drummer Brother drummed a jazzed up roll On their new drumhead Made of the Princess' hide.

The Dark Beast who listened to it Was transported into his past, His memory of listening To the old drummers of Ikku Ukku. Excited, He spun on his heels and stretched out his arms He gyrated and pirouetted- And on reaching the peak of his frenzy Exploded, like a watermelon The pieces flew in all directions. The Drummer Brothers picked them up And licked While the Princess, shaken out of her languor, Rose and sauntered towards them. Holding out her honey hands She said, "Now I belong to both of you." The Younger Brother came up with a plan: The elder one would have her from the waist up While he would have her from the waist down. The Elder Brother approved. Vain and coquettish, The Princess rammed her fists into either drum And said: "I loathe their sound- too unrefined." On the fifth day, The Drummer Brother drummed a jazzed up roll On their new drumhead Made of the Princess' hide.

Wandering silently though the wilderness woods, far and away from the potholes of well beaten pathways The soft breeze slowly moves the shadows cast in the moonlit night, past the thorny bramble vines of time. Wildlife paths illuminated by starlight adorn the alluring wooded trail Secluded pathways foraged by natural instinct, ancestral prudence and intuition's guide Each shadow drawn willingly into a deeper enlightening journey As if synchronicity united hearts learning to speak minds The depths of undaunting transparency rendezvous with awakening breath Looking back .., softly questioning life withdrawn in discontent; exhaling an unashamed freedom without regret Lost in perpetual motion, found in heart Separate souls illuminated by the moon stood alone yearning for the touch of healing light Ardor of hope shines an inward light as moonlight restlessly slumbers, passion blushes in radiant colour The night has a thousand coquettish eyes shining on practical mysticism The laughing owls of midnight Echo allusions of crystal clear reverie Stirred by swirling tempest breeze showering down from high endeavors where treetops  pierce the constellations Wisps of the twilight sky unfurl stardust dewdrops drunk by earth’s thirsting sod Nocturnal Cricket’s rhythmus acoustical wings very quietly chirping a bashful courting song Laughter rings out, blissfully released, like the joy of a shameless child Nature sways with a gentle motion Her leafy arms groan and moan the silent toil as she holds up the weight of the celestial unfoldment Moonlight moves across the dappled shadows budding love born beneath her branches. Two shadows embrace as one emerging rapturously from the tantalizing wilderness oasis Reborn as naked as the free mesmerized by the enchanting forest's spell...

Enchanted Wilderness
Wandering silently though the wilderness woods, far and away from the potholes of well beaten pathways The soft breeze slowly moves the shadows cast in the moonlit night, past the thorny bramble vines of time. Wildlife paths illuminated by starlight adorn the alluring wooded trail Secluded pathways foraged by natural instinct, ancestral prudence and intuition's guide Each shadow drawn willingly into a deeper enlightening journey As if synchronicity united hearts learning to speak minds The depths of undaunting transparency rendezvous with awakening breath Looking back .., softly questioning life withdrawn in discontent; exhaling an unashamed freedom without regret Lost in perpetual motion, found in heart Separate souls illuminated by the moon stood alone yearning for the touch of healing light Ardor of hope shines an inward light as moonlight restlessly slumbers, passion blushes in radiant colour The night has a thousand coquettish eyes shining on practical mysticism The laughing owls of midnight Echo allusions of crystal clear reverie Stirred by swirling tempest breeze showering down from high endeavors where treetops  pierce the constellations Wisps of the twilight sky unfurl stardust dewdrops drunk by earth’s thirsting sod Nocturnal Cricket’s rhythmus acoustical wings very quietly chirping a bashful courting song Laughter rings out, blissfully released, like the joy of a shameless child Nature sways with a gentle motion Her leafy arms groan and moan the silent toil as she holds up the weight of the celestial unfoldment Moonlight moves across the dappled shadows budding love born beneath her branches.

He was as pale as someone dead; He stayed silent and showed no breath. He moved not as our eyes met; He looked startled, tired, and mad. He was like a dead child unborn; A child of night; yet a corpse of morn. He turns all wild after sunset; He rarely sleeps; nor lies in bed. How could I fall in love with him? For he is mute as how death seems; He is mean and emotionless; He is inhuman and soulless. For he has done lots of mischief; He knows not even why to live. Though his face looks bare and naive; And his red mouth, voiceless and stiff. For he has not tears nor feelings; Smiles not at kindness nor givings. He is deceitful and selfish; He is boastful and coquettish. For he may have had 'nother girl; With whom he sings and dances and swirls. She must be than me prettier; And thus fairer, and lovelier. Weird for I love him even more; More than I praise this earth's dear Lord. He owns all the might of my soul; He fills my charm; he makes my whole.
