I MET A GREAT GUY ON LINE
AND HAD THE MOST FABULOUS TIME 'CHATTING' AWAY
TO THIS MAN EVERY DAY
AND FALLING IN LOVE WITH HIS MIND
WE GOT ON SO WELL
IT WAS EASY TO TELL
WE MATCHED! WE WERE TWO OF A KIND
WE TALKED AND WE JOKED 'ON THE SCREEN'
COULD THIS BE THE MAN OF MY DREAMS?
HE CALLED! AND SUGGESTED WE MEET
OH! LORD I WAS GETTING COLD FEET!
BUT HE SOUNDED SO GREAT
I AGREED TO A DATE!
NEXT DAY HE ASKED FOR A DATE
HE SOUNDED SO NICE, I DIDN'T THINK TWICE
SAID ¨YES: I'LL MEET YOU AT EIGHT¨.
AND THOUGHT ¨WOW¨! I CAN'T WAIT!¨
HE SAID ¨DINNER AND WINE¨?
SHALL I BOOK IT FOR NINE¨?
I SAID, ÖH ! YES THAT'S FINE¨
WAS SO NERVOUS I COULDN'T GET DRESSED
TOTALLY WOUND UP AND STRESSED!
¨WHICH DRESS? ¨I CAN'T CHOOSE
AND ¨HEAVENS! WHAT SHOES¨?
COULD THIS REALLY BE MR RIGHT?
THAT I'M MEETING AT EIGHT TONIGHT
SO 'WHY THEN AM I UPTIGHT'
BUT I HAD A GREAT TIME
AND SOON I SIGNED OUT!-OFF LINE.
i FOUND THIS FAB MAN ON THE NET
I KNEW AS SOON AS WE MET
HE WAS FUN, HE WAS KIND
HE 'GOT INTO' MY MIND
IN A WAY THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET!
AND HAD THE MOST FABULOUS TIME 'CHATTING' AWAY
TO THIS MAN EVERY DAY
AND FALLING IN LOVE WITH HIS MIND

About this poem:
I wrote this poem, 'inspired' by someone I corresponded with on Connecting Singles, when I first went 'on line' The rest, I leave to your imagination!!
The Thanksgiving Guest!
The Thanksgiving Guest!
He was a special college friend of her brother, alone for the Holidays!
Her brother had invited him to share Thanksgiving dinner as a sleep over guest with their family!
A spark ignited when his sister and his friend met, cupid’s bow of love was heavenly set!
At first meet their eyes did intertwine, the warmth of the holiday overflowed, their eyes did shine!
He was like a breath of spring, a collision course that would end with a diamond ring!
The aroma of cooking did abound, from roasting turkey to pumpkin pie!
The college friend didn’t have a chance, they fell in love at first glance!
When the cooking was finally through, she sat next to him at Thanksgiving’s banquet’s table, of course this you knew!
They pasted food of scrumptious taste, she knew sitting next to him was her new life’s place!
After dinner, music was king, in the living room she still sat next to him!
Alone at last, he asked her for a dance,
Oh! How could she resist as she hungered for his kiss!
They danced and danced, it was so divine, full of Thanksgiving heavenly bliss!
His arms enclosed upon her waist, to him he knew it was their place!
The music was heaven sent, they danced in heaven’s fond embrace!
Their bodies melted as if but one, entranced not wanting the day to be done!
He was no longer just a guest, he had pasted life’s lover’s test!
The days flew bye, he had to go, she didn’t want him to leave, she loved him so!
As he left, he whispered quietly in her ear, as he didn’t want the rest of the family to hear!
Would you be my wife to be, I have looked for you eternally!
She gazed back into his eyes, She gave her answer, it was no surprise!
I give my love all to you, I really love you, I really do!
It was a Thanksgiving holiday, a day of giving thanks!
They both had fallen in love into a thankful romance!
I just have this to say, life is full of surprises, it could happen to you!
Happy Thanksgiving day!

Love can be found where you least expect it!Happy Thanksgiving!
Dear Poets in our Poetry Corner,,,
Amidst the sadness and the strife..
And all of the harsh realites that have become my life..
I've a place that I can go...
To contemplate and rejuvinate my soul
Oh ,Hot rod Larry how you do lift my soul,
reminding me of what it is I already know...
Passionatepoet, well it's been awhile.. but I do wish you'd come back and share your amazing style..
Sophiasummer how you light my way.. with the words of wisdom that you display..

And Jeddah12 you are new to me... but your poetry, well it is Heavenly..

I can't belive I am lucky enough to read your amazing words.. that linger constantly in my head..

But his talent is here so very well known...

And Hedistuff... you're amazing poems.......

Then of course there is Andrew..
Whose poems are like a book...I suppose..
Oh how many endless nights have I fallen asleep to his amazing prose.
And let us not forget Boyscharme.. although he has momentarily strayed it would seem...
How many times, did his awesome words...
Cradle me in my dreams...
And then there is my Gypsy friend,
who has departed and yet her words still remain..
Her sytle her text, her phenomonal words
always will in my heart reign..
And Pinkpoetress..how you've made me smile..
when everything was grey...
Kudos to you sweetheart.....
For all the times you've made my day...
To Poetengineer, well words cannot express,the way your words
have cleaved to my soul,
And dear Paloma, what a way with words you have, they've made me laugh and sometimes cry,.but always a pleasure it is to read from you, sometimes I welcome a good cry.

