Each like China in their hands
Porcelain passion

Watercolor sketch
Of a dogwood flower on
Your sun-kissed shoulder
Sangria toned, calls my lips
Regret turns sweetness bitter

Red and white or pink and yellow too,
Orange, purple, two toned - even blue,
Scented petals, fragrant and divine:
Ev’ry rose was plucked to make her mine....

chilling breeze of swift Autumn leaves
                    
                through a misty toned Lavender path

                 Feeling closer to Heaven and Earth...

With my new shoes, I walk down the street.
You must admit that this pair looks neat.
They’re great together
in two toned leather
However, they are killing my feet....

Show me a suit that fits comfortably
      Underneath is a body toned to a 'T'

   Covering up God's imperfection determinedly
      The rest of us stew in silent agony...

The BritBox show Karen Pirie
has good characters, nice scenery.
The sleuthing’s hardcore,
toned down on the gore,
hitting all the right notes for me.

Colours dull 
Colours bright 
Pastel, bland 
From anything to white. 

Shaded 
Faded 
Toned and fresh 
Colours impress. 

Open eyes, colours there 
Turn 360, their everywhere....

Ah! So greets two pairs of earthy toned eyes,  
Four arms extending towards warm embrace, 
Four lips kissing, a collarbone pecked; Sighs!  
Sparks ignite flames in this familiar place....

The peace within me sings
soft toned lullabies of mauve and
pink dreams where I dance
all through the night til sunrise...
I am wrapped in serenades of love
and champagne kisses.

visions of himself
a life of broken fragments
palette toned sepia.

a sense of menace
depresses anticlimax
master of his moods.

he realizes
not all quests are quixotic
some are doomed to fail....

I fly and fly and fly
I fly for the tops to the ups
I fly silently without any cry
I fly today, tomorrow I'll claw and try
for the wet toned smell in dirty carry
I fly to carry the back 
To testify the black....

genetic mutations
two toned faces of
true hermaphrodites
claws at the end of the trap
cannibalistic rituals
guiding the souls to the 
living descendants
shedding shells pheromones
copulins controls male

An incomplete spring
Paired with incoming summer
Rears rare-bloom bluebells
Idyll of dual-toned skies
Like unison of twain lives

Love, the irrepressible
Unflinching, undeterred.
In a lost toned request for aid
What is manly answered.

Brunting iced gales, though blindly
Though dipping at the head
An old boat, steered but of one!
"Ahead!" screams on "ahead!"...

A Venus shape, the Men go Ape:
tender, slender, svelte!
So toned and taut, her treasure sought-
by far, the best they've felt! 
Inviting lips, come hither hips, 
her silhouette in waif.
Vixen curves and kitten purrs... 
no male, of course, is safe....

Yet each tuning fork
Will only reverberate
To like toned individuals

Round faces
Rejoice
In their own presence

Alone
Succumb to the duality
Embrace nothingness

As waves break
Oceans 
Become grains of sand

Wildflower in bloom.

Mercurial swoon.

Under mid summer's moon.

Lunar contrast.

On earth toned skin.

Painted us azure.

As souls stirred within.

We owned it.

If only for that moment.

Lamented in time.

As life follows no design....

Velvet toned
Air...silken wonder
She played
upon a stone throne

Jeweled by sea and sun

frolicking from one foot to the other
Thier hands always touching

a sacred reverence

Little was known 
of later's
dark resignation
in those days of white...
