Your
Sultry
Eyes speak of
Impulsive thoughts.
Combine together
As one, our lust and love.
I hear my name unspoken
In your warm unwavering gaze.
Pressing kisses taste of surging need;
Awakening wild passion within me.

they
travel
overseas
seeking surgery
the cost is cheaper
in those destinations
yet medical tourist
can acquire those many unforeseen
infections after operations
the theaters of surgery lacking hygiene
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
our health services need to act quickly
surgery should be made affordable
then folks from here wouldn't require
cost saving operations
in countries overseas
those staph infections
would cease pronto
our jets not
landing
there
a
rainbow
came into view
as the hikers
trudged the high hill
its colors were dazzling
they stood for many a minute
marveling at its bright palette
no handsome *** of gold could be seen
but nature had provided a grand scene

Get
wealthy:
the rich man
needs no heaven.
Everything's for sale:
take stock of the market…
prices and caprices vary
in the most bizarre of bazaars
we haggle with a zest for barter
and bargain away the best of ourselves
with third world orders of exploitation
a good greed never goes unpunished
in the most bizarre of bazaars
broken is quite optimal—
don't take it personal:
profits and prophets
both burn in hell
the poor man
prays for
rain.
the
fellows
at the beach
waxed surf boards
out they did paddle
some had wipe outs on the crests
others tunneled through barrels
summer time is such a super time
to watch surfers challenging waves
those
autumn
color hues
russets and golds
lay in the park lands
children tumble them up
with their feet making piles
they bury themselves neath colors
the waste of warmer days a fun place
lively children playing under the leaf quilt
poet
oh poet
artisan
of the message
superbly designing
imagery and mind moods
the world would be the poorer
without your impressive wordage
we rejoice in the stroke of your quill
poet master craftsman sculptor of the page
the
cauldron's
strong potion
was manifest
in a dire toxin
simmering to the ***'s rim
this was a stupid portent
doom would be destine to prevail
the elements mixed in error
which ensured a disaster's outcome
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
bad omens were foretold by the recipe
the black sorcerer no smart blender
to late to change the concoction
it boiled over then blew
he'd not been very careful
in how magic works
such a novice
with dark spells
oh so
silly

"Oh/
What Sad/
The Nile Brings!"
"A Lonesome Past/
The Tree Loving Birds/
In Their Feathers Were Clung'd!"
"Not A Day Would Sorrow Cease/
Not A Joy Would My Respite Know!"
"Drowning In This Heathen Of Despair/
Battered Still' But I Long To Someday Rise!"

he
for whom
abstinence
or indulgence
merely imposters
ever equanimous
untouched by cosmic maya
bearing that crescent on his crown
steeped in the bliss of pure awareness
primal soul with no beginning or end

Etheree:: 10 line poem where each line has one syllable more than the previous, first line is 1, second is 2 and so on
Timothy Brown Mar 2014
At
the end
of a busy
intersection
perpendicular
from where I was standing
I could see sun reflecting
off auburn hair and a green dress.
and the wind carried a scent of sweet
honey, vanilla lotion and Jasmine
An Etheree is a 10 line poem wherein each line contains the number of syllables corresponding to that line.

Bow
before
the wolf king.
Lunar crown reign
midnight is my cloak;
the forest is my throne.
Kinship my only counsel
lupine sapience, eyes aglow
this grin a gala of guillotines
for those that would question such majesty.
silvery tresses of moonlight cascaded
down upon the palm tree lined shore
where young couples slowly strolled
taking in the night's ambiance
tarrying on the sea air
an affection wave
played with joy
so sweetly
in their
hearts
many interludes of laughter pealed
from a jovial kookaburra
who sat high on the elm tree's branch
gaily chortling to himself
as the dawning sun rose
of such merry tidings
the bird did bring
uplifting
was his
joy
######
he'd
given
the new day
a jolliness
the mood of much glee
making his chuckling tones
the sound great to listen to
enlivening the heart's spirits
with a bright awakening call
ever so happy in the morning staging
in
the land
down under
retired folk
get on the roadways
touring extensive countryside
their destinations do vary
some go to the coastal strips while some
do the inland trek in the red hues
we call these older folks the grey nomads
dusk descends upon the Oz bush landscape
the sun slowly reclines westward
cattle and sheep make for nightly camps
the faint sound of birds are heard
gum trees cast last shadows
o'er the land a hush
day closes
then to
night
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
stars
aplenty
fill the sky
the scent of earth
flows on the soft breeze
so calming those night hours
the country is serene and still
how fortunate we who live here
in a place which is like paradise
as the moon sails across the bushland skies
Sean Keane May 2010
Up

