A beautiful rose stood by a wall, it's flower for everyone to see
It's scent was smelled by one and all, and then it was gone, the petals fall.

Afternoon Hours

Dreamed cardinals bring
 Flashes stunning carmine gleams
Soul flutters wings, too

a wealth of rubies
cardinals among berries
red hibiscus bloom

crimson sun sinking
leaving vivid trails of fire
on scarlet roses

dragonflies emerge
going everywhere, silent
on soft carmine wings...

Her mouth drawn in carmine
paints malice temptation to
my wishes...
if she calls me in smiles
I shudder with pleasure
anticipation...
that fatal mouth
hallucinate my
sanity, the
powerful sensual catalyst... !...

A
blood red
drop
flows like
a liquid
ruby
down
the sides
of a slow
melting candle
as it burns
carmine
flames
sharing
magenta
scarlet
and
crimson
hues.

A rhapsodic delight in a carmine feathered coat,
a cardinal sits amid the verdigris limbs;
with breast puffed out
he croons lovely tones as
vibrations of harmony 
to my ears;
Ah, nature is bliss!

Wan shades 
of carmine and carnelian
Dying in a sunset’s 
languid demise
The flame of pink, 
the smoke of lavender
Grudgingly giving rise…to
Final feeble glowing light 
of velvety purple 
Then to Ebon soot of night

Squeezing gently her breast, afore the vanity
Arousing their nipples; soft moist kisses; She
Sitting atop perfumed in Violet's satin sheets
White lace stockings; Chanel No. 5 sixty-nine
Bows black silk traces; Carmine, lipstick sighs....

Ample is the rising sun
That alights the furthest mountain –
A carmine drape upon every hill –
Exciting the birds to warble. 

Ample, too, is the evening sun
That paints a nebulous curtain – 
Quickly changing the palette until
Bringing the good day to shutter....

Benumbed was all focus
Each element that descended
Within my wake
Mirrored a distinguished display
Of carmine cloudbursts and vanilla memories
Whilst I gazed above the windowsill
Though each and every existence
Defines the epitome of significance
Now and infinitely forevermore...

Dazzling carmine leaves
dance like fair Geisha on a
Japanese Maple.
Shapely arms, curving branches,
bend in cadence with the wind.

*Carmine is a pigment of a bright-red color, as is most often used by Geisha to color their lips....

Look upon now
Hold the carmine sky
with your small hands
Feel the cloud’s slow moves
See the boat on the blueness
that bearing hope to you
The roses bloom
Wind that tickling your body
is the scream
of the pale city
Your skin burned
with winter's cold,
your soul fell
with spring's words
feed your earth that
falling with yellow leaf...

Golden brooch on a red silk robe
The goldfinch sits in a rose meadow
In the shamrock, azure, carmine land
She comes to mourn a loved one’s death

Amid beauty of the peerless form
A dreadful dead march is sung. 

Meanwhile, the rose bud grows into bloom
The twilight sky is an ever-changing hue.

My God is very simple, He is a friend of mine
He talks to me, He comforts me, He is always at my side

My God is only goodness, He will only smile on me
No sorrows pass between us, the joys of life He shares with me

And what do I do to deserve this God, what is the secret for having this friend
"to just love your fellow man" is His message, and we shall always walk hand in hand.

Carmine, orange, and rust paint the trees
as they drip from Jack Frost's brush
clashing with emerald green
they set treetops afire
with blazing color
a splendorous
November 
work of
art 

red
cerise
and scarlet
colored pigments
fuel vermilion flames
that scorch green canopies
crimson ashes in their wake
dabbled with scarlet and yellow
as the leaves change almost overnight...

Cast be thy fate to live in exile

Bated be your fair fluffed fleece

Face of said avenue beguiled

Ebbed a carmine masterpiece


Ebony landscapes you adorn

The eyes of thousands you have hooked

Whines sharp replicas of thorns

Question mark shaped be such nooks


Appeased the ice queen had appeared

Fabricating jagged thrills of mirth

A concept quite eerie, yet linear

'Til done apart by spineless dearth...

You consumed me whole,
unshackling secrets
stitched close to me,
eavesdropping on
each whispering word of
my muted confessions

Your carmine lips
relish my
rugged refrain,
your touch,
a lustful lavender caress
blossoming like
spring tendrils,
drenched in
the nectar,
an ambrosiac conflagation

I sway
back and forth
on the vines of lust
as the Eden-esque fruit,
the vinicultural life
of your sipped wine...
