Arrhythmic currents flow through trunk
Undulating frothy waves crest bough
Trickling nutrients in warm cavity bunk
Unsatiated leaves wipe sappy brow
Melange of colors sugary tears endow
Nascent blades a new surface do plow...

The wheel of time rotates
the destiny kaleidoscope 
lattice makes life’s melange
in perception topography 
of dismal burnt wasteland
or euphoric emerald vale.

this
  inner light
the 
   spirit of 
        romance
and
a time 
      for perspective:
metaphors
   that float
in
the
air:
     explantions
that
stroll
as painted
      adjectives
      in a

  the

Trail of Dreams

With long auburn tresses,
And Spumoni-melange, flowing,
satin night dress,
She floats with you on opalescent
clouds.

You hold her butterfly heart,
Ever so gently.
Knowing she is your gift forever,
In the most divine....silent and 
celestial splendor!

Apologies to Clement Clarke Moore

The Night Before Christmas

In juxtaposition to the Nativity, while the
house beheld a calm and somnolence splendors
were a cool and gentle balm, the quintescence
of the evening was a certain entourage that
would dispel the expectations of a puerile
melange.
"Veni, vidi, vice", he gave a joyous cry,
"Requiescant in pace, I'll see you by and by."...

There was a fire in your heart
That illuminated my soul
Like a billion stars
Which brighten a moonlit night

In the flicker of a moment
I saw your beauty
I felt your compassion
I knew your purpose

Love and sensuality
Impetuous and uninhibited 
The perfect melange
To satiate my parched heart

Liberated by consummation
Enslaved by euphoria
Expectations surpassed
By the transcendence  of you...

Camouflaged, in life's musical arrangement,
lies a melange of harmonies sounds.
Those, of a daydreaming waltz.
Others, with the vitality of a tango.

And when this symphony plays,
and its melodies espoused.
With each sound that resonates.
Will our paths become more illuminated.

Then will we not just walk with boredom,
but dance with all our spirit.
Nor will we just hum a low tune,
but sing loud a vibrant song....

Slowly drip yourself upon me
Each drop of tears, sweat and soul
Swallowed by my embrace
However hard, however hot
And thirsty for more
Slowly drip yourself upon me
Coat my pliant grip
The grist that leads you towards me
With pure, titillating glue
That adheres my whims
To your wants
Slowly drip yourself upon me
I'm in need of your wretched drenching
Your melange
Spiked with bitter pleasure
And I'm loving every drop.

sowing a melange 
of veined wafers 
viridescent shavings
leaves upon leaves
chaotically neat
layered in tranquillity
for the theatrical show
of first feet
premiere wellies
curtain up at dawn
cue the early walkers
after a night’s forlorn

which unseen hand
spritely close
knitted the forest
cross-stitched floor
taking their time
perfectionist
preparing fallen 
Jenga sticks 
behind the scenes
but never seen
Jack in the Green...

A spindling sun stream on bough's cloak spun
Melange of orange, yellow, red on foliage doth billow
Decadent Umbrella wields fluorescent shield o'er barren 
fields
Glinted blades colorful shades heighten
Bright-cherry, Oak leaf gloss doth floss
Purple haze of each Sweet Gum lobe doth tase
Yellow fringes on White Oak fingers waxes with gilding 
syringe
Orange Marmalade, Maple stars varnished with tinseling 
spade
Blue Beech crusted folds dusted with a brackish rust...

Hallows Eve to Candlemas,
the sun now turning south,alas;
November sombre,December dark,
January,February cold and stark.
Catkins litter the forest floor,
beeches shed their leaves galore.
Gales melange the mix,as decay brings 
nature's bionomics.
Hexagon pointed stars move and shift ,
into a patterned powdered drifts.
Rain filled days of slush and muck,
webs on shards of gossamer 
stuck.
Twilight months in winter shade 
until the snowdrops matamorphise 
in the glade....
