Sweet Flowers of May (sonnet)
Sweet flowers of May how you do entice
lifting and filling my soul with beauty
swaying in the breeze and releasing spice
aromas that enthral sharp and minty
Tumbling roses cover the pergola
sweet musky scent is hanging in the air
robust colours of the gladiola
poking up a most tempting derrière
Fascinated I watch it bob about
as my lover stoops pulling out the weeds
hot and sweaty he does a turnabout
holding my hand he now shows me his deeds
Beds free of weeds that able to flourish
just like our love for each other we cherish
lifting and filling my soul with beauty
swaying in the breeze and releasing spice
aromas that enthral sharp and minty
Tumbling roses cover the pergola
sweet musky scent is hanging in the air
robust colours of the gladiola
poking up a most tempting derrière
Fascinated I watch it bob about
as my lover stoops pulling out the weeds
hot and sweaty he does a turnabout
holding my hand he now shows me his deeds
Beds free of weeds that able to flourish
just like our love for each other we cherish

About this poem:
this is my 300th poem posted on here I hope people like it
online today!Love to Share
Freedom some say is something to fight for
Was that before or after the war’s won
So each generation will fight this war
Always finishing what was left undone
Scarce the peace ‘till another battle fought
Does dust ever settle on warring tribes
Pouring lead down barrels of guns have brought
Only nation’s wealth paying off the bribes
One life to live, another give away
Really amount to anything that much
For in the end we go our merry way
And only the past becomes out of touch
What matters most in life is love we share
And showing each other how much we care
Was that before or after the war’s won
So each generation will fight this war
Always finishing what was left undone
Scarce the peace ‘till another battle fought
Does dust ever settle on warring tribes
Pouring lead down barrels of guns have brought
Only nation’s wealth paying off the bribes
One life to live, another give away
Really amount to anything that much
For in the end we go our merry way
And only the past becomes out of touch
What matters most in life is love we share
And showing each other how much we care

About this poem:
A sonnet for peace in this world in our lifetime.online today!In A Hollow Tween
Cast adrift your broken web still flutters
Now the dew has become a patterned frost
Hanging down off the ol' clacking shutters
One flapping loudly back and forth is tossed
Barn has gone unpainted another year
Tractor parked quiet in an open bay
Green cat eyes from beneath the hay bales peer
Its shaggy winter coat all tufted gray
Quiet now only the cold breeze echo
Its hollow and dry humming sounds sneer
Moving like waves down the browned grass meadow
Waiting for that first snowfall to appear
The sun slips quickly past the horizon
A scarecrow stands all tattered and wizened
Now the dew has become a patterned frost
Hanging down off the ol' clacking shutters
One flapping loudly back and forth is tossed
Barn has gone unpainted another year
Tractor parked quiet in an open bay
Green cat eyes from beneath the hay bales peer
Its shaggy winter coat all tufted gray
Quiet now only the cold breeze echo
Its hollow and dry humming sounds sneer
Moving like waves down the browned grass meadow
Waiting for that first snowfall to appear
The sun slips quickly past the horizon
A scarecrow stands all tattered and wizened

About this poem:
Just having a play with whole Halloween theme in this write from the now cold New England countryside.online today!Secret Love Affair
A wet look in your eyes which makes them shine
Reflections of much desire coming through
Twin beacons of searching love be the sign
Becomes the very best we ever knew
Grab hold of my hand let’s run fast away
Away from a place we need escape from
Past the afternoon to pass time of day
Until somewhere near tomorrow does come
Like sweet smell of forest after it rains
Wash and kiss clean upon our human face
Till only the wild scent of flowers remains
Exploring ourselves in our secret place
Precious is time measured in breathes we take
When our world is more what our love can make
Reflections of much desire coming through
Twin beacons of searching love be the sign
Becomes the very best we ever knew
Grab hold of my hand let’s run fast away
Away from a place we need escape from
Past the afternoon to pass time of day
Until somewhere near tomorrow does come
Like sweet smell of forest after it rains
Wash and kiss clean upon our human face
Till only the wild scent of flowers remains
Exploring ourselves in our secret place
Precious is time measured in breathes we take
When our world is more what our love can make

About this poem:
Kind of fantasist’s glimpse of a free and unbridled love affair……without hiding under any forbidden inhibitions whatsoever!!Some Dreams Never Last (sonnet)
Softly the breeze flows through scented meadows
gentle sounds of water from the rivers
and haunting notes of music crescendos
in the distant background from the speakers
A cascading shower of climbing roses
she waits for her lover impatiently
over his lateness she agonizes
at last his footsteps coming hurriedly
He catches her up in his arms and spins
round and round until dizzy they both fall
her heart and emotions are now tailspins
she loves knowing it could lead to downfall
For to another one he is promised
yet he tells her that his heart belongs to her
she knows that he is a materialist
at first it had seemed a great adventure
Sighing she tells him that he must depart
his plans of her seduction now thwart
gentle sounds of water from the rivers
and haunting notes of music crescendos
in the distant background from the speakers
A cascading shower of climbing roses
she waits for her lover impatiently
over his lateness she agonizes
at last his footsteps coming hurriedly
He catches her up in his arms and spins
round and round until dizzy they both fall
her heart and emotions are now tailspins
she loves knowing it could lead to downfall
For to another one he is promised
yet he tells her that his heart belongs to her
she knows that he is a materialist
at first it had seemed a great adventure
Sighing she tells him that he must depart
his plans of her seduction now thwart

