love careening like molten honey
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
Smooth moves
rivers perform
with intuitive flow.
Even when storms cause them to churn,
their God bequeathed responses are right on.
Not so, emotions in my heart,
besieging my faith's hold.
My needs pursue
smooth flows.
continuous thread
by marking one's life's passage -
a silk worm cocoon
And it’s just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it’s the same as the emotion I get from you
You’ve got the kind of lov’n that can be so smooth, yeah
—Itaal Shur, Robert Thomas
He’s Smooth-I’m Breathless
Rob’s smooth, intoxicant, erotic voice.
He sings slowly with sass, a charming rasp.
For ringing in new year, he was my choice.
The instruments’ charm me, I’m in their grasp.
A noddle swoon, elixir fix of cool.
An enchantment of sea and moon, in tides.
Breathless in nineteen- ninety-nine whirlpool.
In sultry croon - I lose my mind, besides.
You say you're not magic, but you conjur incredibly well
Thoughts of a wand forming happiness, a beautiful carousel
A ring that dispels loves hunger like a dinner bell
I choose to be drowned inside your pools of smooth caramel
May your sweetness be the last thing I ever see or smell
Damn the devil, YOU can have my soul; a confession I pray tell
The way you protect my heart shields me from every hell
My love is well past forever; no need, for your eyes to compel
There’s a demon on my shoulder,
clipping toenails into my ear
An angel on the other,
nibbles wax so I can hear
He makes balm for my lips,
lights candles once a year
Both play devil’s advocate;
God knows they’re insincere?
Their words are quite pointed,
but sharper when being blunt?
My ears burn like hell
as rumours exchange every month
This tug-of-war’s relentless,
pulling strings to win my soul
If i’m nothing special;
why fight tooth and nail for control?
Lately they’ve switched shoulders,
maybe it’s to explore
Candles burn less often,
not on birthdays like before
Toenails fall unchecked,
my balm-less lips crack and swell
One day I’m living in heaven;
the next feels like bloody hell
This war is wearing me down
I can’t do wrong for right
My hair feels thinner,
no surprise from this endless fight
Searching for bald spots in the mirror
sheds light on their attack:
Those grifters do Brazilians
and pedicures behind my back.

In the beginning, you placed an ad
I responded, which wasn't bad
The first few minutes we made a connection
Which displayed, honesty, kindness and affection
You're the type of lady I want to know
Things we have in common, I can show
You're so calm, at ease and understanding
These qualities don't equal demanding
Just a few thoughts I acquired
Talking to you, leaves nothing to be desired
Imagine us being together
Sharing life, as though it were a feather
This is the beginning, never to be finished
There's no ending to be diminished
Love, respect, trust and dedication
Makes for a smooth sailing connection

Inspiration: Daydreaming
Her skin softer than the softest pillow
Whiter than the snow in full light
The best thing you can see during the day
As well as night
Dreamy eyes she has got
The biggest and brightest of them all
As perfect as they can be
Getting lost in them is the best place you can be
Oh the nose
Accurate and precise,
A physicist’s fantasy
The perfect slope you can see
Her cheeks softer than softest cashmere
Red from all the blushing for me
Smooth and flawless
paradigm of serenity
Her eyebrows darker than the darkest trail of them all
With the curves big and small
And a hint of interest for me
I am the happiest of them all
Soft as a feather
Thin as pencil
Red as a rose
Her lips shake me to the core
Her hair trails of graphite
Darker than an abyss
Softer than sunlight
Flailing here and there and giving me fright
Her feminity in the prime
For her lover to embrace
The best one there can be
By God’s grace
I fell out of step
you brought music to my life
together we dance
Smooth dress
Smooth legs
Smooth skin
Smooth all over.
so smooth vespertine
very sweet bulbuls singing
breeze accompanies
It's a sincere compliment
you know you are very
important to me
bring it up
only to change my mind
guess you wanna know
why I'm acting so
sweet and kind
guess you recognize it
by the way I make you feel
keeping it real
I'm in love with you
Keeping it real
even though I don't know
what I'm talking about
we got it over
and whn we didn't have much
to say
love soothed all the
heartache away
kissed me and then
a whisper
tonight we started loving
each other again
cause your more then a fre
tonight we start loving
one another again
Looked out the window
saw you coming in
opened the door
for my best friend
saw your smile
and that's when
I was so in love
and I'm still in love
say you love me
and I'll say I love you too
aint knowthing in the
world I won't do
you know it's true
Bel canto
Her asking Suport- Part three
Somewhere they say
that you and I are together
somewhere they'll believe
that we are one
we found interest in us together
we're interested in
having fun
My true love
don't know we're together
If it goes Your way
we've just begun
I know ya'll get tired
of sounding blue
hearing song's about people
doing the things they do
Happiness is
of what you make it
Ones selfishness
is often selected
One things true
in a Lovers Obligation
Timing is everything
to not leave one waitin
Wait for Love
when ya'll know it's right
aint no love
when nothing right
seems I'm being
a little selfish
Most obvious
when you
feel neglected
wooden spoon worn smooth
calloused hands’ enduring tool
sleeps in a drawer
They wondered how the bird could trick ‘em
If there was some trick to how to pick ‘em
A bowl of milk
As smooth as silk
Just put them in when they’re a kitten
