early morning rain
quenches parched peony blooms ~
dewy effloresce
I weave a narrative of unspeakable taboo, a symphony of sighs and groans, a cacophony of defiled innocence.
Your body, a temple of decadence, a sanctum of sadomasochistic excess, where the strictures of societal mores are rent asunder, and the very fabric of reality is torn apart.
Echolalic luminaries periodically tilt, their sumptuary influence shrinking villages into steel vexations.
Precedence of principles and codes, a paradigm of insecurity, influences vermillion equations.
Jeopardized crescents and tacit furor satisfy the economist’s balloons, coached through versions of fossilized tutelage.
Cathedrals of vice and transgressions wraith through legends, inferring civilian nudists infected by hurakens.
Cultures torque and embark, communicating through the columns of Groningen.
Chiaroscurist initiations of mnemonic memories effloresce in alabaster vigils, aberrant cadastral mortmain consuming convergent dispossessed flâneries.
Sotto voce a whisper sweet
if by chance we should come to meet
down in the valley where flowers bloom
shall we enter a two way street?
And if by chance this journey's fleet
with passion's effloresce complete
becomes our season's hope renew,
then would we love this vigil treat?
Inside that meadow of bright hues
will you wrap around my curlicues
and climb the tendrils of my vine
kiss me sweetly by heaven's blues?
Will my colors be rich as wine
when you hold me time after time
like the daisies tallish and wild
do you aim to always be mine
Long after sun has hotly smiled
Long after stars ablaze are riled
will you whisper to my petals,
sotto voce and undefiled .

Bright beautiful buds,
elegantly effloresce,
flowers festival,
delights delicate desires,
swiftly spring spreads soulful smiles.
Seventy degrees
sunlight exudes joyfulness
bird song wafts in air
high spirited voice
uplifting excited day
greener than ever
flowers effloresce
happy congratulations
daffodils erect
glassy eyed chipmunk
chased off by brown grown squirrels
hurly burly way
chirping and trilling
a harsh bulldog’s deep croaking
cardinal preens in sun
'Tis not long, but the very next day,
away from us stealing what moments we may;
yet I already feel the ghost of your lips
upon my waiting neck, on each of their many trips.
A visit to a favorite friend with no strings,
become a stage for the joy that flesh brings;
at once long-awaited and a wondrous surprise,
to hear your delighted cries and contented sighs.
A hand on mine, the other trailing soft fingers,
you left a tingling on my back that yet lingers;
a bite here, a scratch there, a kiss elsewhere,
and I was freely lost in desire's tight snare.
We varied between laughing at each other's jests,
and gasping at each other's sensual, deft quests;
my blood rises as I write, recalling your caress,
your amative gaze as we felt each other effloresce.
A more enrapt and passionate amour I cannot remember,
and I daresay I long to once again tend this ember;
soon I would replace this echo of your taste
with my grip once again adorning your waist.
effloresce in bloom
fresh dew feeds buds of lilies-
misty b l o s s o m haze

You danced in beauty as you peeked from your dainty bud,
your radiance lingered far beyond the day beams end,
full of such strength lasting long after life’s natural flood,
my crimson lily, to your sweet effloresce I shall always tend.
Flourishing and nourishing you bring beauty into my life,
I await all year as you thrive in my garden in early July,
for you were in my hands as I became Nicholas’s wife,
I saw the excitement you held flirting with a white butterfly.
For you are my floret that brings magic to my summer days,
and at night I see you glow under twilight's bright constellations,
in the gentle breeze I stare as your stem graciously sways,
during the cheerful daylight you shine with illumination.
Bulbs into roots, and roots germinating into blossomed elegance,
I lay you softly on her grave because she’ll always live in me,
you have remarkable meaning to my heart with strong relevance,
for I shall always hold adoration for you, my delicate crimson lily.

Immersing myself into the realm of its existence
Like time travel taking off, I can go anywhere
At times I read its books, I’m in state of ebullience
My imagination transcends far beyond any frontier
In my journey, I’ll never be a glum book lover and explorer
My skills and vicarious experiences effloresce
Being inspired, uplifted...I feel others’ stories and sentiment
In solitude, I also find contentment and happiness
As reading enthuses...manipulates the intensity of my temperament
So, I bask in the library for more knowledge and sense of fulfillment

How this world does effloresce and grow
Anywhere you look, up high and down low
Next to that rock, give it a short look
By something else, you possibly mistook
Lively, verdant acres unfold every year
And each winter do seasonally disappear
Returning upon the melting of each snow
Giving us existence and an outdoor show
lilac.azalea and bluebell
effloresce and all incense quell
