transmuting into taffy hue
with the kiss of dappled sunlight~
Like her cheeks that blush in pink
with his wondering wink...

seducing newly bloomed nympheas
slumbering in Egyptian...

I smile when e're I see one
Like puppets on a string

oscillating reflections glow
like a sketch of your smile
at a glimpse of a new morn

Behold, oh my beloved!
Is there a hidden care
you would like to share,
with your not so gentle gaze?

Repudiating caducity,
your eyes portray
sustained excitement ~

an arabesque of phantasmagorical
make-believe.

Behold, oh my beloved
the vortex of colours...

dainty darling blossoms~ 
are floating fluffy clouds 
of ivory and  petunia
hanging like empyrean jewels

the winding traces of morning skaters
on teal and ivory rugged snowfield

saffron shafts of sun~
behind lofty heights
of faded silver and sapphire
veiled by the hazy fog
spell prelude to  dusk

faded titanium bridges
are galloping white horses
crossing the river of dreams
where our lost story drifts

a dulcet dreamy rendition
of sweet symphony
paints  a cosmic light
inciting the sleepy moon
over the  silvery sea

as music soars~
I see clouds descending 
to kiss the silky shore
resting on his bosom

and as the music fades,
I hear...

As wartime’s ending leaves behind
scarred  traces of its furious  hunts,
a melancholy cast of mind
endures this pang  with hope ablaze.
Where flies the  gold and  russet morn,
as autumn’s  languid  trail...

wild rushing strokes 
of broad bristles
dominating seaside sky
of ivory and indigo
in thick impasto~
like our faded footsteps 
along  *Stroomi shoreline

in times you forget the time
waiting just for...

lost in a winter dream~
beneath the indigo sky
the melancholic music soars
echoing from distant shores
making dainty daffodils dance
in the bleak starlit eve.

snowflakes whitened my hair
as I chase the evening glow

searching where the melodies flow
and there I...

DUSK EXUDES FIERY GOLDEN HUE
whispers prelude to a rendezvous 
of two souls once lost by the blue bay~
reuniting as night captures the day.

as lovers adrift in night’s...
