snow-carpeted lawn
welcomes poinsettias to dance...
pine trees strive to sway...

Grumbling, the leaf falls,
Upon the carpeted grounds.
Warm orange and red--
Enriching earths, feeding roots.
Winter's a mushy affair....

midst violet carpeted green
rose lit from above,

Small songs at bedtime,
a chorus of night music
aloft from carpeted moss

Crickets are hidden 
with a cadence and rhythm
soften the weariest night

Dancing away before the brightly burning gas fireplace.
Feeling the warmth of the flames through the glass upon my face.
Prancing about on this open-concept basement's beige carpeted floor....

the persnickety, snooty, snotty cat queen put on airs
as if there were not a ridiculous succulent on her head
I watched her climb those red-carpeted prissy throne stairs
and thought she must be low class, common, and pretty lowbred....

The spherical fire 
tucks itself to bed
burning out slowly
as it sinks into the sea

Now waking 
the opaque face
takes his place
in the black carpeted
sky that embeds 
the heavens diamonds

The hour of dreams
is upon us......

She pauses, slender figure poised on
slenderer heels,

five inches of coquetry
ready to duet with
fifty feet of parquetry,

play a wicked staccato on
dinner-jacketed libidos.

Then she pushes open the double door
to find a newly carpeted floor....

Along our path, I've scattered seeds around,
so when the songs of meadowlarks resound,
sweet violets will soon spring from the ground.

As if inside a dream, we'll softly tread
along that path now blossom-carpeted
and make sweet love on a violet bed.

     Portraits of hedgehogs on his grimy tiled walls
        Pete did for good taste what heat does for snow balls  

     Though a weird kind of charm lay on his carpeted floor
        Not hedgehogs, but bedbugs as Pete flopped kissed him like whores

Love is curling up against your humming form
In the carpeted corner of a carefully soundproofed room
The soaring notes are meant for only these two hearts
These paneled walls built to hold sensation close
For what is music but the intimate caress
Of gentle harmony?...

A shrimp pond ahead. Then a carpeted road.
By the roadside mango-jamun-sal 
and coconut trees in line

All these trees, a long time ago, our old grandpa planted
He talks to trees as his offspring. 'Father,' softly they call him. 
'Uncle,' so I call them whenever I see a chance....

We made the stairs our place

    Painted the walls

    With memories of last night

    And planted

    Bottoms onto the carpeted steps

    

    We stretched our arms across the banister

    To measure

    How quickly the shadows shrink

    As the bags under our eyes creased

    Into tiny smiles...

Dewdrops kiss my skin
A silver coat over my shoulders, green
There's magic in every morning. 
In the atmosphere wafts perfumes of earths daughters
They sway their hips,
they nod their heads
petals fall at my feet.
The floor is carpeted with beautiful hues
red, white and purple too
The birds come piping morning's tune.

Scouring cerebral rooms.
Lost in the hallways of feeling.
Locked in emotional tombs.
Each key now revealing..
A door behind a door.
A mansion in my mind.
Apathetic drive carpeted floor.
Blue prints undefined.
Eclectic paintings hang.
Crooked on walls of peeling plaster.
Then my door bell rang.
Welcome to my mental disaster....

you can find it under the bark of age old trees
it lives in the skeletons of fallen leaves
you can hear it bounce off 
a carpeted climb 
concrete laden steel
it’s on your mind
on the tip of your tongue
a word that sits on your lips
a thought 
screams below your vocal chords
pointless 
so never spoken
"if only i had"
"what if"
"if" ...

Layer upon layer of copper leaves,  

Lay here, and all around.

As the birch tree lost it's canopy,

And carpeted the ground.

Beneath my feet, some ankle deep

Some falling through the air.

Autumn's gusts gathered strength,

And spread them, everywhere.

I dreamed a dream 
Of a flowing stream,
Where things got wet
In a pristine jet,

Near to that stream
The flowers did gleam,
They stole the show 
With their coloured glow,

Came there the birds
Chirruping sweet words,
Then flew across 
The carpeted moss,

I sat down there 
To enjoy and stare,
Then screamed a scream
For 'twas just a dream.

rainy days in May
flowers  bloom and scents the air
mixture of colors 
carpeted the wider fields
green mountains and hills are laid

Here is nothing except you and me
and a charming nature
beautifully decorated with hills and lakes
vales are carpeted with fine green grasses

So quick
the happy hours pass away
from the so little life
Many things remaining to say yet
and to do

So when you think of me
then I think of you
Thus thinkings of each other
make some poems of love
make the earth a perfect heaven...

Golden water glittering through
delicate weeping willow leaves
Swans swimming on  the lake
Grand  house on top of the hill
neatly framed with many trees
Shingled roof  peaked gables
Large arched windowed eyes
Carpeted  flowers staircases
Marble floor,  chequered hall
Dining room living room den
Settee Louis XVI parlor chair
Deep  yellow blue pink letter
Clatter of  six sets  of  hoofs...
