There are wonderful properties in various types of flowers that enhance our lives.
A husband ponders over a bouquet of colored flowers to present to his wife.
Flowers have an aroma that infuses the air all around.
Their fragrance is carried on the wings of the wind without a sound.
Their colors are so vibrant and beautiful and a wonderful dose of eye candy.
Flowers are found in the mountains, valleys, and sometimes even where it's sandy.
A picture may be worth a thousand words but a bouquet of flowers says it all.
The benefits of flowers in the house enhance the atmosphere whether the bouquet is either great or small.

amazes me Its so sweet but too scary is this too good
to be true or is it that Im meant to be with you Either

lost love, nostalgia, writing,
Waking unbridled offering,
eyes open to nostalgic thoughts.
Lady Day* sings "Some Other Spring" -
by midday light, he's overwrought.
Hands brush the dust from typewriter
waking unbridled offering.
No tryst of words or deeds slight her.
He pecks the keys in smokey rings.
Those days long gone, one gold earring
reminds of when love did persist.
Waking unbridled offering -
a ticket taunts of red eye missed.
Faded lipstick on cigarettes,
a full ashtray still inspiring -
He types again to not forget,
waking unbridled offering.

love,
There is nothing as heart warming as a hug from the heart
We have many types of hugs
The Oh Gosh do I have to hug
Oh well I guess I will if you want me to hug
Boy am I glad to see you again hug
The hey look I can hug in public embrace
Let's hide so no one sees us hug
Do I have to hug Auntie Linda hug
The great big over whelming bear hug
Let's keep holding on hug
I want to hug you forever hug
And best of all
I love you more than words can say hug
Let's give our hugs freely and with emotion
We all need to feel the love

Heart-full love
and beautiful queen,
It's difficult to get
both in one.
Sacred love
and spiritual partner,
If you don't like,
convince your mother.
Naughty love
and dirty lady,
Before selecting
ask your daddy.
Casual love
and stylish mate,
Always needs
handsome pocket.
Time pass love
and fancy girl,
Sufficiently available
in shopping mall.
Boring love
and tedious wife,
It's equivalent to
a blunt knife.

Love, In all Its Forms
What is love?
A universal word
Love is a difficult emotion that revolves around our hearts
Love the passion, desire, and vulnerability the spice in our relationship
Love a chosen committed and affectionate, warm and tender platonic love
Love unconditionally, makes you feel secure and safe
Love a passionate and intense arousing romantic feeling of being alive
A symbol of love

It takes many types,
and rigorous flights,
simple minds and treacherous vine’s-
we lace our faces with our finds,
we trace our space’s with their intellectual minds-
but cigarettes burn and drinks overturn,
and yet we never see things the way they should skoot,
we all have opinions that we’d like to remove-
a savior once said to shut up and groove,
so I do one move at a time,
one move at a time-
forget to rewind,
forget to unwind,
because buildings take up my mind,
cities intertwine like a mathematical puzzle that only serves the blind.

Love has many types and tones
Depths and heights, unfathomable
And some, infinitesimal
Love is confused and lonely
One sided and disproportionate
It knows hate not
It does not masquerade
Love is pure as the morning sun
Subject to natural law
Rich or poor
Happy or depressed
Life or death

One thing that spiders always love to do
Spin their webs of mastery just for you
Beauty of their fine, silvery web strings
Holding each drop of water in its rings
The center holds the granddaddy of all
Creator of this masterpiece installed
He sits just waiting for the naive bug
Then he kills it with his engrossing drug
The spider can build this web in one night
Some webs are quite the incredible sight
Web makes it through many types of weather
Even powerful storms could not bother
Spider spins all of its webbing just right
Web and spider work together with might

I play sports.
I wear shorts.
What kind of sports?
All kinds and sorts—
How many shorts?
One pair, no less or more—
Sports play I.
Shorts wear I.
I love to play all sorts of sports wearing all types of shorts because what more is there to sports without a bunch of sports shorts.

