"entices" poems
This smile that makes your day... This undaunted smile that seem to say. Show me yours too so we both could play, On a plane where everything is fine... Everything's okay... This smile that reaches out to you... With nothing but invisible arms. Caresses your eyes and draws you in. Entices you with the sweetest charms. Whispers you tales of a brightly lit future; Where we're trapped in dance with each other... Supporting... Leading... Lifting and, Seducing one another... Let the music ring clear,. Over the thumping of our heartbeats... Aggressively segmenting, framing the dance into seconds that would elapse. Like two duelists entranced into committing tender jousts and retreats. But know that... This smile screams only lies. For it is but a routine mask. So well worn and adequately rehearsed... You'd never see the need to ask. Instead you'd just allow yourself be taken, To a place where the tide gently beats... Upon the shore our two ailing hearts. A place where earth and sky would meet. When in fact, It hides the turmoil and agitation. Guarding the storm that brews incessantly. Continuously threatening To breach this shared sanctity with me. A haven would've then be erected. That very instant we allowed... This dance of smiles From time of first contact to the time we bowed. This smile... Only took a second To paint a peaceful picture upon my face. Free from the pressures building behind my pursed lips. Just take this smile so that in that second, We could get lost in the promise of a heavenly place...

Walking along, Stopping to pick the ripened berries The sweet sour taste entices the senses. Cars passing quickly My feet stagger on Slowly falling into the tempo. My thoughts wander My troubles arise. I reach a split in this mental road Should I go left? Should I go right? Should I just turn around and give up? I’m at the dead end Looking over a cliff to the rough water below. Maybe I should just jump in. Feel the cold daggers against my skin. The water draws me in Welcoming me Beckoning me. Telling me to jump. Should I take this leap into the unknown? Prepare myself for the worst. In order appreciate the best. I need some help, A lighthouse in the distance The light giving guidance Offering peace Breaking though the night. Where is my lighthouse? Is there one? Or is this the dead end.

its the small things that entice me to you the way your glasses kiss your cheekbones the way you blush when I cant contain my stare the way your voice is deeper than the pacific and you are as tall as the leaning tower I love how you are scared of spiders because I am too I love that bone that gently emerges when you play violin first chair but that bone entices me almost as much as your smile because you fill the sum of your parts with music

its the small things
Please O' Lord Don't let this consume me This burning urge to do injustices To violate her sheets To desecrate her temple God Almighty What a beautiful temple you've made Carved to perfection, it entices me How can I resist this temptation? She is my every craving Tell me Dear Lord Is it wrong for me to admire your art? To gaze upon the bareness of her walls Feel the thickness in her stature And if So... forgive me Father For I can no longer restrain my hands My tongue can't stay in its cage My body can not be with out hers She must be consumed by me By My lust ~Corona Harris~

Inchwood to U. Bard Wazungus et all....
The darkness that consumed me made me feel like wanting to die, even before the age of nine. However, let's count our blessings that none of the individuals in the house owned a nine. I find myself engulfed in these thoughts, I make a desperate plea to hold on, just like hanging clothes on a line. The voices inside my head ring relentlessly, like an ominous chorus on this figurative suicidal line.             __1-800-273-8255__ Please could you pick up, it's feeling serious this time. My heart remains motionless, resembling a lifeless mannequin, and if you look closely, you may witness the damages. I cautiously open the door to my own insanity, but the idea of grappling with its dark influence feels overwhelmingly intimidating,— I can't handle this. Fear grips me as I contemplate unveiling my eyes, for I dread the somber reality that they will behold. Once again, I urge my thoughts to remain steadfast, like clothing hung on a line, as the echoes of the voices - The voices inside my head ring relentlessly, like an ominous chorus on this figurative suicidal line.             __1-800-273-8255__ Please could you pick up, it's feeling serious this time. A peculiar itch consumes my lips, almost as if I long for the  Death's kisses. Within the depths of my depression, I struggle to maintain a sense of identity, for this overwhelming sadness has become my greatest weakness. I endeavor to traverse the arduous path of mental instability, navigating the metaphorical distance of a "crazy mile". However, I feel invisible, unnoticed by the world as I bear witness to my own pain. The allure of escapism entices me, enticing me to run towards the temporary relief that a blade may bring,— cutting myself more this time. Once again, I beseech my thoughts to cling tightly, like clothes delicately draped on a line. The voices inside my head ring relentlessly, like an ominous chorus on this figurative suicidal line.             __1-800-273-8255__ Please could you pick up, it's feeling serious this time.

