Golden skyline burns,
ambition dressed as virtue —
dead smiles sharpened thin.
Compassion becomes rumor;
even kindness costs too much.

Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall
Half summer gone, half way to fall
Amidst perfumed scents in the air
The year`s longest day is on call,
Half summer gone, half way to fall
With a feel of joy everywhere
That holds everyone on a thrall,
Half summer gone, half way to fall
Amidst perfumed scents in the air.

Best Romantic Poem 12/13/24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Perfumed Romantic Bower
Twilight calls me with a soft amber light,
Into delicate scents of memory,
To a fragile bower of fragrant nights
Your saffron smile, a perfumed mystery.
Through gossamer hues of incense demur,
Fantasies flutter like silken moonbeams,
When we sip the honeyed nectar of myrrh,
And savor sweet spices in whispered dreams.
Scents of tuberose merge with star jasmine,
Draw us into this garden’s scented glen
Where the pulsing of bluebellvines entreat
Enchantment from your flute song sung again.
Love’s dulcet scent of ambrosia transcends
Our perfumed garden, harmony ascends.

Perfumed Garden
Twilight calls in soft floral amber lights,
Delicate in the scent of memory,
To fragile bowers of fragrant delights -
Saffron smiles wrapped in scented mystery.
Sinuous silk plumerias of myrrh
‘Twine satin fingertips ‘neath musky mantles
When gossamer hues of incense demur
Bluebellvines bloom in soft chimes with candles.
Tender scents of tuberose, sweet jasmine,
Float from this shy perfumed garden glen
Petals spread wide as lotus buds begin
To welcome gentle moonbeams touch again.
Trembling seeds arouse spice scents on bloom's skin
As in pure union harmony ascends.

Bluebellvine is a flower in India.
Blossoms everywhere,
Green bed, colourful duvets
Perfumed dreams of love.
Merriment winds dapple bouncing
gleeful spots of energetic play
when they joy lift her thru
childhood perfumed leaves of yesterday.
Emotionally puckered steps
kick-slipping thru teenage ground arrays
wore angst sized woodsy shoes
during those years when leaves all smeared gray.
A girl who never said good-bye
disappeared down in sensual lays
when her heart first love sighed
awry in love crunched leaves spiced risque.
With aches not yet adult strong,
she smeared regrets where teared upsets lay -
on leaves that shamed her dreams
while fresh scents hid their bits that betray.
Last night I tried my new perfume spray
With my own fingers I squeezed the nozzle,
Instead of the fine mist of perfume, a thin ray
Came out of it; and asked me to solve a puzzle
Which part of my life I wanted to hide
Which smelly deed, which perspiring nook
I turned back, only to see an enormous tide
Submerging all my stale moments that looked
Like a heap of rotten fish, dumped on the forlorn shore
Where no one ever comes, no one ever goes
All the moments lay before me,through their grey pores
Trickled down my joys, my pains, and there rose
Time, my most intricate friend, like a poet in trance
He waved towards me, and started a magical raindance
shudder as the reeds
that bend at nature’s whimsy-
the winds of passion
A deepened breath
Her heartfelt words
My stirring spirit
Sweet beautiful girls
You whisper gently
So shy you seem
Beyound our eyes
This love I dream..
To hold you close
Your beauty's light
Kiss soft your lips
And make you mine.
Scents to mingle in summer heat,
Jasmine,Honeysuckle, bittersweet.
The perfumed petals ,paperwhite
first intoxicate,then delight.
Lilies waxing in summer light
A heady fragrance to fill the night
