Frangipani Delight

Frangipani Delight Another drab evening in a menagerie of unfit suitors And here I am, among the mockingbirds, amused and ashamed This ancestral ritual of confidence and cougars A pellucid behavior of the blind curves, drunk blame The twilight long past and now ripples of new The immature beauties that thrive to infuse A luscious perfume of frangipani delight When I showed no response, she took a seat to my right We talked there for hours and her eyes were so kind When vermilion lips; stopped talking, touched mine Contest: 10 Words, 10 Lines Sponsor: Silent One 1/7/2017 Placed Second Challenge Words: Menagerie Vermilion Infuse Mockingbird Twilight Frangipani Luscious Pellucid Ancestral Ripples
