Burning burgundy
sunset in the hot desert
Stars come fervently.
Yet, the cacti blooms appear
at the romance time of year.
Cherry charcoal skies
aswirl with rich, orange zest,
trails the western prize.
Cool desert moon of twilight

IN HOLLAND
The laggard winter ebbed so slow
With freezing rain and melting snow,
It seemed as if the earth would stay
Forever where the tide was low,
In sodden green and watery gray.
But now from depths beyond our sight,
The tide is turning in the night,

I have a lovely garden
That no human eyes ever see
From all others set apart
Watered carefully
Affectionately tilled and tended
It grows Black Flowers
The color of a deceitful heart
They will not permit other blossoms to flourish
No one knows from where they sprang
......
Dreamy days of summer, violet petals on the wind,
Apple green forest music, too bad it will soon end,
Petals cover wild walkways, summer's just leaving,
Trees are weeping beauty, summer is just grieving.
Tangelo sun is arising, full of destiny and purpose,
Like fading seasons, always managing to resurface.
Sunlit carpet of petals, late in a pretty garden year,
Like puffy clouds, always going, until others appear.
On this dandelion I make request
That brave sorrow may be laid to rest.
Desperate pleas from so frail a lung,
Begging for all that ever died so young.
But these seeds—they are not driven
To the blue house of prayers that we call Heaven.
In the ground my wish finds death,
So to another I give my breath.
I wish to meet but one soul

All you only needs are flowers
Flowers in the wall
Flowers in the hall
Flowers like garland
Flowers like pots
Flowers like silk
Flowers like fragrance
Flowers like people
Flowers like language
Flowers like bed

Magnolia,
your petals open like whispered secrets,
soft and tender,
bathing in the warmth of a fleeting sun.
A scent lingers in the air,
earthy and sweet,
drawing me closer to a place where time slows.
Your branches stretch like arms in a quiet embrace,
and beneath your shade,
......
red heart of morning
guilty shadows fled like dreams
scattering moonbeams
Blue jay on green rose
caressed by gold creeping heat
petals and concrete
saffron veiled dancers
of every scent and color

Flowery paths wildly intersect rich, late summer;
While beautiful flute music plays in green trees,
Amidst song so rife, without drumrolls of thunder.
In butterscotch ease, drift humming, honeybees.
While beautiful flute music plays in green trees;
The exotic blooms send pleasant fumes, far away.
In butterscotch ease, drift humming, honeybees;
With huge, tossed hibiscuses, in crimson disarray.
