Rain-soaked in raspberry 
Roses most delicate
Runes woven from star seeds
Refulgent petals swirl 
Russet thorns of my heart
Regrets etched in kohl quartz...

raspberry exuberance
in early August's burning.
Now's when I miss you.
Soon alder leaves like hearts bleed
red, pass my window churning.

As much as an hot apple tart
But Jan is the judge
So give her a nudge
When the horse blows before the cart!

With lovely flavors like raspberry and toffee
     One year they made clear
     To remove all reindeer

My arms would be all scratched up by end of day
But raspberries are awesome – fruity and pure.
Thorns tore me up, but it was worth it for sure....

Your lips are of raspberry rose.
With skin of Amber, like GOLD.
BLACKEST waist deep TRESSES.
I will, for eons bathe in your benign beauty,
Most excellently EXALTED.
You are the relic that restores me....
