Poems that can get you in touch with your softer side.

Self Turn On

 

      Self Turn On

What makes you come alive?

Is it the way you take all in stride?

Is it mystery & adventure of life?

Is it the love you have for your wife?

If single, what turns you on?

The love of all who come along?

Do you live life on the edge?

Taking risks and pushing the hedge?

Are you the isolative type?

A good book is your biggest hype?

Do you make an effort to look for love?

Or, does it come to you, like love from above?

Do you enjoy watching others?

Wondering what it is they utter?

They mumble to themselves as they go along.

Maybe they hear voices? Could that be wrong?

Maybe you’re a TV addict?

Watching the tube, you’re really at it.

Maybe it is technical interest of any kind.

Convoluted enough to blow your mind.

Maybe gambling gives you a thrill?

Blowing your own money at your own will?

Maybe ‘hot’ cars is your turn on?

Racing a mean machine. Better than a bong.

Playing or watching sports of any kind?

That might be just what you have in mind.

Whatever it is, does it serve the need?

Is it something you want to retrieve?

Is it something that is good for you?

Or, is it something you shouldn’t do?

Self evaluation & understanding may help.

Something that will make her heart melt.

Make you someone she can look up to.

Instead of someone who only turns on you.

Crazy Love, Or Lack Of

      Crazy Love, Or Lack Of

This is not a marriage, it is an arrangement.

Our romance has been put into containment.

Intimately speaking, you don’t want me to touch you.

Intimately speaking, touching me, you won’t do.

All is off limits for an unknown reason.

I would almost think that you are teasing.

But, you are not. you’re as serious as a heart attack.

After years of marriage, I don’t know what to think of that.

Could it be you have a new love interest?

You deny this. No boyfriend or mistress.

You just will not discuss the matter.

It leaves me with my thoughts all scattered.

There seems no way to get to the bottom of this.

Apparently, in some way, I have been remiss.

It’s a lover’s question I’d like to know?

This whole thing is a brand new show.

The whole thing leads to extreme frustration.

It can’t even be fixed with masturbation.

Who do you see when this problem happens?

To a ‘sex therapist’? I doubt it would change the action.

This is something only women can understand.

It is not something that is rational for a man.

Will A Little Dab Do Ya?

 

      Will A Little Dab Do Ya?

A little dab will do ya.

I heard this often as a teen.

You will look so cool! Yeah!

Need any more be keen?

 

Yes! A lot more can be said.

Hair gel doesn’t get it.

If you’re looking to be wed,

shape up, just a little bit.

 

It was big when I was young.

Slick down the hair & turn them on.

Big hype to get a honey bun.

But, in the end, they would be gone.

 

Some call it growing up.

Others  say experience is the best teacher.

I don’t mean to interrupt.

But, there is more than being a preacher.

 

To each his own when it comes to love.

You don’t find it, it finds you.

Unless you are talking about love from above,

there is usually a lot to go through.

 

There are disappointments and hurts.

There is ups and downs along the road of life.

Your happy times may come in spurts.

Or, you may cruise along with minimal strife.

 

Best choice is be true to yourself.

Treat others as you wish to be treated.

Be trustful. No hitting below the belt.

The Golden Rule will keep you from being deleted.

 

What goes around comes around.

Karma, or whatever, it will come back on you.

If your motives are on solid ground

what comes back will be good too.

 

A little dab may do ya when you’re young.

But, as you mature, much more is needed.

Before your love life has really begun,

build on the foundation that is the sweetest.

Music From The Heart

      Music From The Heart

I play my guitar while you are sleeping.

I look down and see you smile.

I know in my heart, you are worth keeping.

I am happy you’re around for awhile.

 

I create a song to reflect my feelings.

It reaches deep within my soul.

I never want to hear that you are leaving.

To be yours forever, is my goal.

 

My guitar and I have seen a lot.

It is with me all the time.

I express my feelings on the spot.

By these rhythms & chords of mine.

You have brought the best out in me.

My heart is singing to you. Can’t you see?

 

Later, when I finally come to bed.

You roll over toward me.

You warm my shoulder with your head.

This is where I want you to be.

 

Close enough to feel you near.

To know that you are alive & vibrant.

The warmth of your body, showing no fear.

