Drinking in a pink spring sun
Soaking up the day

Rose' Wine
Rosé Wine
The molten goblet tips,
spills day’s waning wine,
blushing the surface,
dimpled crystal catching color like liquid glass.
Quietly the sea sighs,
sunset dreaming.

Withered Roses
by Allama Iqbal
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
What shall I call you,
but the nightingale's desire?
The morning breeze was your nativity,
an afternoon garden, your sepulchre.
My tears welled up like dew,
till in my abandoned heart your rune grew:
this memento of love,
this spray of withered roses.

Walking through magenta meadows,
Where Sunshine spews its special spice…

Watching the mulberry seeds come to fruit,
Holding hands amidst refreshing rosette petals…
Vaporous Venus aromas steal the ambient air,
Kaleidoscopic kisses kindle the nestled night.

Sweet Rose Wine
As a new day dawns
uncorking within
sweet rose wine
drinking from
the cup
of happiness
with a joyful taste
sipping warm pink
Strawberry blushing clouds
alighting beautiful
falling raindrops
upon a flower
blooming buds
blossoming spring
in captivating petals
Bathing within
a pool
of warm words
swimming within
the mind
floating spiritually
echoing delight

Rose Wine
Your strong hand
beneath my head
my Love in your Blood
turned from friendship
did spread
into More
the first time you
took my Hand
and traveled every
line, of my Flesh land
the way you reflect your soul
Into my Eyes,
makes me forget my small stature
shape, size
in this world
I wish to carry your
future child
be it boy or girl
be them strong of spirit
Smarts
