A spell is cast in gilded glass
and marble parquet..........
Enchanted mirrors line the walls
..........but only one is hers
Grey eyes study the room
in search of magic..........
segment of the sun
lemandarin, semi-black
‘midst toasty branches
floats flamingos, flaming pink
in lagoon’s brackish parquet
*hybrid between mandarin orange and lemon
Boots with attitude
Tromped into the marketplace
Chopping up parquet floors
Approaching me
Stomping closer and closer
I backed away
Terrified of this woman
It takes super confidence to wear boots like this
And these boots are not just made for walk’n.
At dusky dawn
a scamper of paws
resounds on parquet
and marbled halls.
The Obermeier tinkles
ancient ivory vibrates
in a concerto
of feline chords.
Soprano meows contend
with the garden quartet
of iridescent birds
rapt joyously
in kingly melodies.
She lays on fine velveteen sheath
a body wrapped in the delicate
texture of malleable night –
With fondled taps, he pulls
her toward him spilling desire
all over womanly contours -
building up motions -- then to both sigh
upon love’s parquet floor.

THREADS OF DECEIT
The puppet flexes with threads of gold,
the hobby of his mistress to sew.
His wife kneels on impenitent boards, parquet cold.
The puppet flexes with threads of gold.
Scurrying out, floorboards creaking and bold,
he’s grown a larger nose, than the man she once knew.
The puppet flexes with threads of gold
The hobby of his mistress to sew

The last of us
meander in rolling hills
by the misty stream
tinkling round slate rocks.
A doll size cottage
hewn of ancient limestone
silhouetted in rainbow flares
creeks and rumbles forlorn.
Withered lace murmurs languid
framed by dark embrasures.
We enter the void
over a parquet threshold
to greet mirrored visions
in ever rewinding portals
that unveil the stories
of our dreams unlived.
Far from harsh reality
Of cruel peasant life
Gilded surroundings
Of smooth parquet floors
Damask-lined walls
Crystal chandeliers
The background music of
Imperial fountains
Soothed the nobility at Peterhof
St. Peterburg's bow to Versailles;
Carriages and troikas
Moved elegantly, smartly
Conveying crowned heads
Seeking favor from the tsar
In a great hall now guarded
By old Russian babas
Nodding, fighting sleep
As they glare at the tourists.
Climbing from her escapism's, evanescent pool; love's predicate...
Figure skating of dreams, infinite; timeless, Hollywood's paper doll ?
Fete fete's parquet circles; abstract evolutions ex de facto; abtruse comets
Her beauty's evening star ? An epoch; fantasia's zephyr winds; parabolic these doors
Celestial's sphere sunset's skies; axioms ignis fatuus ? Fandom's fluttering wings..
Spawned their pure white dove; solitary, blue canopy her flight ? Carte blanche scarlet, tears.
Form:
Now my posh palette is laid waste.
Winter, winding its way to fore,
lays its whiteness at my front door.
Vivid colors become murky paste
and lose their hue with rash haste.
My parquet is covered with hoar.