Manila is beautiful at night, Seen from overhead, high above rainclouds in the night sky with a tantalizing view of car exhaust and the debris of broken dreams Manila is beautiful at night. It comes and goes like a shadow in flickering light. At first, it hides behind wispy rain clouds, playful as a child hiding in his mother's skirt. If you look closely, it's lights glisten-- golden and teasing It's incessant winking, an almost promise of what's to come From your aerial vantage point, you wonder: "This is what it must be like to be an Angel when they fly" Below the city, with all it's secrets, sprawls like a handful: A rich lady's heirloom diamonds, thrown carelessly on a ***** floor. It will somehow remind you of a creature: perhaps human, or Leviathan in it's wake Cities, after all, are their own specie of living things At first it is looks like a Brain, with neurons and synapses electric and active Certain spots of the city: mall compelexes and large parking lots, like the nuclei of a brain cell the roads that lead to and fro, the cars zipping up and down in red and yellow lines remind you of dendrites and axons, stretching far They communicate with each other in their own language; a code Your imagination runs wild with untamed fantasy On next glance, it looks like a heart. The whole city pulses magnificently in unison it seems. Thud, thud. Thud, thud. You feel it? Your heart follows it's tantalizing rhythmic pattern, it's muscle beats Though and through the city pumps it's lifeblood into each nook and cranny Oh how it entices your passion so. At last you seem to hear it breathing. Listen closely and hear Manila inhale and exhale in steady tunes Inhale, and exhale-- a silence comes over you, And it's strangely reminiscent of amazement, excitement and bitter fear Your ears dull and you listen to the rush of air in your lungs, the deep drum bass of the pounding of your heart the dizzying feeling that exists in your brain Manila really is beautiful at night. In the shroud of darkness, it rises from slumber; Vivacious and lovely, it's seductive and free Manila is lovely. Manila is a woman, as it should be.

Like smoldering embers, a fire ablaze, Her mouth entices with a beguiling gaze. With every word, she weaves a spell, Those red smokey lips, her secret to tell. With each kiss, they unleash a storm, A tempest of longing, both soft and warm. They taste of wine and forbidden bliss, Leaving a trail of euphoria, hard to dismiss. They speak of secrets buried deep inside, Of dreams and fantasies she cannot hide. A veil of seduction, she gently unveils, As red smokey lips, her tale entails.

SMOKE AND KISSES
Step into to her world, a world where she lives - Of colors a plenty and flavors many, A flick of a hand, in measures she gives, Spices that tantalize, worth every penny. Red chillies an ounce, turmeric a pound, Spices scarlet, earthy, exotic, Peppercorns, cardamoms, whole or ground Brown bay leaves, cinnamon, aromatic. Wonders for the body that soothe and heal, Nurturing from nature, a stoic promise, From the choicest gardens, as senses reel, Fragrance of flavors in sensual bliss. Within her world, another world entices... Her voice in sweet whispers has tales to tell, Magic in dark eyes, the mistress of spices, With a flick of her hand she'll cast her spell. ( inspired by the title of the book with the same name. )

The Mistress Of Spices
You make me feel like A natural Woman. Like a woman with curves And hips that don’t lie, And ******* that don’t quit. You make me feel like An intelligent woman. Like a woman with intellect And thoughts in her mind And wits in her soul. You make me feel like A beautiful woman. Like a woman with sparkling eyes And luscious lips And a captivating smile. You make me feel like A wanted woman. Like a woman you desire With the touch of your hand And the song of your mouth. You make me feel like A real woman. Like a woman who wants And inspires And entices you. You make me feel like A powerful woman. Like a woman who can charm your heart And beguile your soul And devour you whole. You make me feel. You make me feel You make me feel Like a Woman.

