Premium Member Spring's Palette

Spring starts, with the drip, drip, of icicles:
as longer days of sunshine warm the air.
And as folks switch from cars to bicycles,
winter weather turns from freezing to fair.

Tulip, daffodil, and crocus bulbs sprout;
imbuing gardens with colorful inks.
And as life's resurrected, all about:
Spring's awash, in a sea of blues and pinks.

The first of the songbirds start tweeting tunes:
shortening the length of Winter's harsh rule.
And melting lakes echo the calls of lunes:
as ice-free waters flow, from cold to cool.

Red, yellow, violet, purple, and gold:
define Spring's palette as subtle, yet bold.

Premium Member colors of love

demi lunes 

ascending the height of pleasure
tantra crept in
through the cracks of reality

a rainbow crescent eclipsed all pain
turned the suffering of suffering
into a medium for growth and change

chakras mingled in orange and indigo
blue and red composed violet glows
a yellow hue infused 
navel gazing at its best

her green eyes mesmerized
the radiance of togetherness
created a full spectrum
of mind body and soul

like children they painted
on the canvas of their skins
as tidal waves of intimate warmth 
ebbed and flowed
to the sound of music in their heart

when synaesthesia exploded all senses
all darkness disappeared
and white stars watched over their union

two demi lunes became
one lunar globe
tickled by sunlight of compassion
caressed infinite peace