Enamorada (Soneto asonante)
Cantar tu musa tierna es mi delirio
tomar tu pipermín es mi ternura
besar tus dulces labios mi fortuna
estar entre tus brazos mi tiovivo.
Ya deja que revuelen los sentidos
aquí donde la malva bien perfuma
y el trino del sinsonte nos adula
cual Silfo del amor…de un paraíso.
Yo sigo con pasión enamorada
de todo lo que ronda en tu contorno:
las nubes, los gorriones, cascanueces…
Yo quiero hoy enseñarte el cosmorama
de mucha intensidad…de muchos rojos…
y sepas que soy Venus que te quiere.
Mariluz Reyes
Pipermín, bebida de mental
tomar tu pipermín es mi ternura
besar tus dulces labios mi fortuna
estar entre tus brazos mi tiovivo.

About this poem:
Basado en una relación amorosaonline today!Casual Encounters
Kiss me and calm my wild fluttering heart
Gently swaddled in your protective arms
So fragile is love newborn from the start
Keeping safe from the world and all its harms
Hug me new lover on a summer night
Softly stroke your gentle caressing touch
Fire burning bright, flames of passion ignite
Two souls unbounded in each other’s clutch
Rest now our faces upturned to the stars
Ascending window of heaven a dream
What is life but now love is always ours
As sunlight reflects at night its moonbeam
Pass the desire we have spent on its shores
Brightly both eyes reflect, mine into yours
Gently swaddled in your protective arms
So fragile is love newborn from the start
Keeping safe from the world and all its harms
Hug me new lover on a summer night
Softly stroke your gentle caressing touch
Fire burning bright, flames of passion ignite
Two souls unbounded in each other’s clutch
Rest now our faces upturned to the stars
Ascending window of heaven a dream
What is life but now love is always ours
As sunlight reflects at night its moonbeam
Pass the desire we have spent on its shores
Brightly both eyes reflect, mine into yours

About this poem:
One hot summer night, when all that really mattered was achieved, given freely and returned in kind.online today!Dream Girl
Bless your kiss be the gentlest touch of love
More tempting than a bowl of ripe berries
Sweetened by the warm summer sun above
Glossed lips, the color of dark red cherries
Your finger is a brush of softest kind
Painting every stroke across my face
So restful my relaxing peace of mind
Brings me to this amazing state of grace
Your voice is an angel singing a song
A rare mountain warbler on a pine bough
Perfect pitch serenades me all along
Like notes from a Master’s violin bow
So rare in form does my nature adorn
The most beautiful woman ever born
More tempting than a bowl of ripe berries
Sweetened by the warm summer sun above
Glossed lips, the color of dark red cherries
Your finger is a brush of softest kind
Painting every stroke across my face
So restful my relaxing peace of mind
Brings me to this amazing state of grace
Your voice is an angel singing a song
A rare mountain warbler on a pine bough
Perfect pitch serenades me all along
Like notes from a Master’s violin bow
So rare in form does my nature adorn
The most beautiful woman ever born

About this poem:
Feeling a little 'romanticism' tonight. Oh Dream Girl where are you?? :)online today!Darth Robinson (The Things I Would Take Challenge)
Three essential items for survival
Ten years on an island of pure delight
Might sound strange at the time of arrival
But would at least give me a chance to fight
A hunting knife first on my list narrow
A handy weapon and for skinning game
Carving wood to make my bows and arrows
Making traps and snares and more of the same
A big butane lighter is such a must
They are good for about four thousand lights
Thirdly, a Coghlan’s six function compass
Look them up see how this item delights
Ten years, a long time without a razor
Maybe trade the compass for a laser...

About this poem:
Had fun with this one….. Thanks Shadow for the challenge!!online today!She Really Rocks
Something casual in the way she walks
Across the street stridden in slim blue jeans
With her new fry boots on she really rocks
Not that I gaze and gawk by any means
How her long brown hair flutters in the breeze
Those pretty eyes that sparkle with her smile
Making me feel all wobbly in the knees
Hiding a sly grin which doesn’t beguile
What a poor pounding heart skippin’ a beat
Perhaps not too cool as I look around
And trying my hardest to keep my feet
Rising and floating too high off the ground
For girls knowin’ natural history
Attracting a man ain’t no mystery
Across the street stridden in slim blue jeans
With her new fry boots on she really rocks
Not that I gaze and gawk by any means
How her long brown hair flutters in the breeze
Those pretty eyes that sparkle with her smile
Making me feel all wobbly in the knees
Hiding a sly grin which doesn’t beguile
What a poor pounding heart skippin’ a beat
Perhaps not too cool as I look around
And trying my hardest to keep my feet
Rising and floating too high off the ground
For girls knowin’ natural history
Attracting a man ain’t no mystery
