stand before October wind,
wait for vermillion
leaves to fall once again as
we jump in with joyful glee!...

brilliant red maple tree
with her vibrant leaf flames
she gives me pause
her scarlets are as onfire as cinnabar
reminding me of sun fire and blood
I love her...

Vermillion butterflies of light  
cathedral thoughts their aim   
as they race towards
a splintered ray, they reign       
as Sceptres of love, 
for flowers immersed in rain...

Cumulus clouds skate along the troposphere
ivory braids of cotton drifting in their wake
vermillion swans infuse as pristine lips
take the shape of minutes
as we mount the pillars of time...

clarifies remembered freshness for her aching heart
she takes out her vermillion hat with the bluebirds

colors of pumpkin, 
vermillion and deep gold---
    veiled mysteries air

branches intertwine
in a sea of canopies---
    harvest moon rises

gilded by the dawn
and swayed by a seasoned wind---
    shades of art abound...

Love
is like lively rivulets 
meandering through
valleys and meadows
merging into the sea,
like myriad stars
illuminating the heavens
dazzling the firmament

(I)
I quaff your
vermillion quintessence,
the scarlet blood
untangling
snarls of
my weathered epidermis,

(II)
I toss
my life towards
resurrection’s
open bosom,
cavorting atop
the rippling
waves of
Christ’s shores...

on a still dawn day 
black sky opens a vermillion eye 
     changing hue to intense fuchsia 
          then deepest gold
before being pushed aside 
      by the dilating iris of white gold sun

One droplet 
following another
on windowpane
crying
anemic light
ushering in
fall’s open door
to wonder
vermillion of swords
in triumph
splendor of life
in cycle
morsels on pits
to winter on
mind’s teeth
at the classroom
banquet....

Superb
Moulanic entertainment
rouge by colour a red
the colour of lust
similar vermillion crimson or scarlet 
a bawdy well loved lost old dance
high kicking girls a screaming yelp
knock your hat off 
flying jumping splits
and split crotch knickers...

Vigorous, plentiful
vines, diligently pruned
venture trained upon wire,
vast leaves cropped for dolmas.
Valued for complex taste,
vermillion morsels make
vintage wine with patience.

Sunset


Spectacular colors,
scarlet and vermillion
surround a yellowish
sun, as it begins to
slowly, steadily, slip
silently from sight, and
sinks into ebony.

A Bouquet

Astute; beautiful Chrysanthemums
Decadent earthly Foxglove
Gentle hands; immaculate
Judging Kaffir Lilies
Miniature noises orchestrated
Pretty; quiet Rudbeckia
Shocking trellises; ultimatums
Vermillion wonderful; extravagant
Young Zenobia...

I grieve bloodstains upon your heart
I bleed out red dread of angsty art
Angry as a shark of envy…
Seeking prey viciously
In love with catastrophe
Grief-stricken drastically…
Paint your skies red wine, exceedingly RED
Toiling, vermillion souls fed upon it instead...

Kiss
The ecstasy of extreme joy attained,
When two throbbing hearts beat,
The pinnacle of unconditional love gained,
When two warm lips meet,
That’s a kiss which is never to be missed.

smooth jazz just sizzles
totally loving hot sax tones
that dance on the streets


soul saxophone spirit
gold and shining with such pride
musician of mine


notes fly to the moon
escape this earth in vermillion
rainbow gratitunes

Volcanos split the earth
Venting the heat within,
Vaulting upwards at rim.
Vermillion-burnt magma
Vrooms the molten lava-
Vailing, melting all paths;
Verily, countless deaths.

CHILD

A child
is an innocent replica
of God's creation of mankind
a splendid rendition of beauty
a near perfect example of love
A child brings great joy
preceded by gales of laughter
Thank you Lord for my child
