Cancer fighting, wonder fruit
Fleshy, thousand seeds
Pureed and frozen
Rich sorbet

coming and going
the sound of waves
at ocean's edge

thunderstorm
wind and rain
embracing

damp evening
through patchy clouds
a star now and then

morning rain

plush peach peonies
persistent pleasing perfume
prized prodigious pearl

dazzlingly divine
dramatic dark dahlias
days dreamily die

mild mystifying maiden

Alone, weeps in the night.
             Whippoorwill, goes to her side.
             Comfort, in moonlight.

Golden moonflower 
Rising in your periwinkle sky
As chrysanthemums bloom and die
In bursts of sparkling showers

You shake your head and sigh
Watching into the wee hours
With all your silent, godly powers
As we ignite July....

A kingfisher
would like to have no borders,
     no moongates.

            *

    Sleep not, when 
the moon rises. I will call 
    the moonflower.

             *

    The dusk 
has a short vision of 
    a crescent moon.

Darkness blooming
graceful moon vine,
boastful in striking radiance
as darkness stalks
daylight reclines,

Midnight banquet
petals devour,
stars reflect
commitment, entwined
sustainable in twilight hours,

Whispers shared
lost in bleak skies ink,
lantern flowers
guide soul drifters
reserved charm ~
timid sunrise winks...

Moonflowers  l a z i l y  unfurl
Savoring the stunning moonlight.
A faultless nocturnal white pearl.
Moonflowers  l a z i l y  unfurl,
A catnip scent, fluffy moths swirl
Needful pollinate they alight.
Moonflowers  l a z i l y  unfurl
Savoring the stunning moonlight.

Deadly ensnaring charm, 
Mysterious Moonflower,
Seductive white petals,
Reflecting her beauty,
Blooming in midnight skies,
Intoxicating fragrance,
Sweet smells elude!
Calling her lovers,
With irresistible temptation,
“Lay down my darling” 
Ride through your imagination,
Open heaven’s door,
Listen to her scented poem!
Singing nature’s music,
“Who can resist my affection?”
Dreams of narcotic love.

Under the willow tree I sit breathing the fairies breath of absinthe
Mid July they come for me
My Dreams are spun in spider silk
Moonflower and moth wings to clothe my foxglove heart
I watch the sky spill her stars
I'll blow a kiss to them and see them scatter across the midnight veil 
I am held in the cradle of the Earth
Softly, softly
The moon a silver sliver on my pillow
He tastes of the sweetness of dew

The moon won’t rise.
Unless lady gravity is holding her
Moonflower that’s still, shining bright.
Silver steps silver gown.
Spiraling up to the stars above the ground. 
A heart she really cares.
Every night she illumes our light everywhere. 
She does not mind time after time. 
Walking countless steps so we can have nightlight.
Be grateful of our lady of light of the night. 
With out her we would be blind at night time....

           Silvered-dew moonlight.
           Her eyes, sparkle in its light.
           Secrets of the night.


           Eyelashes flashing.
           Her love moonflower, missing.
           She seeks his kissing.


           Silvered-dew moonlight.
           Loving moonflowers, delight.
           Sighing in the night.

From twilight’s train, my lover’s grace,
      In whispered song of shadowed pearl,
        Just out of reach, her lumened face. 
      From twilight’s train, my lover’s grace,
          Now opened  for a cool embrace;
      With dawn’s encroach, an inward twirl.
      From twilight’s train, my lover’s grace,
      In whispered song of shadowed pearl.

Ipomoea Muricata – Also known as “moonflower”
     blooms at night and closes with the dawn
