Princess of the night,
Kissed by the romantic breeze:
Moon glows with envy....

Would you still be my friend if I told you I loved you?
That after all these years you were always the one
How watching you smile—is like watching the sun rise
Beautiful like a night-flowering cereus, and arousing like chocolate covered deserts.
That your big brown delicious eyes make me salivate,
Like a Saint Bernard on the hottest day of August.
I might be a man—you might be a man— so what?...

Serenity is nature-induced bliss,
bliss of gentle color-kiss.

Kiss that sets the soul alight,
alight in its ecstatic flight.

wing away in song of spring.

Spring will smile like waxing moon,
moon of planting in full-bloom.

Blooms of cereus in full flowers,
flowers scent wafting through bowers.

And then thrown in just as a bonus, a rumour spread of Pseudomonas
No way you nincompoops cried Hans, it’s Candida albicans. 
We’re all agreed the team replied........ just after Anatoli died!...

Listen to poem:

A shining example, when shattering insight becomes deleterious

I paused, reflecting; seeing past times, versions of delirious,
Roaming across unfrozen ice, I can't take the vision so serious.
Relevant; for it shows pains that resemble being a human Cereus
Overshadowing, my most lonely introspective moment of Sirius
Realizing sadness by finding it powerless; internal happiness is propitious...