Your eyes open and you see my grin.

 

You ask what is wrong?

I say things couldn’t be better.

I tell her I love her in a song.

She smiles as her eyes get wetter.

 

My guitar and I have seen a lot.

It is with me all the time.

I express my feelings on the spot.

By these rhythms & chords of mine.

You have brought the best out in me.

My heart is singing to you. Can’t you see?

 

Her house is down on Cherry Drive.

And there’s a tree in her backyard.

A limb rubs against the outside.

When the wind is blowing hard.

 

We are safe and warm within.

Snuggled in our little love nest.

I have a feeling, it’s about to begin.

Because I know that she’s the best.

The Country Lass & The City Slicker

 

      The Country Lass & The City Slicker

I was driving around, wasting gas.

Till I found a little country lass.

She was walking along a country road.

Looked like she was toting a heavy load.

I pulled over and offered her a ride.

She had a flat tire by her side.

She hadn’t had a spare at the time.

She wanted to know if she could borrow mine.

I said sure, if it will fit on your car.

She said it was back there, not too far.

I took her & the flat back to her car.

My spare fit. We went to get air. Not too far.

The station patched her tire for her.

I took her back to where we were.

I put her tire back on her car.

She said to follow her home. It’s not far.

I did and she tried to pay me.

I said no way. I did it all for free.

She said how about dinner then?

I said sure. That will make it a win, win.

One thing led to another.

It seemed like in no time we were lovers.

Time passed like it always does.

We were like two turtle doves.

Whatever I did she was there.

She was with me everywhere.

I knew for sure she was the one.

We married and it all was fun.

A country girl with a city slicker.

A lot of people would just snicker.

But, love is where you find it.

So, don’t give us any lip.

Our love is strong and it goes on.

I will love her till the day I’m gone.

Shy Lab Man Has Success

 

      Shy Lab Man Has Success

I needed help to find my way.

It has become a tragic day.

Nothing has gone right in the lab.

There was an accident & it was bad.

A certain fluid got on my skin.

It was absorbed within.

Now, I am feeling really oddly.

Something is happening to my body.

Am I turning into a human Hulk?

Will I end up with hair, like a goat?

A am madly looking for a mirror.

I am starting to feel really queer.

I find a mirror and take a look.

What a change! I could write a book.

I am now tall, dark, and very handsome.

I almost feel like dancing.

I look like a woman’s answer to her dream.

I have never looked this good or lean.

This potion was meant for something else.

Funny how it made my old looks melt.

I am wondering how long it will last?

If I stay this way, I will have a blast.

Come on girls, ‘Big Daddy’ has arrived.

I will make your libido come alive.

Hollywood hansom’s have nothing on me.

I am as handsome as can be.

I have the knowledge Playboy has given.

50 Shades Of Gray is my living.

I have all the male attributes.

Enhanced to the max for no excuse.

I have a six pack, with muscle to spare.

I also have just the right amount of hair.

Suddenly, something splashed in my face.

I looked around. What was this place?

“Wake up” “You slipped and fell”

“Clean yourself up. You look like hell.”

What?? It was all a dream??

Nothing is ever what it seems.

Back to work in this dreary lab.

I guess making skin creams isn’t bad.

But, I wish I could be that man.

The one who said “Because I can.”

Then proceeded to have whoever he wanted.

“Women’s gift of man”, he  taunted.

“Did you say something?” his lab partner said.

“Just talking to myself.” Then asked “Are you wed.”

“Am I married?” “No.”  “Why?”

“I want to take you out, like that other guy.”

“What other guy?” she asked.

“The one I imagined when knocked out” he gasped.

“Sure. I accept.”

I guess you know what happened next.

Blind To Real Love

      Blind To Real Love

It seems I acted like all the rest.

I’m sorry girl, I failed your test.

But, in my defense, you see.

I didn’t know you cared for me.

I was just one of the boys.

More concerned with getting toys.

I never gave us much thought.

Now, I am suffering what I have wrought.

Now that I step back & take a look.

I can read you like a book.

All the times you tried your best.

To get my attention away from the rest.

I was just too blind to see.

That you had such feelings for me.

Now that I see what’s going on.

I am sorry for taking so long.

I just pray it is not too late.

I want to take you on a date.