May we all join to greet our beautiful long time member poet friend of ours..MS RAPTURE CAPTURE, OUR BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED AND LOVELY MARTINAThanks..
Chocolate body art(soulgoddess challenge)
Warm, soft, creamy body draped perfectly over the kitchen table,
dreamy eyes looking softly into his, two soft gentle hands holding the
glass bowl in place on top of her chest, warm melted ribbons of chocolate
poured into the bowl now glistened in a pool waiting.
He dipped his paintbrush into the chocolate and decided her full lips
needed to be decorated first, she moaned and tasted the sweet treat dripping from her lips into her mouth, when her lips where covered in a thick layer he placed the brush back in the bowl, and looking deep into her eyes he leaned in and licked her lips slowly making sure to get every drop, she shivered at the look in his eyes when he leaned back and picked up his brush.
she could not wait to see what he painted next.

Darling, can I be your ‘Moon’?
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
When you have no one to talk to
When you can see nothing around you
When time gets tough when you feel blue
When troubles are many and you can't get through
Whenever you don’t know what to do
Please look above the sky
You’ll see a glistening sign
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be your moon
I’ll keep shining for you every night
I may not be there (with you) now but soon I might
When you have tears in your eyes
When you have lost your smiles
When you have no one cares
When you have had nightmares
Whenever you think life is unfair
Please look above the sky
You’ll see a gleaming sign
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be your moon
I’ll keep shining for you every night
I’ll light up your quiet longest night
I’ll brighten up your scariest dream
Embrace you with love diminish your scream
I’ll be your moon
I’ll be with you every night
Never be too far though you may out of my sight
Always close in my heart you're my only knight
I’ll be your moon
One day we’ll reach each other soon
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
..
So, darling can I be your 'Moon'?
..
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
When you have no one to talk to
When you can see nothing around you
When time gets tough when you feel blue
When troubles are many and you can't get through

I’ll be there for you
I’ll be your moon
I’ll keep shining for you every night
I’ll light up your quiet longest night
I’ll brighten up your scariest dream
Embrace you with love diminish your scream
I’ll be your moon
I’ll be with you every night
Never be too far though you may out of my sight
Always close in my heart you're my only knight

About this poem:
New Orleans Voodoo Queen
New Orleans Voodoo queen
traveling through my mirror
slipping naked between my sheets
cafe-au-lait mahogany dream
lost in the blackness of her hair
vastness in her hips
beautiful hands roll the bones
amulets and whispers that moan
exotic sultry secrets from ruby lips
trembling shaking emerald trinkets...
Casting her spell of gris-gris and charms
wind comes, clouds gather around her arms
One drink of her potion I am paralyzed
candlelight dancing in deep black eyes
gaze of the screech owl and vampire bat
crows fly, cats cry and dogs howl
soon I will be among the walking dead
she the master her needs to be fed...
She shakes her fist I begin to dance
beguiling teasing me with child-like innocence
stealing my soul with only a glance
a woman unlike any I have ever seen
the daughter of voodoo
and she is a queen...

The way she makes me feel
Goose bumps covering my body,
Shivers down my spine,
My body tingles from top to toe,
My god, she’s Divine.
Perspiration on my brow,
In habitations fled,
Thoughts of her, and all she does,
Running round my head.
All my thoughts and feelings,
Deep inside of me,
Waiting for that special moment,
When she comes and sets me free.
To some this may seem silly,
And not such a big deal,
But then they'd need to realize,
It's the way she makes me feel

About this poem:
The way she makes me feel
Forgiveness (Haiku) : A Message For Peace
Don’t cause any pain
Free all those you rule or reign
Life is yours to gain
Give back some you take
Greed’s ambiguous mistake
Stain a heart with hate
Faces take much form
Good cheer and smiles do warm
Take back those which harm
Care is made with love
Rewarded you from above
Peace to make world of
All those gone astray
Will return to love one day
When fear goes away
Free all those you rule or reign
Life is yours to gain
Give back some you take
Greed’s ambiguous mistake
Stain a heart with hate
Faces take much form
Good cheer and smiles do warm
Take back those which harm
Care is made with love
Rewarded you from above
Peace to make world of
All those gone astray
Will return to love one day
When fear goes away

About this poem:
It's unimaginable the good will that could be achieved if only the top 100-200 human beings in position of leadership in this world could care enough about our planet to forgive old debts and choose love over war. Let's start over!
Rattles
I heard the rattle in my throat
That distinctive sound
Of gargling with shotgun pellets
Aunt Mavis knew what it meant
She had heard it all before
Forty years in the chicken factory
Had taught her a thing or two
But I didn’t bother to pass
Best that I just ignore it
Pearly gates never did anything for me
That’s the trouble with Atheism
You are just stuck in the middle
Looking up or down
But nowhere really to go
The milkman once said to me
Son, always be prepared
For what lies on the other side
I wasn’t sure what he meant
So I crossed the busy road
Still holding the four leaf clover
I had stolen from the dead man's hand
And clutching the St Christopher
Aunt Mavis swore would keep me safe
Forty years in the chicken factory
Had taught her a thing or two
They was advertised at the store
Death rattles for sale
Buy one, get one free
Why would you ever want two?
When one would always be
Much more than sufficient
Still, better to be safe than sorry
That distinctive sound
Of gargling with shotgun pellets
Aunt Mavis knew what it meant
She had heard it all before
Forty years in the chicken factory
Had taught her a thing or two
But I didn’t bother to pass
Best that I just ignore it
Pearly gates never did anything for me
That’s the trouble with Atheism
You are just stuck in the middle
Looking up or down
But nowhere really to go
The milkman once said to me
Son, always be prepared
For what lies on the other side
I wasn’t sure what he meant
So I crossed the busy road
Still holding the four leaf clover
I had stolen from the dead man's hand
And clutching the St Christopher
Aunt Mavis swore would keep me safe
Forty years in the chicken factory
Had taught her a thing or two
They was advertised at the store

Buy one, get one free
Why would you ever want two?
When one would always be
Much more than sufficient
Still, better to be safe than sorry
