Lambent
Lychee leaf lambent
lilac layered loadstone ledge
lachrymose lagoon
Maze
Milky moonlight maze
mystic marvel magnet moults
magic mother’s muse
Nomads
Nightingale nurtures
nonplussed nomads nestling near
nascent neon nooks

I stand here looking out across the land
At sun kissed pineapple plants row by row.
Green tops on red earth outwardly expand.
Rich volcanic soil filtered throughout time
Has grown many harvests of sugarcane;
Papayas, lychee, and mangos sublime.
These islands are a melting pot of souls
Who love to surf and swim in waltzing waves,
Laze in lagoons protected by sea shoals.
Steep sweeping mountains overlook the sea
With climbing trials that lead up to hill tops,
As Earth gives birth to every plant and tree.
From precious gems and metals that abound,
To minerals and herbs to make us well,
We are blessed by Earth's bounty from the ground.
Rising Earth began with islands, you know?
As steaming lava flows toward the sea,
Hawaiians feel honor watching Earth grow.

on a winter night
I tasted a summer fruit
under the blanket
pulpy and juicy
soft like a peeled red lychee
her luscious wet lips
lost in her softness
I explored new horizons
beyond this blue sky

Basundia, a glittering wonder of untamed raw Nature,
The pastoral splendour that reflects Eden in miniature.
The claret lychee-yards that stoop, stoop, stoop, stoop
With its branches, bunches that loop, loop, loop loop.
Blonde body of jackfruits dazzles green luminescence
Of grass-wet field as if with the golden phosphorescence.
The abundance of fruits fills the air with a dozy scent
So that thirsty drunkards of Nature can drink affluent.
The fresh air enters into the heart instead of the lung
And captivates that inner core, ever-new, ever-young.
The enchantress Basundia with her wands of Beauty,
Drenches the eyes of beholder with nectar of divinity.