Through these lips
sorrows pass
bound to slip
seldom last.
Behind smiles
secrets said
all the while
kept in red.
Whisper cries
from the heart
tender ties
love may start.
Lipstick likes
to make marks
takes all types
to send sparks.
Touch these lips
don't dare miss
passing ships
with a kiss.

Flowers of all types bend and flow around
Leading my thoughts down paths of love and dreams
The wind blows through each flower on the ground
Lifting up clouds nothing is as it seems
Power in the fields is where the sun beams
Green is everywhere, wherever I look
Even the lilies in the streams and brook
Butterflies all float around this great field
And hummingbirds use their beaks as a hook
As flowers need to pollinate to yield

poetry,
Set those keys to pounding.
With astute and clever thoughts.
Get the keyboard’s humming,
Through words, commas, dots.
Poetry Soup starts blooming,
With life, love and will.
Sailing through cybernetics,
Right through Poetry-ville.
In the cyber fam’ly,
Friends both new and old,
Fellow writers and poets
Have stories to be told.
A certain camaraderie,
Cherished membership thrives.
Having common purposes,
With singles, husbands, wives.
Poetry styles and types,
All subjects under the sun.
Challenge the gifted poets,
Admittedly for fun.
The sky is the limit;
Reach out near and far.
You can, in cybernetics,
Hang your image on a star.

There are many types,
of poisons, like poison ivy,
hemlock, sumac, we also
have belladonna, and arsenic.
I am not poison, neither
have venom, nor a virus…
Why have I not, heard from
you for such a long time…
Did I say something,
that you didn’t like?
You can call or you come
over whenever you want…
I am not toxic, nor am
I venomous, nor do
I have a virus...
I am not poisonous…

I’m irked by journal publishers who claim,
“We love ALL types of poetry. Please send
your best—free verse or formal. We accept
up to five poems. First, we recommend
you read at least two issues.” So I do—
from front to back and find no rhymes at all,
no meter! Someday I’ll respond to them,
“You DON’T print formal verse, and you have gall!”

It’s a hard way to live from bed to bed.
Loveless nights by morning she’s alone.
Searching for attention; she’s relying on her shape and curves. Listening to men disrespectful words; it’s the small things that matters most making any situation hard for her to understand. The deadly issues of just getting a man. She claim to have waited two years for someone, who already knew the truth of her ways. Think about it. People talk without the facts if it’s true or not. Who wants a lady who has been known to be several types of pleasure for many men?
Love doesn’t come that easy.
Sorry Love.
She’s in a rush for things and willing to lose everything, maybe she doesn’t know.

A hug is so important, it shows
that you care and are there
so many different types of hugs
the one a mother and child share
it can be of love or of comfort
when old friends meet again
throwing their arms around each other
the simple hugs of children
the hug of compassion for a death
which gives sweet solace to the other
lastly not least the hug of a lover
that carries you away to bliss

holiday,
Trick or treat neighbors of the night
The time has come for frivolous fright
We can take the night from day
As ghosts and ghouls come out to play
We'll take candy corn, caramels, and types of nougat
Don't be afraid, even ghosts love chocolate
But no apples please, you may regret it
Frankenstein would frown on it, and he wouldn't forget it
And one more thing, to the haunted house you are invited
Your presence there would make the zombies excited
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

life, love,
Love is a wide spread word said in many languages.
It's meaning doesn't vary from country to country.
Some define it as the center of life.
For others, simply they can't live without it.
There are two types of love: the fraternal and passionate.
Fraternal is the love you feel for your family and friends.
Passionate is the blazing feeling that you feel for a partner.
Sometimes, love can be deceiving and disillusional when someone
plays with your heart or is unrequited.
Heal from a broken heart takes time.
But don't give up never.
Some day you will wake up healed.
Ready to love again unconditionally.

I guess to claim you love unconditionally means you would never tweet that you only sat beside FAT
american women while traveling?
Or asking women for pictures and making sure they do not require t shirts to make love?
WOW sounds unconditional both those types of comments doesn't it?
Or handing out diets to every woman who is overweight?
Very unconditional!!!
too much for me to handle all that unconditional love...
Not to mention, is this outside of Gods conditions?
