Best Basked Poems

...In the May-time of my life

...O to be in England
in the early days of spring 
when the golden daffodils 
steal the heart and make it sing.         

Roaming the Lake District  
far away from urban noise,
by cascading water......

...As the monsoon rains fall heavily on the ground,
I sit by the window pane wishing you were around.

The thunder strikes and I run to hide away
In search of your loving arms, where I long to stay.......

...I kissed July's hot tangerine lips
swam in cool aquamarine eyes
basked in blond and honey rays
dreamed in mango pomegranate sunsets 
of lime hillsides and marmalade roses

Gazing out my picture window on this darkest of night,

with playful marshmallow fantasies —
the sun peeked from behind
peony-puffs of airy white

Ants red as wine                                      A black spider seem to own
