Bougainvillea

Tall Bougainvillea stops me, to my surprise The neck and shoulder dancing in the breeze To cool my head I need some ice I refrain as frost would rob the look All my boats rock in the current Bougainvillea show is overwhelming It is spring in the veins and arteries Excited birds are chirping crazily Aroused flowers escalate heart beats Velvet tickling swings the existence My whole universe belongs to Bougainvillea Waves rock the firing granules I look for and find a decrepit house Bougain follows me with mesmerizing smile Flooding my streets and narrow lanes Seated by its side, I get hypnotized Now arrives the enormous rush Magenta, purple, orange and yellow We combine them to make a bed Lay on it hope there will be no tomorrow _________________________________________ April 1, 2019 Bougainvillea Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Craig Cornish
