A lily-white stage
once bloomed and blossomed
in rose garden plots
then time’s “green fingers”
sunk a withered root

Weeping willows of
past twilight inkling
cast a blurred shadow
on “lily-white age”
viewed through clouded lens!

Withering weeping willows
shade wrought-iron gates,
creaking in the midst of a cool mid-autumn gale.
Starless, charcoal skies loom above,
as birdsong of nightingales drifts through the evening.
Coming upon a worn, dirt-laden path,
frost-burnt grass lines the edges,
beckoning me to mourning’s sorrow.
Marble statues of angels, frozen in prayer, greet me.
falling to my knees, I brush the crisp leaves from your grave,
tracing your name with my indebted fingertips.
Your presence floods back,
whilst tears coat floundering eyes.
I lay amongst lily-white chrysanthemums,
As my home became the cemetery
the moment your soul departed.

Is that the same habitual pain
The one I didn’t expect
To reappear once again
Like fume of menthol cigarette
I smoked ten thousand days ago
When snow was blooming lily-white
And withered leaves were whirling slow
Across the dimmed sunlight
I thought to make a worthy plan
Before the winter’s timelessness
It wasn’t superstitious then
More likely, a result of stress
It’s back, in luxury edition
Which is expanded overseas
Am I to live under suspicion?
I cannot bear all this.

The magic of vanilla stays with me, let’s explore.
Creamy rich dark and syrupy that smells like liquor
Eighty proof vodka and vanilla beans are needed
for crème de la crème vanilla extract
Who knew that in order to make Ice crème
ingredients must first be heated?
An oddity, whipping away
making it into buttercream
Color so pure and lily white
Vanilla is misunderstood
I’m a little mixed up
Aromas that bring me back
to my childhood
Vanillin scent candle so calming
Just add homemade vanilla
To anything is my conclusion
It’s a ventablack liquid
Sorry for the confusion
All apologies

Yes, indeed. Alright. I'm lily-white
all 9+ feet of me, a tricolor sight
But now I'm 'racist' and 'insensitive'
because 'brown pigment I lack'
A half-nelson applied to my aching 'red-neck'
Cry 'UNCLE,' they scream, the political hacks

As soon as God lifted the veil
An angel appeared beyond pale
So bright lily white
My toes curled in fright
And even worse, she was a male!

Easter approaches on tender, Lily-white feet!
Most think only of chocolate Easter bunnies, a most delicious treat!
Or, of going Easter shopping in lovely, spacious malls.
They know not, the significance of what Easter means at all.
A man hung on a cross, and died to save humanity.
But the move is on to discredit Christ, who died on that tree!
Some children, of Him, only lies do parents tell!
They are told there is no God, no Heaven and no Hell.
The goal .....to make man, a god?
While our only end, is to lie dead, beneath that cold sod.
For believers, their eternal future is both divine and glorious.
Singing with the Angels in God’s chosen, golden chorus!

breeze with green leaves compose new melodies
wild bamboos play fluent flute ---
ballet dance of flowers
Bluebells painted sky canopy curls furls
lily white clouds form world maps ---
sun feels shy of shining
birds and beasts play around in merriment
bees and flies fresh nectar hunt ---
snakes end hibernation
golden glitters spread around land and seas
smiles of heaven seen on earth ---
dead seeds resuscitate

After winter’s doldrums, drab and dark,
the sight of you spells days filled with light.
You fill my heart with the ecstasy
of fun-filled days for fantasy.
Your full, fresh, face, flush, lily-white
remind of Christ’s who’s shone with light,
on that Sunday resurrection morn,
the day when hope for mankind dawned.
Your trumpet shape heralds a note
of hope-filled days pursuing pleasure.
Your purity reflecting light
dispels the dark of winter’s gloom.
I long to see your smiling face
and have you grace my humble dwelling
with fragrant scent so sweet and strong,
reminding me of God’s great grace.

From winter’s doldrums drab and dark,
the sight of you ignites a spark.
You fill my heart with ecstasy
of fun-filled days for fantasy.
Your full, fresh, face flush, lily-white
remind of Christ’s whose shone with light,
on Sunday’s resurrection morn,
the day when hope for man was born.
Your trumpet shape heralds a time
of hope-filled days pursuing prime.
Your purity reflecting light
banishes gloom of winter’s night.
I long to see your smiling face
and have you grace my dwelling place
with fragrant scent so sweet and strong,
which fills my heart with Easter’s song.