You Cheeky *******
How I look at the world each day Is a curious interplay Of fire and earth, cadent and fixed, And often my impressions are mixed. The world entices me from the cocoon Of my Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon. How I shine and how I feel… To find a balance would be ideal. The goal, of course, is to do what's right; The nuances are ever so slight. It's just a matter of being in tune With my Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon. Although I'm more complex than this, Their strong influence is hard to miss. Understanding who I am Partly comes from the diagram Of what occurs when they commune-- My Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon. It isn't just as simple as that-- My Sun and Moon both having a chat. It might make me ill at ease To ignore the many intricacies Of aspecting planets. Never jejune Are my Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon. Add my Rising Sign and see How other people look at me. Virgo adds more earth to tame And somewhat soften my Leo flame. There's no reason to ever impugn My Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon. Finding answers within and without Helps to dispel the burden of doubt. Tools to study the self abound; What we discover can be profound. Knowledge of self comes never too soon With my Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon. -by Bob B (4-19-22)

My Leo Sun and My Taurus Moon
Mountains’ majesty a cave of amethyst brews confidence in its own perfection near the peak peeking into the crayon colored clouds. Desire for a moment free from earth where right above our heads the world is colorfully candid through a foggy wine-stained film. Glossy sun through glossy eyes entices the mind enough to lift legs one thousand and two steps up the mountain coiling through indigo trees on turquoise trails until we pass the purple threshold where it’s best to pass the time. Pomegranate lips smile stretching pomegranate skin yours tastes like otter pops and *** mine I imagine is similar with a hint of bad decisions. This reality is unrealistically appetizing contorting trails contort minds peaking at the sunset so close I swear we’re almost there.

Cave of Amethyst
A student of the crowded breeze. On a whim Raise like the dandelions' seed, Vibrantly dissent like, in fall, trees' leaves. An apostle of purpose beyond what one sees for the unknown is nothing and possibility. Our lessons are on the topic of practical whimsy, in their way; the wind that cools your face also fans a flame and guides the rain. The Sensei go by many names, I know them from the roles they play: Boreas shepherds my turmoil, A tempest; senseless, cold and violent as if without vision only vengeance. Notus shows my passion; A gust to an ember on dry land, Unreasonable, unpredictable and destructive without a plan. Zephyr entices my love; A subtle intimate current for dance, The beauty of birds and bees flying from flower to flower and branch to branch. Eurus reflects my way; A flurry that moves the sand. The removal of sediment, the return to foundation born from action mixed with patience. They can only guide me I can ride the winds of the odyssey or resign to the winds of dreams but I know I Am A student of the breeze.

In the black hills he lies, in his old Kentucky home. A passion within his mind, burning, despite the cold. He knows not what he is doing, thinking with a mind that is not his. He knows only that which can be known, and that is all there is. A wind is prevalent within him, one that chills him to the bone. Acting against his bitter nature, he stares down an unknown road. He swore he’d never act on impulse, he swore he’d never lose his mind. Focus was all he really had, then she came into his life. She takes away the security, the way he knows so well. But can she bring down his walls? Time will only tell. She entices him with greetings. With her, he feels so close. Still, he finds words escape him, in the presence of a black rose. No doubt that he fears change, and he fears what could be. He fears what he cannot control, and she is vigorous and free. Separated by a vast sea, yet strangely together in heart. He finds he knows not what to say, so he watches it fall apart. Act once on impulse, Twice on intuition. Act three is completely irrational, But brings this to fruition He tries to avoid reality, because he knows what it holds. He is absorbed within that passion, to avoid all the cold. In this old Kentucky home, among the black hills, he lies. Too fearful to take a chance, He’s found his spirit has died. And, so, by reaching out, he is met with only scorn. In reaching for that black rose, he has only grabbed her thorns.

Black Rose
your voice is a curse that i can never get rid of. it entices me, pulls me in until there is no more rope to be held and you have to throw me back out again just to reel me in once more so you can speak to me with your voice made of poison. i can never tell who’s worse. me. or you.

the fisherman’s tale.
She has a special Siren's song Pastel paisley, passion's Dawn. She's aloof, she takes on airs, Wearing seashells in her hair. Abalone, mother of pearl Arms that take in all the world! She Chuckles softly with the birds She speaks to stars without a word. She bids them run! She bids them hide! She tucks the mountains to her side. Then, whispering, she turns to wink The morning Sky will blush to Pink! Yes! Desert Thrashers laugh out loud! She's Tangled in the pewter clouds! She whistles low her magic tune, The dew soaked desert's her perfume. Though it's the Sun she courts and woos She entices all... the morning muse.

