Hypnotized under control

In a field of irises

shocked with sunburnt spots of red
— xanthous sun’s sore glare

irises sway in
the breeze, gentle, graceful for
a moment am lost
in reverie enchanted 
by the iris pas de deux....

The mist,
Dances,
like ballerina heels,

It kisses,
The fountains,
And irises,
Bows and sways on

If I cannot dream in any other hue,
Then stretched upon my eyes sticks a blue film,
Therefore my cornea cracks and shatters
Because irises trick both the fake and true....

Quiet are the hyacinths
Underneath the snows
Irises and violets
Even the red rose
Today are lying silent
Underneath the snows
Daffodils and lilacs
Even the red rose....

INTIMACY

Interweave ecstasy
Intertwined tangibly
Infusion of your smile
Irises make me blush
I crave your mind and heart
Intimacy with you 
Idyllic life for two

White like the snow, stands
Alone supported by strong stem
So different you

Surrounded by kind
But dark dark purple showy
They lean into you

Eyes burn red;
sticky lines streak
down cheeks
flushed pink.

Moisture clings
to wilting lashes,
breaths are 
ragged and harsh.

Doubt casts a shadow 
over hazel irises,
warping images
projected at them....

Purple irises lapping up sunlight
No regard for tomorrow
Basking in the moment.

Standing in soldier-like rows, salute sun;
Violet blue uniforms
Lint less in summer’s breeze.

The irises,
In van goghs,
Dreamy canvas,

Sway,
Like lovely ladies,
In purple gypsy dresses,

To a still lilys sonata,
As the roses and sunflowers,
Sigh in vivid chorus,
And hues
Reynaldo Casison...

We would like to
eat steaks in Alaska
or fry battered mushrooms,
but the there is money
to be made
in the Southland.
The irises bloom here thickly,
and roses bleed,
while tinkering hands
use up the day....

To  explore the mystery,
Behind veils of irises
Covering sinful beauty;
I am imprisoned, no less
By the pain your look suggests.

Sweet scented blossom
Perfume fills the air
Rejuvenating the world with colour
Irises wave in the wind like purple flags
New life everywhere
Get out and enjoy the spring sunshine!
