Vijay Pandit Poet Imagism

Bouquet of Flowers

In a crystal vase, a flower bouquet I arrayed:
 
Iris flowers purple, yellow on its outer edge

Interlaced with a layer of tulips burgundy-red

Beholden to support of emerald green stems

And gracing the center are tall pink rose buds

Warning their sharp prickles not to interfere

With romantic dreams of a budding ruby rose

Unfolding slowly, and revealing just enough--  

A mere glimpse at the stares of secret lovers.

You stand there, admiring symphony of colors

When evening sun peeks in, twinkling white crystal

As your smile evokes verses of love, divulging so little

Much like a first kiss, reluctant to say more.
