dare to be silly

who dares to be silly,
no matter what.
Part of her everyday
make-up is her smile! ♥

This is another poem I contributed to Scott’s awesome new blog, where he unselfishly shares the work of others. So I hope you’ll take the time to visit his site and you’ll be amazed at all the lovely talent!

Lying on the sand
contoured to our needs
no one watches
but the moon and stars
and if they could talk
what a story to be told

We’re all alone
You and me
with souls entwined
we share ecstasy
gliding to the melody
played by the waves
their rhythm joins us
in the moves we create

Can we stay,
embraced,
skin on skin,
and begin again?

Scott’s rave: Wow, my eyes and soul just drank a cafe mocha with whipped cream! I think all my favorite poets are trying to give me an art attack of sensual flow. This one from LScott is obviously no exception and seems to bring together everything one could hope for in describing such a moment. The setting and sensual embrace of both soul and body. So beautifully composed LScott! Please visit LScott Poetry and dive even deeper…

This is another sample from the 8 or less minute challenge on Scott’s new blog. It also would have been without a title had it not been for him choosing a great one! 🙂

Scott Mitchell's avatar8 Minutes or Less

Waves touch ever so gently
A subtle gesture
not to intimidate
but to lovingly bait
The shore lies still
only to anticipate
the cool stroke

Wind blows a bit stronger
waves take a little longer
the craving builds up
before rushing in
to kiss the shore
and lap up sweetness
from where
it pours

Scott’s rave: I read this tantalizing poem several times! Oceans, waves, and shores are all keywords to awaken my romantic imagination and this one from LScott is a perfect example! She allowed me to name it so I chose “Wake” for it’s dual meaning that fits in both senses here. The wave behind a moving object that spreads as it’s moving forward and the obvious event of a sensual moment evolving, or waking. Oh, how I want to lovingly bait my anticipating muse and show her all my love and desire I…

This is such a beautiful beginning to the new blossoming season from Christine…

I love spring,
how she yawns and stretches,
quiet confidence;
instinct melded with a trust
that says it’s okay to go.
She was almost fooled
a couple of times this year,
but not enough to daunt
or throw off course.

And now look at those shoots;
delicate still, a little pale, but
granite firm and ready.
They have work to do,
an audience to captivate,
starring roles to support.
And as always, will succeed;
why would this year be any different?

I must be dreaming
as you captivate
all my senses
so relentlessly
the way you linger
over curves
taking me
over the edge
I give my love
as you deserve
There’s no denying
you’re more than real
the way you make me feel
forget the world
we’re in our own
with no escaping
until dawn

Scott’s rave: One of LScott’s beautiful poems she wrote in only 7 minutes and made my day by allowing it posted here! Oh, the passionate moments that feel like a dream with the one we love and our senses are “relentlessly” captivated! It’s a moment that two don’t even see an option to halt, as something else has taken over. Perhaps that’s why the title “Trance” fits perfectly here. I also call it “heartquake” and nothing compares to it. Please visit and follow LScott Poetry to enjoy more of her…

A Very Special Rose

rose


Many flowers live in gardens
Their colors add light to our days
but one bud shines brighter than others
It’s special in so many ways

 This flower radiates strength
and our world is a better place
with all the love that is offered
in it’s very warm embrace

This is dedicated to my
very special blogging friend,
Granbee,
also known as Rose.

She hasn’t blogged in a long time
and I miss her.
I know I’m not alone,
as she is missed by many.
She remains in our prayers
and we hope to be graced
by her presence again.

We love you, Rose ♥

Happy Heart Day! ♥

hugs and hearts

Here’s a Valentine wish
for my hubby to whom I’m smitten
and to all of you
who peek at what I’ve written,
to my dearly missed Mom,
it’s been a year since she’s been gone
to my family who support me,
they’re as strong as the sea

Today isn’t just a day for lovers,
It’s a day of love that covers
everyone who adds
color to your life,
lessens the strife,
adds calm to your crazy,
brings life to your lazy,
and adds love with a hug.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

With many x’s and o’s,
Lauren