Always it does, But I can't shiver, Coldest in the river, Deathly river of tears, Excruciating is the pain, Filthy salty water it flows, Grandiose in society kills me, Hefty personal problems prey, I can't swallow so I don't eat any, ****** of ego I turn into since long, Killed me multiple times in a go daily, Lovelorn I die each moment I try to cry, Mouthful of unfriendly words help me die, Name of mine means incomparable literally, Ostensible concept of love entices me so much, Put me in a jail and stuff me behind the bars now, Quailing me is the loneliness that has been forever, Ruling out few occasions of company I stay so aloof, Sparing some days of happiness most are depressing, Toying with my own heart I feel my heart is hydrogen, Unattractive it is not & it could not stay segregated ever, Volumes of my voice have died out & so has my hearing, Wailing deep in my heart I let this sorrow seep in to sink, Xenophobic I ain't but of course I dislike enemies of love, Yucky thoughts of people assassinated my love last night, Zeroed in on the catalyst -strange enough- she herself is it.

The Cold Aura Surrounds Me
There’s a lagoon in my head separated from the fierce ocean of confidence by a low sandbank. The sand dawdles to diminish its size, with melancholy waves halting its ruckus, Water was never that loquacious, only cooing hastily on the salty air Quaint grains of mushy rutabaga make it hard to finagle, Because the sirens beautiful song entices me to sink So I flounce hysterically, unable to calm my mind. Her fair face freckled with sand gleams with odes of despair, Adding to the mournful steps of the receding tide. Waters once at a healthy level, wisp the fresh sea foam away. Jagged rocks now poke out from the depths, The vibrancy of her seaweed hair messy and curly, shrivels. The timid sand portrays such reserve in its frantic company, The waves crash on cue with such force, Predictability is only her turquoise concealment Ephemeral brine absorbed by desire, Encapsulated by the beige powder, That cannot dissolve.

There's A Lagoon In My Head
all it took was one sunny day, together with whispers from the birds, saying that it will come and the asphalt under your shoes tells the same story, the same as the trees, longing for cover as well as the smiles of the long forgotten people (and their happiness mesmerizes you) and suddenly, even the snow with its final breath agrees that **** it is probably coming And the conflict starts. your heart that screams of drunkenness, of wanting to burst, to be too **** high, of being alive crashes into your logic, your brain, saying “but this is good too” that this is the balance you need, the safe, the expected. the love. but when you’ve been starved for the ups the whole winter, eating only cold, white life it is hard to listen and the colours of spring entices you, making the black and white, the sense, draw its last breath as you walk away into the spring leaving all the beauty of winter to thaw out, leaving no trace except for a constant reminder of the cold parts in you that will never be warm

- this is where I’m leaving you
A growing sickness Flowing through my veins Burning away inside, eating me away As the darkness takes over from within. Lapses in sanity, I find myself lying In cold sweat, falling through the chasm And I know its only a matter of time Before the demon inside has arisen. A manic bloodlust takes over my being I ache for the violence to be set free. In their dead eyes, I see reflections of mine A murderous gleam shining within As my face stretches into a smile that isn’t mine. Every fibre of my being, repulsed by myself Petrified by the beast I have become I cry out in pain and anguish As I feel Him taking over again. Under the light of the gibbous moon I revel in my madness, as her Screams goad me on and take me To the precipice. I stand grinning at Her broken,bloody form in the earth As she whimpers a pathetic plea for mercy. No one knows of my disease; He only Claims my body for himself in the dark Leaving me behind to feel the horror and disgust In the cold, grey sunlight. Every night I struggle inside I fight against my inner devil, pleading For reason and humanity to return To the twisted ******* I have become. He stretches my face into a wide smirk Reminding me of that exquisite, repulsive Scent of flowing gore; He coaxes me, He cajoles, He beckons me to join Him As my will weakens and my body surrenders. And so ends my tale, I have lost myself To the contorted insanity I bred inside. Horrified, repulsed, revolted with my being My death only entices me now Promising relief from my unholy illness. But I know that small comfort is lost on me Eventually, He’ll possess me entirely And in the remorse of this truth I lie And I feel Him return inside, eagerly awaiting my demise No more can I hold out against Him. No more can I wear the mask of Jekyll.
