Sweet snowdrop bells ring!
The violets are coming
Days are chanting spring.
Crimson camelias call
from dreams near the garden wall.
Gold sun fields await
rich tulips of tomorrow!
Lily's never late.
Then pansies' pink faces greet
blue roses across the street.
A dainty baby drooling, in soft cuddly lap
like a ravine of ambrosia scented all sweet.
toddles a landscape of lilies and tulip,
smoochy hugs kiss, fondling mouth to feet.
Camelias and orchids, in fleecy pink cheeks
gurgle and whistle, cries of joyful delight.
warm touch in clasp, a fist of folded fingers
dreams of new hope, sleeping through night.
Nurturing pure love, humming sweet lullaby
endless back and forth, rock a cradle awsome.
unlike flowers of spring, that wither and wilt,
babies grow strong, from tender blossoms.

Here is a cacophony, voice from inside
All alone in a new place, a goodbye to riverside
Here comes the change, farewell to my old days
Mediocre girl,so halcyon, a new place to stay
Inexorable,I go hustle -bustle,
Ineffable, scared for a new way
Well I do remember Rome was not built in a day
They interrogate me as if I am an alien
I feel ignorance is a bliss
I took a chance of stepping into the streets
I realized forbidden fruit is always the sweetest
Being idyllic is more fun
Settling down my darker side ,
I wanted to enjoy the ebullient shade
Penumbrating all the past memories, I bid a goodbye
Cascading my reforms,here I am back with a new version of mine.
Today,its the most beautiful day for me
From the golden blaze of the sand till the blue horizon, ita all mine
I sit near camelias with chardonnay, raising a toast to this evening
Filled with joy and happiness , I am screaming
You know what.....sometimes its good to talk good.
