Jasmine is yet to blossom
Cool white lean lissome

Her hips move with every twist
Shimmering frame, lissome belly
Slender and lithe, slithers like jelly
Looks so sweet on celluloid
A mischievous smile she carries
This Indian Cabaret dancer
SWAN LAKE
Enchantment divine
Lissome swan gracefully died
White floral bouquet.
PETALS
Rainfall on white rose
Demise of fragile beauty
Petals on the ground.
SNOWDROP
A winter warrior
Brings heartfelt moment of joy
Delicate snowdrop.
Lissome cloud floats
In the celestial sky
With luxuriant pinion
Now rests
In total repose on the birch hill
A brief sojourn against the firmament
Then moves eastward
To besmirch the soil
In throes of parting

An escapade from thought parades
A blockade of rouge descent
An oeillade craved
Rueful indignance
A room full of insects
A jocose allusion
A lissome illusion
A querulous reality
I weep where you can't see
Streams of dreams
Melt slowly, spring snowman
Abhorrent print
Why can't I just speak casually
Lazing in spring's warm bliss
lure butterflies with scents
Lustrous pearly dewdrops
leave velvety footprints
Landscape spangled with stars
Lissome leaves in white hues
Lie on me when I die...

Lissome blossom,
Look that shook,
Exchange on a long range,
Embrace with grace,
Kiss as if a bliss,
Infection of affection,
Dove like love,
Life without strife,
Material as well as immaterial,
Its flow sweet slow,
Rare care,
Together with no bother,
Understanding outstanding,
Happy and zappy,
They lived sipping nectar forever.
With the amber dawn, she was born
One bountiful November morn
She grows in skips of lissome luck
Trilling songs of squirrels and ducks
Her charm can please the gilded trees
Sweet lilting call of honeybees
Gifting to her human fairies
Ruby seeds of autumn berries
In her lilac eyes, a sprinkle-
A coy, periwinkle twinkle...

The lady had her day
Of bright lips and mystery
In summer she was Muskeg
Each winter a monsoon
It was as monet
Her refusal to weep
And had my courtship
Proven less lissome
If I had not cast lots
With vagabonds and dreadnaughts
Then perhaps, say I, perhaps
Time would not be vain
And the lady
Still ever vivid in circumstance
And moon fall
September's wind is most winsome today.
See the lovliest of lilacs and lillies sway ?
See the daintiest of daisies dance away ?
See the tangoing tulips seductive at play?
See them now, beckoning you?
Hear the lissome buttercups rejoice?
Hear the lucid charm in their voice?
Hear the lithe of the Myrtle tree?
Hear them now , whispering to you?

Sloth-toed ivy flutters
in lissome breeze,
each pentagram the pinion
of a jade butterfly
clustered on a brick wall.
In the throes of spring
they sojourn
from dark loam
toward shingled firmament,
past celestial windows
pewter with light
as they besmirch
diaphanous peril,
imagining
when they reach heaven
they will repose like angels
in the shimmering damask
of God's aura.

Elevated and poised, exuding an air of grace
she steps smartly, in a fluid motion.
Perfectly balanced.
like a lissome gazelle on tippy toes.
Staging each step, she adds her own unique flare
confident, yet feminine enough, to flow natural
not practiced.
With her sensual sassy swing
she’s alluring, and yet, discernibly unapproachable!

Lavish lilac layers link lofty laurel lunar lanterns
laissez-faire luxurious largesse lifts labouring lumberjack
loop-de-loop lilting Limerick levity lessens life’s load
laughter laden-lampoon, a little lacerating labyrinthine lip
limelight lustrous leonine lithe lady launches lavender lace
lucid lissome leisurely land loper locket livid loom
Lopsided lounge lizard’s love-lies-bleeding loose leaf
He was virile voyager called Stanley,
with slurping tongue he could burn cold alley.
In journey from top downward
his machismo got devoured,
he found lustful way in lissome valley.
This man never found the bed out of bounds,
his wife liked he explored ivory mounds.
Her drooping assets age got,
he disliked, monk he was not,
ventured out exploring youthful new grounds.
I found a large bottle in a second hand store
and something about it spoke to my creative nature.
Right away, I imagined a beautiful bottle garden
so, I gathered earth, pebbles, pretty rocks,
and of course delicate fetching lush green plants.
The result delightful with gossamer threads of vines
and labyrinthine lush green wandering twisting growth,
all within a bottle to create a lissome graceful scene.
Thy September wind is most winsome today.
Seest the lovliest of lilacs and lillies sway ?
Seest the daintiest of daisies dance away ?
Seest the tangoing tulips seductive at play?
Seest them now, beckoning thee?
Hearest the lissome buttercups rejoice?
Hearest the lucid charm in their voice?
Hearest the lithe of the Myrtle tree?
Hearest them now , whispering to thee?

Oh to be as a star!
My lissome form shimmering.
Set in the firmament
By some celestial being.
Oh to be as a bird!
To let the breeze flow over the pinion
Of my mighty wings
And men can not besmirch my name.
Oh to be as a traveler!
Each new home a simple sojourn.
To have come from the throes
Of my past tents and mansions.
Oh but this joyous reverie has come to an end
And we must return to our blissful repose.

Sparkling water tumbling down
Effervescent in beauty
Reminds me of purity
Spotless, untainted.
Kids mother, my lovely mate,
Sailing down the stream of life,
Responsibly and caring,
Family and me.
Raising our children with love,
Caring for their well being.
Clean clothing, good meals prepared,
They know they are loved.
Lissome and charming is she,
Earning our children’s respect.
She is beautiful in our eyes,
Spotless, untainted.
December susurrations mingle
in this lissome isthmus
and our wispy Vespers,
these suspired planets
gossip along misty vistas
of silvery insinuations
and hushed hints.
The fractured lisps
of elusive revelations
curl in the breeze,
a gypsy veil
between shivering lips
in the cusp
of our trysting breaths.
Ascending daystars converse
in this lexis of secrets
and draw us a scroll to Venus
with each breathless ellipsis
between whispers.
The ceiling lowers a chandelier’s glow,
A suspended drizzle of glass fireflies.
Marble tiers like a sharp-edged ruffle,
Scaled by lissome feet in buffed leather shod.
As jewels’ shine with sequins’ luster vies,
And pomade’s glints with brilliantine's scuffle,
A beauty to make all womanhood blush,
Ascends the stairs, and with her all eyes rise.
Silk gown’s long train trailing e’er so graceful,
A teardrop’s upflow that brings down a hush;
Young squires turn faithful.
Comely muse, take your shape--
Demure and dulcet, be my escape;
Hold tight your evocative position
Flawless art craves your rendition;
Your fetching pose a mystery to all
An ingenue over slaves in a thrall;
Who you are is of certain paragon
Your elixir eyes bring only halcyon;
Remain aloft forever in bungalow
I will tame the flames held below;
Your silent eloquence fills my view
Lissome and lithe, I'd die for you;

*****************
Not frail, but a supple whisper,
timidity softened into grace,
a slope bending with light.
Syllables flow, languid yet nimble,
bursting like a jovial colloquy,
round and full at the edges.
Curves of ink lean forward,
thick black against white,
a clamor of elegance denied.
It coddles my flaws,
rebukes steady fear,
and leaves me lissome in memory.
