Rainbows from a storm set up,
Left dazzling colors of hues
Clouds in the backdrop start to fade away
I think of sugar plums dancing in play.
The sun sends out its rays of light,
Winds in the air blowing just right
A drizzle of rain comes around
Not a drop of it hit the ground.
Nature, I do love its flowering smell,
And I can only begin to story-tell
That I've had this long-lasting affair
Where I and nature do not despair.
It is with her that gives me ease,
She's never failed me, she has always pleased
She breathes me in as I enter her woods
She took my hand, and there I stood.
Nature and her acceptance of me,
Free my mind of all drudgeries
She breathes me in as I enter her woods
She is beautiful to me, she's misunderstood

DARKNESS GROWS IN THE GARDEN OF PLEASANTRIES
Meandering through the garden of pleasantries,
did you sense, the breathless pant of trees,
or hear, the violin seduction, of Cupid’s sentries,
or pierce the eyes, the blossom spread of luxuries?
Do tell of sandals, chains and locks lost in shrubberies!
O turtle doves, between your teeth, insolent mulberries.
Too soon succumbed to satin skin, fracas of discoveries.
The fruited-fountain of chocolate but noncommittal fudgeries.*
The shrieking tomb of sirens — seagulls sic the maggoty melodies.
The butterfly tresses of yesteryear sans curmudgeon cure of drudgeries.
You thought to toss away her sensuous beauty, with exorbitant lies.
No hope in her sea soaked eyes, salt preservative of glass flies.
