Snuffling for truffles
Scenting morsels of delight
Delirious swine

Drowning in the oyster beds
Drunk on mysterious wine

Pastel color scheme;
Red, yellow, orange and more.
Flexible flower;
A living, pastel painting; 
roses scenting my back yard.

Warm
sunbeams
blazing down
flooding the lands
encouraging the flora to burst forth
in vibrant colour sweetly scenting
stirring senses
and passions
giving
hope...

Amish Sundown in the Hayfield


Heaven bright sunshine
slowly shadows 
the hand-knotted
bundles, scenting the air
with sweet blessings,
for a peaceful night.

      Floating blissfully alone in a moonlit, silvery repast.

      Scenting the night with her heady, fragrance of romance.

California Oranges


           scenting my backyard
           glorious orange skinned orbs
           shining in God's sun

While a lattice of gold asters sheds its dangled petals, 
I cringe against the intrusion from rainfall's unforgiving wind.
Through night's hush, moist blooms graze my arms scenting my quietude.

This siren sizzles from southern skies to sashay

sultry as summer’s sapphire sun, a  red of shade...

Her flamed skirt  spinning along , scenting  the  shoreline

As   September drips spritely of lovers' spiced spell!

Your eyes are like emerald
Your hair like that of silk
Lips red as roses
Your touch very electric
Kiss very stunning
Your hug real warm
Gracefulness like a pony
Your voice like a choir of angels
Smell like the radiance of sweet scenting flowers
Your skin fair like red clay
That is how you look my love...

He called the night air
Soft pads, she was there
Flashing eyes in joy greet
Alpha male now complete

Hunters moon doth guide
As pad and path confide
Fear rules, scenting air
Danger lurks, all is care

Forest home, gently stride
Stars above act as guide
King of all except for man
Histories lesson, avoid if can...

the subtle gaze…
is it just me scenting the lavender
and mind playing symphony?
why do i stutter while speaking
and my leg trembling anxiously?
oh is it the same for you
the waning pace of the clock?
zillions many questions,
not a single answer.
moments dilated to eternity.

yet
why does
rift befall
instantly?

Morning is blooming
chrysanthemum sighs
Rose petal kisses
on daffodil skies
Apricot petals
in tulip display
Jasmine aromas
to start out the day

Buttercup giggles
beneath maple trees
Gardenia melodies
scenting the breeze
Peach blossom whispers
of marigold hue
Happily saying
good morning to you

An emerald green, beveled glass holder,with four giant wicks.
Smiling, and scenting me with gardenia scented uplifting, floral magic!

It's nature's fond adieux to me, to me, in silvered gown to rest, nothing frenetic.
In the loving arms of the constellations, shimmering and touchingly them......sleeping, 'tis more than poetic!!

Softly flickering light
Amid vividly colored wax
Scenting the entire room
With a candle’s glowing fragrance
~
There are aromas of different kinds
Be they mulberry, vanilla or pine
Some of them seem alive
With their bright lights
~
I know of one smell that is leaves
Reminding me of fall and all
That the season enchants
With this Yankee candle

Sun scatters splendid splendors in utter silence
Flowers shed their pure fragrance without any aim
Never once they never trumpet their excellence
Real wisdom, real merits acquires great fame.

The moon maps her magic hue in silent midnight
Wind swept in melodious tone scenting surprise
Ever did they ever boost their mettlesome might?
Never fool can ever shine bruiting his own praise....

Sun lit Global pan fried soil 
Dubai desert in all distances mirage
A garden with full of flowers 
Isn’t a miracle?

Garden Miracle 
Butterflies taking wings to sky 
In the Butterfly garden 
Waving hi to all in Dubai

Hundred and fifty million flowers
Oder into noses in order 
Serving Dubai a scenting center 

Dubaian  like a mobile flower plant
Carrying fifty flowers per head...

shimmering frost masks
lingering plants and flowers
awaiting death’s grasp
~
silent deer prance close
avoiding the hunter’s bow
scenting through a fog
~
whispers of robins
flying away to the south
leaving colder lands
~
persistent leaves crunch
beneath booted footstep’s stride
capturing heartbeats
~
first glimpse of snowfall
warning hands to use mittens
feet to dance quickly...

Fishing the whole sea to catch a dish,
Dishing Christmas jewelry to end the year,
Year swing's by to feel my scent,
Scenting vanilla on the last days drowns my fear,
Fear for death keeps me praying,
Praying my strength out make's me living,
Living in sin stains my life dirty,
Dirty heart games keeps me a loser,
Loser pill sucks, finally making a new year resolution,
Resolution grant make the new day a bliss....

Stroll and listen to the trees whisper secrets,
So sad that the hearts have to mourn;
Stroll and taste the morning dew,
Sweet like honey and melts like mashmallows;
Stroll and  sniff the aroma of twilight,
Scenting like gentle perfume on her neck;
Stroll and see the flamboyant flowers,
Lavender, auburn and magenta glows;
Stroll and feel the pulse of silence,
A melody upon the palms of your hands.
Stroll till the Earth wanes....

A courteous curtain
Looked thready with fine silk
Scenting of my core
Which led linger rose in my mind
And with no fleeing ticks
But almost ding-dong devotes
Potent day and night
Shrouds,when I come in
Shields,when I come out
Dripping that cotton every moment
For not to streets cowslips
To steal me from her role
Let I vocal vomits vociferously
"Am I boastful beaming as her turban?
Oh,I love you courteous curtain
For vile of my days"...

Bite going into the ocean’s current 
savouring colours black & white 
scenting the salted breeze misting sparkle

Where the moon whispers with a delicate smile 
enchanting darkness with the glitter of starlight burning
where butter cups melt beneath petals of a thousand blooms

Before the eyes kneel where wolf whistling stars twinkle
loving all within a jewel sparkling diamond melting
held under there remains one mystery captured inside beauty...

Candles are lit
lightly scenting the room.
Fireplace glow
dispels all the gloom.

Its raining outside
with a pounding beat.
The cat is curled up
content on her seat.

There is much to love
about an Autumn day
even when its too wet 
to go out and play.

I am relaxed
with a book and cat's purring.
Outside may be storming,
in here nothing's stirring.

The only thing missing
on this wet, windy night
is someone to share it,
that is my plight....
