Through a kaleidoscope
A physical life in crisis
Dying seems imminent
Does your life go pasteurize
Or is it through gossamer organza
A zephyr blowing
With vivacity zip
In springiness with vitality
Straight to the grave
Sometimes the misuse of a word can be funny...

"Mere echoes of changing seasons passed, Mother Nature doesn't give it a second chance or through as the axis shifts."
quote by poet
Mother Nature's quenching heartbeat,
Sipping the wavering unfurl dawn sun.
It teases yellow, and green loveliness
Of her rich breast, ripple dress endowment.
Sweet scented fragrance embracing of spring.
Bees dart, nuzzle among open vernal parasol blooms.
Iridescent organza rotates, awaiting playful feet,
Pollen dress laden in ambrosia, a golden dream.
Sun blending amber and lemon hues of summer
Rays of warmth, flicker through waves of clouds.
Indigo bunting perch on a wild sunflower
Amid a brilliant and pleasant rising strawberry moon.
Autumnal tint in the vast radiant cool evening sky.
The rustling crunch of scarlet and golden leaves that fall.
Living benevolent trees with generating slumber.
Chill wraith perigean full moon, fades into the ink-black heaven.
Mother nature slowly does sleep beneath cold snow.
Winter's breath blows when flowers are scarce.
Birds migrate, bees huddle together to keep warm.
Darkness slowly creeps amid shivering twilight.

I.
Ode the thrill of a tango
curled in clutches sleek
Elegance, a prerequisite
Add on a spun euphoria
Nimble is a turgid swoon!
Arms conduct to the aria
New skin, feels no tocsin
It's deeply in a you and i
Glazed, to the tightening
and a strangling organza
Necked into a suffocation
So go the tunnel deaths…
(1/27/2021: '02 Silverton MY; Alameda ...contest theme was murder in the tunnel)
II.
Ornately, I gild over my days a’ la fresco
Carefully, I wield molten gold, enigmatic
Elaborate must these life undulations be
as metallic sheen screens all insipid aura
New cantankerous crack? Just weld upon
and smooth the jagged with flowing flora
Now the feckless plaster sparkles golden
I spurn mawkish, like the silvered literati
glossing my craven, to caverns gleaming
Aurum weaves, in its narcissistic miasma
Nothing malodorous in self-love / loathin’
So imperious my bombastic art, it glazes!

Just like the Goddess Amphitrite
Adorned in pink organza
As if she wants to dance all night
Resplendent in her glittering gown

Searching the twilight horizon
For signs she's on her way
As I anticipate her rising
Have felt like this all day
The cloud begins to gather
Betwixt the sea and sky
I welcome her arrival
She makes my spirit fly
Just as I start to doubt
That tonight she will come out
A delicate glow
A glow I know
Rises from the sea
Just like the Goddess Amphitrite
Adorned in pink organza
As if she wants to dance all night
Resplendent in her glittering gown
Her dazzling light is beaming down
This ballerina of the sky
I do not blink ~ I am wide eyed
I'm moonstruck and I'm mesmerised
To see such wonder with my eyes
Her beauty seeps inside my soul
I hear sweet music all around
My head is spinning to the sound
For now I'm in another place
Moonbeams lighting up my face
Gazing at this Super Moon
I swoon ~ I may not be back soon…

delicate gauzy organza sheers
window dressing dancing in the bedroom
blown gently by forced air heat
piped in by silver register on floor
moving softly in a sensuous way
erotic dance of cosmic feelings
my wide awake eyes
overwhelmed by imagination
conjures up a dancing ghost

Feeling my way through the fingers of spring
I walk inside that beautiful rain
with an organza hat that has seen better days
undone by the petrichor scent of each inhale
I loose myself and suddenly I am young again

Luster of ivory
Gleaming through mist- glow;
Caressed by winter’s finery.
Diaphanous nymphet,
Floating in crystal air
Organza ---sheen as bridal grace!

Dainty as a maiden embellished in deep violet,
She flutters through grassland, emitting a tangy perfume
And her bodice, luscious, drifts on an organza garment
That reflects queenly admiration from a sunlight blessed:
How butterflies wheel around this goddess’s appointed space
Cruising, parading to endow their dear noblest regard,
Till she blushes in a dance to a crowd gasping aloud
To applaud her womanly entrance, her spring's majesty!

Time has a way
To simply say,
To find the way
To yesterday.
Space wears a face
In steady trace,
In touch of grace
Upon my face.
I come to meet
Echoes that greet,
Bitter yet sweet
Upon these streets.
Soul mellows fate
Here at these gates,
I am not late
To sparkle date.
Et cetera
Odd agenda,
Silk organza
Memoranda.
So many thoughts
That flood odd lot,
Here spill the dots
In charm's sweet spot.
Tell my story
In rhymes I see,
Buzz fantasy,
Plush sensory.

Safety in pins
Her mother bestows her with a pillow
Blooming roses in azure and red
embellished with silken threads
Edged with a
A crystalline river
Making Anuket shiver
"Just stick a pin in it
whenever you worry!"
she says casually.
A worry pillow!
In a cheerful facade
How contradictory
Rose Thinks
Still better than
Biting her tongue.
She sticks the first pin in it.
The first flaw on the pillow's
Beautiful Facade.
She pricks the pillow
with a black safety pin
When she dreams of
Fire eating dragons
She sticks another
when her milk tooth becomes wobbly
And another dent on lovely facade
of the pillow
She sticks another
in a bold colour
when kissing a boy
She sticks an orange
one in securing
her first job.
Attached to a signed contract
She sticks an organza one
at her wedding day attached to
a butterfly confetti.
At her baby girl's birth
She sticks a pink one
attached to a ribbon
The faded worry pillow
becomes her life story
Every safety pin a dot
for the map of her life.

The time’s Organza,
Subtly covered the torso,
of my being
The bride I am my Beloved
The bride of Love
And when I’m in Love with You
I’m in Love with Humanity
They all came to celebrate!!!
Your shine pulses in my heart
It’s about to blast a word
Only a word for my,
Overwhelming surrenderance
Till I extinguish in the spark
Of eternity
Dispersed throughout the heaven
Layered in all:
Imaginable semi- imaginable, and
Unimaginable dimensions
For the poor mortals as I
After awakening from this
Divine ecstasy
To remain intoxicated, and
See the diamond tears
Of all those,
In Love

Memories of a summer time so sweet
Palm trees swaying in a rhythmical beat
Watching waves as they come upon the shore
As a young child I loved to make sandcastles tall.
For windows I’d use the prettiest shells
A piece of driftwood I used for my door
To finish it off a wide moat I would dig deep
The water from my bucket around it I’d poor.
Another summer memory of which I recall
The colourful flowers blooming so tall
Bright red, yellow and pink budding roses
A welcoming sight that summer was here.
I chose pink rose buds and delicate white orchids
A combination of which was a magical sight
Blending so well with my gown of crystal organza
When we married, that warm romantic night.
