Heart-warming And Charming

Heart-warming And Charming

28 November 2017

Your beauty welcomes me.

Your visual appeal touches me

And goosebumps manifest

To make me feel blessed.

Good looks come from symmetry, 

Proportion and repetition,

Like in the marble parquetry.

All three are done to perfection.

Everywhere, underfoot and overhead,

Is elegance and loveliness.

Prettiness and grandeur are wed

Into luxury and courtliness.

The paucity of my treasury

Prevents me from staying long.

My enjoyment must be momentary,

Short, like I don't belong.

The fleeting moments are stowed,

In my memory where they won't corrode,

To warm my heart with grandness

From the sparks of beauty's flame.

In times of poverty and blandness,

I reflect back on your lovely acclaim.

Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving,
Whether your home is near or far.
Leave off your sadness and grieving.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Even if you have broken your vows
A thousand times beyond repair
And eaten the meat of sacred cows.
That was a different paradigm
Not at all suited for you,
Belonging to a different time.
Now the calling rings true.

Come yet again, come, come.
Join us in our joyous celebration.
Know that all are very welcome
In our peculiar congregation.
We’ll sing and we’ll shout
Hosannah! as we hang out.
It will be a walkabout,
A pilgrimage without a doubt.
Join us to experience something new,
To rekindle your inner magic.
This invitation means a changed you
That feels whole, not tragic.

Welcome Pilgrim

Hello Jamison, my newest nephew.
My, my it's been really busy
With lots of activity around you.
We've all been in a tizzy.
Grandma Adams came to give childcare
While you and Bronwyn were hospitalized
And Monson went the ER for his welfare.
Everybody was stressed, almost traumatized.
Britton lost his first game of the season.
Then Sterling flew to a Denver conference
Where he spoke to thinkers of reason
Using physics research as a reference.
After a few hectic days, we're glad
To have you home with the family.
We're all ready, with Mom and Dad,
For life to continue more serenely.

Like most days begin
I stand, stretch and test
My body and naked skin
To see what feels best.
My hands touch around
Evoking tactile sensation
Slowly going up and down
My skin in each iteration.
My motions have stops and starts,
Lingering on the delicate parts.

Thru the window sunlight
Adds to my skin's perception.
It feels so good and right,
I give it a welcome reception.
The grinning smile on my face
Says I'm glad to be alive,
Enjoying the world's embrace,
And learning how to thrive.
I'm sure you'll list
Me as a sensualist.

The occasion was the holidays,

The group was Finest City Squares

For a party at P, B and J’s.

Invited were lesbians and bears.

The hosts were genial and pleasant,

Their condo tastefully decorated

And welcoming to all who were present.

We munched until we were sated

On hors d’oeurves, fruitcake,

Nuts, chips, soda and wine.

Also, the coffee, cheesecake

And cookies were very fine.

Cross-stitching was displayed

And Christmas stockings that had 

Been personalized and handmade.

Carols on the piano added a tad.

The large tree in the living room had

Medallions designed by Wedgewood

And the Metropolitan Museum fad.

Also, pierced ornaments from Waterford

And Lennox, plus a strung popcorn 

And wooden cranberry garland.

In the other room a small tree was reborn.

Above the crocheted skirt and stand.

The ornaments had a duplication of stylization

Shoes of high-healed variation and inspiration.

We were told by way of narration information

That the proliferation, ostentation and veneration

Was a cause of irritation, indignation and protestation

With possible subjugation or mitigation

By reputation litigation, defamation

Or character assassination,

Which was the motivation for the instigation

And machination of a stipulation

Leading to the cessation and limitation 

On the replication, infestation and inundation

Of more such creations and simulations

Causing indications of jubilation

And peace on earth integration.
