Memory of a forgotten era,
an ornate machine brings back,
reminisce past with deep yearning,
a chime, a song, embedded
in yester-years' faded charm!

Ornate the ring in my heart of love for the union
Rejuvenate the feelings thru the spring of soul
Name the momentum with the celestial epitaph
Adore the beads of time in the pure unity for life
Tempest of the conjugal life will be peaceful way
Ebullient happiness will be the paramount of mate

"The selective instinct of the artist tells him when his language should be homely, and when it should be more elevated; and it is precisely in the imperceptible blending of the plain with the ornate that a great writer is distinguished. He uses the simplest phrases without triviality, and the grandest without a suggestion of grandiloquence."
~ George Henry Lewes
I am a fan of simple,
Not highly ornate,
I must understand the words,
So as to relate;
When I read poetry deep
With toughest vocab,
And the meaning of the lines
Are too hard to grab,
I'll simply skip it and go
To the next best one,
Too flowery is not cool,
Such poems I'll shun;
As they say, keep it simple,
It works best for me,
Ornate language is okay,
But it'll just bore me,
For I'm a fan of simple,
Not highly ornate,
But give me ornate trinkets,
Now, that would be great.

Life is an incredible party
lives happily surrounded by flowers,
death is so priceless
even sad always brings
for ceremony, flower and power

Came spring with fragrance
On ornate gate red roses
Lit with dancing drops
On leaves and petals sparkling
Robin waking up dawn

I trace the ornate
Around edges of your frame
I breeze along your
Seemingly great opulence
Your fine figure is all mine

ornately hued predator,
