there is no course,
one must simply go with the flow
the penumbra stands waivering its existence,

When tangerine tinted tunes 
within 
  sunset serenades~
 unravel saffron symphonies,
  engrossed in 
  hibiscus hymns of hallelujah~
I swirl to radiant rays of 
  sakura stardust,
where mystical monologues 
of silent angels~
caress...

Je ne parle pas couramment le français.

Exotic perfumes opulent 
Hibiscus and jasmine sentient
Charming flute and sitar entice
Indian chants undulating
Heads pivoting eyes inviting
Warm smiles reminiscent of spice
Voices that throw you in a trance
In a most voluptuous dance
Timing of twirling so precise
Long black...

Clouds explode and bloom
Flower petals fall as rain
Sunshine picks them up again
Counting each scented one

He loves me
He loves me not
(The rhythm of a young girl’s dreams)

Magnolias in the summer
Frangipanis...

Spring is dressed up
in various  shades of green
Generously emitting sun rays
with a dazzling sheen

The sycamore tree 
keeps sighing in the hissing 
Morning wind. Frangipanis 
here and there glisten

As white as winter snow.
