Best Frangipanis Poems

The video is intrinsic to the setting of the scene. The vocals and music track by ‘The Corrs and Bono’ are background music incidental to the plot. 

A balmy night it was when he stepped in the bar
A wondrous apparition at a table not far

  "I have been a stranger in a strange land."  Bible, Exodus 2:22  

I have been a stranger
I have been in a strange land
Land of forsaken frangipanis
Land of black diamonds
Diamonds never decay
Diamonds forever sparkle
Sparkle like neon fireflies 
Sparkle amidst darkness
Darkness depicting light
Darkness illuminating skies
Skies...

 We learn to waltz and whirl through sunless spheres, 
amidst the frozen frangipanis, grieving in trembling stillness…… 

When summer is gone and the salmon sun slumbers in its somber sanctuary,  
waving silent farewells to skies glowing in apricot ink,  
I steal the...

When tangerine tinted tunes 
within 
  sunset serenades~
 unravel saffron symphonies,
  engrossed in 
  hibiscus hymns of hallelujah~
I swirl to radiant rays of 
  sakura stardust,
where mystical monologues 
of silent angels~
caress my sleepless canvas
  in riveting rhythm,
for I see caramelized...

“Ten Years, Somewhere in their Lost Neighbourhood”

Of course,
he said, like a god,
there is no course,
one must simply go with the flow
the penumbra stands waivering its existence,
a kind of deactivation, fuzzy borderline hanging, 
backing the art of deleting, but hovering, still, holding off

the finger, 
of the...

Down by Hope Street where the frangipanis bask,
And the Goddess of Love has put up her tent,
Lives a lady with fire in her eyes and cats in her kitchen.
Oh of course I will tell you she's an angel if you ask,
And her magic lies in...

J'apprends le français en ce moment
parce que j'ai l'intention de voyager à Paris.
Je ne parle pas couramment le français.
J'ai découvert Le Lac il y a quelques années.

Par un mariage
Du côté de ma mère,
nous sommes liés à l'écrivain français /
romancier Pascal Lainé.
Dentelle délicate,
une histoire d'Apple.

Exotic perfumes opulent 
Hibiscus and jasmine sentient
Charming flute and sitar entice
Indian chants undulating
Heads pivoting eyes inviting
Warm smiles reminiscent of spice
Voices that throw you in a trance
In a most voluptuous dance
Timing of twirling so precise
Long black waves of ebony hair
Swaying through the sumptuous air
Sweet frangipanis caressed...

Spring is dressed up
in various  shades of green
Generously emitting sun rays
with a dazzling sheen

The sycamore tree 
keeps sighing in the hissing 
Morning wind. Frangipanis 
here and there glisten

As white as winter snow. 
Butterflies float about 
Happily; somewhere a nightingale
joyously sings out

Clusters of clouds hang...

Clouds explode and bloom
Flower petals fall as rain
Sunshine picks them up again
Counting each scented one

He loves me
He loves me not
(The rhythm of a young girl’s dreams)

Aphrodisiacs of soothing fragrance swirl:
Lavender, Honeysuckle, Roses
Magnolias in the summer
Frangipanis for the evenings
In Spring, Wisteria, in time for beginnings
Lily-of-the-valley, delicate...

cool night breeze
As the wind shakes the trees
red frangipanis are such delight

As ducks and ducklings waggle under the moonlight,
The Thrush,crickets and tadpoles whistled through the night,

Ripples on stream as sky reigns supreme
Birds move round like a team
By the stream.

Why are we shocked 
with the space we owe?
Conveys with it a specific frustration
With not a single companion to have,

But how little we need to bring
The main exhilaration that exists,
Is the exhilaration we've carried with us

Frangipanis outside needs thy steady acclaim,
The inflated shafts, once a...