Look up

You missed it

Artwork up high

Do not ignore it

The glory of the sky

Way bigger than little you

A humbling experience

You are human but you are so small

If you think, it doesn’t matter at all
Ryan Almighty May 2018
She’s
perfect
like the moon,
breathtakingly
mesmerizing that,
you can easily overlook
the imperfections in her.
She makes you want to fall in love
with her over and over again;
until the last breath followed by endless void.
Laughing Wolf Dec 2015
The
shallow
waters pool
between my toes
shoreline shark vigils:
hungry liquid shepherds.

I wade past respectfully...
I am no seal, to be broken
littoral edges drawn crestfallen
the point of no empyreal return.

Crepuscular accession, immersion
salt stinging my eyes as I gill bliss,
pressure slowly crushing my lungs
burst capillaries tandem,
bones imploding in deep
thought actinism.

An organic
plight to make
the lost
light.
his
desire
welled up
in crescendo
as she displayed
her appealing features  
he so wanted to dandle
with them by the open fire hearth
there they could make some steamy music
as the flames flared up on that night
her
flaxen
colored hair
did fall loosely
down upon her back
in the naked sunlight
her hair beguiled her lover
he then drew her close to his body
passionately kissing her bare *******
as the glints of sunlight warmed their hearts
she
is cold
we can feel
her winter breath
she chills our napes
with her gelid icy hand
we take to our warming hearths
to shelter from her frostiness
she has no charity nor any compassion
how baleful her season of bitterness
the
moon's glow
lights the sky
with a grand orb
all night long it shall
keep company with the stars
together they'll decorate
the heavens in brilliant splendor
all nocturnal creatures will marvel
at the sublime display that they'll witness
Katie Lorenzo May 2013
What?
Sorry.
I missed that.
I was thinking
about the lake and
the way it looks at night
and the way I smell of it
after an afternoon shore-side
and the way you kissed me in the waves
with your salty lips and warm, sandy skin.

*k.l.
a
south wind
blows this day
a sure signal
that falls on the way
the tree foliage shall change
to browns, golds and bright fire reds
we're in a seasonal transition
we've been alerted to this condition
AmeriMav Oct 2018
Sweet
Supple
Elegant
Light of the stars
Your radiant glow
Is quite opalescent
Glorious shine sets ablaze
Heart and soul in a dizzy haze
Fine as porcelain your soft white skin
A masterpiece like a pearl prized by men
a peaceful mood is within the country's chair  
rain drops falling dispersing their fare
the bushland no more in despair
a quenching drink on soils bare
terrain out of dry lair
getting a wet share
lands now repair
moist the care
goodly
air
Frances Ayers Aug 2014
Who
Knew
The sea
Was free
Of  petty
And heady
Games humans play
Yet on display
A rough and tumble
Albeit humble
Visage of simple grace
She keeps an onward pace
To march with the sands of time
And cherishes the sublime
With a truthful gaze,for all men
And welcomes all into her den
Creatures that boast with unending pride
Called forth to answer,they can not hide
All who honor her,are sent on a path
A life changing journey,without her wrath
the odium of the thing not forgotten
all about it twas dead set rotten
the nose did well recall the stench
enough to make the gut wrench
the fresh air did smell neat
it twas a great treat
begone gross stink
that rat fink
bad its
ad

She

whispers

rhapsodies

into my ears

draped in love and care.

The idyllic lyrics

and the mystique of her voice

soak my soul in a pint of trance

when she blossoms like a lily in

my arms, to fortify my heart with love.

the
moon's glow
lights the sky
with a grand orb
all night long it shall
keep company with the stars
together they'll decorate
the heavens in brilliant splendor
all nocturnal creatures will marvel
at the sublime display they'll witness
the poet's quill doth fill the page everyday
with a wordage selection array
readers do thrall in these displays
of images light of ray
so too of shades grey
on any given day
quills work away
to bring forth
poetic
plays