I find that I have feelings to.

Many of them are just for you.

At times, I felt like you were my sister.

You were always there, though I was with her.

Then, when I wasn’t attached to her,

you gave me excellent support, that’s for sure.

If I had only seen what was going on.

I would have been with you all along.

I just hope it’s not to late.

We may find on our first date.

That you are much more to me.

Than a sister could ever be.

Also I can be more to you.

Than some heartbroken, blind, fool.

Looking for support to make it through.

You are so beautiful, inside and out.

Now that my eyes are open, I can shout.

Why, oh why did I wait so long?

Let’s give it a try. It can’t be wrong.

Nature Does Its Thing

 

      Nature Does Its Thing

There is a place where we can all go.

A place where nature is the show.

Lie down & relax on a grassy slope.

Let negativity go. Increase your hope.

Look out over a lovely lake of blue.

Pine covered hills fill your view.

White puffy clouds float by.

Bringing beautiful shapes to your eye.

The sky is blue, the sun is warm.

A cool breeze is blowing this summer morn.

You’re imagination begins to drift.

Soon, your spirits begin to lift.

You are thinking of happy times.

When I was yours & you were mine.

A cloud floats by shaped like a dog.

Here comes another shaped like a frog.

Butterflies flitter among the flowers.

Today isn’t just yours, it is ours.

For I am lying here by your side.

I am still yours,—– I never lied.

You know that now and you realize.

Nothing can be better to your eyes.

Than my being here with you.

One with nature thru and thru.

We were meant to be here.

Knowing there is nothing to fear.

Our love is stronger at this point.

We are here for nature to anoint.

It is something that feels natural.

We will recall these feelings as factual.

As we lie here in each other’s arms,

nature has blessed us with all its charms.

This is a sealing moment for us both.

Our love is sealed for continual growth.

Dreams Can Come True

 

      Dreams Can Come True

I’ve been told my time will come.

I will find my one and only one.

Just keep on keeping on.

Life will bring him into my song.

 

Life goes on, as usual, around here.

I am not searching. Let’s make that clear.

I am just living day to day.

Hoping someone will come my way.

 

I go to work. I come home.

I spend time all alone.

I go out with several friends.

We have fun till the night ends.

 

Then, it’s ‘dream lover’ time.

I go to bed with this in mind.

My dreams are vivid, this is true.

Yet, it is lonely without you.

When will you come into my life?

I hope it is soon. Let’s make it right.

 

Another day has come and gone.

I wonder if I am doing something wrong?

I haven’t even met a new person.

Much less, one who would make it worsen

 

Then, one day, to my surprise.

I bumped into this good looking guy.

It was in the cafeteria at lunch.

He apologized a bunch

 

We started talking then ate together.

First, we were talking about the weather.

Later, I found out he worked there to.

He said “I’m just one floor below you.”

 

The next day we ate together again.

Before I knew it, I was going out with him.

Then, I realized—–we had a fit.

We were living together before I knew it.

 

Then, it’s ‘dream lover’ time.

I go to bed with this in mind.

My dreams are vivid, this is true.

Yet, it is lonely without you.

When will you come into my life?

I hope it’s soon. Let’s make it right.

 

What everyone said seemed to be true.

Be yourself and someone will find you.

I never thought my ‘dream lover’ would come true.

But, here I am.—– Living with you.

A Lifetime Of Commitment

 

      A Lifetime Of Commitment

It was a year I will never forget.

It wasn’t much on the National net.

Yet, personally, it was a real high.

It leaves a twinkle in my eye.

It was the year we became one.

You said yes and it was done..

We have been together ever after.

If it wasn’t us, it didn’t matter.

We have had our ups and downs.

Everyone does, I have found.

Yet, the flame still burns bright .

Love carries us through each night.

Overall, one would call it average.

For us, it has been very savage.

By that, I mean we have gotten down.

Really into the love we have found.

I’m her tiger and she’s my pet.

She’s the hottest one I have met.

I would never trade her for another.

I love her like I love my mother.

With a never ending burning love.

Only surpassed by love from above.

We have been blessed in many ways.

But, the greatest of these, I must say.

Is what you have meant to me.

Without you I could never be.

I exist to fulfill all you desire.

So it will be,—– till I retire.
