I fly across a lively splendid hallway over to the cross side.
Stirringly, my body is as yet stored on the acrid, cold ground.
My weights are lowered, relieving a large burden off my gear.
Alike a shouting newborn, entirely bare and defenseless.

summer scent of roses loosens grips of gloom
floral cups of red charm capture healing,
melt defenses
she inhales a held bouquet
ensnared romantically,
one couple's free fall to love
in a fragrance courting worship
its aroma of lushness
immodest crimson flames, born on long stems
she bypasses thorns, the cutting traces of pain
cultivates blooms
the crisp red blush of summer
that soothes corrosive woe
to soften her restless sway, misgivings
what shimmers in a garden?
scents seductive
enticing her
stirringly brief
an atmospheric wonder
as secrets slide away

When the author of forever sang
his serenade,
‘twas longing in a virgin’s heart,
the strings he played.
So liltingly and stirringly
did words cascade,
they conjured scent of rose bouquets
in serenade.
Of everlasting love he crooned
in serenade.
Bliss never is inopportune.
His lure was laid.
As sweet refrains flowed through her veins,
the vow he made
was happiness without an end
in serenade.
Upon the troubadour who sang
the serenade,
she smiled, led him by the hand
to grassy glade.
And there beneath a blushing sky,
beguiled maid
succumbed with heady soul that rang
with serenade.
The author of forever, who
croons serenades,
woos the maids, then into the
horizon fades.
His lyrics penned are fiction; he’ll
be not delayed
from moving on, oh vagrant bard
of serenade.

Errant hounds capriciously bustle in an exceptional position near some forsaken backwatered millpond during some quietude noontime dismal conclusion concerning the game,
Per some dense overgrowth forward furnishes an exquisite refuge over the stalked moreover the superfluous breathing of one well-earned evanescent freedom comprise paid via the pursuers prevailing pattern during this auspicious consequence,
Preeminent preyed scampers incessantly before optimism regarding its autonomy of a choice pursuit that endures stirringly as an affirmed conclusion achieves its goal amidst a unique resonance due upon by a fatal singular blast.
In the end, the right to life and the right to survive is the name of the game.

Secret.
Lips sealed.
Necking stirringly - hush.
Shadow of a doubt.
Decoy.

As the snowdrops nod happily when you kissed my soul warmly love
laughing in the cold spring air so stirringly beautiful flutters wings of a dove
The daffodils yawn awakening to new life or so it seems
sun beams smile inside a thousand songs sweetly my dream
Birds singing freely dawning tunes deep heartfelt desire
you are amazing one faraway flame kissing beats on fire

Rumbling collision of vapour,
The dancing ritual the increased
caper, acts of earthly vigil,
autonomously the same above, the
cosmic storm fitted quietly upon the
pupil, all fractions and pixelled
evolving minerals, blinking gold-
laden crystal, the workshop of clarity
, the milk and oil contrast reality, the
true light festering among the
counter core of creation, giving
place to life just a sound a musical
note, manifested 'this' into being as
perceived, contrived through it and
believing, if you lose meaning that's
the mind retreating from the
anarchy peace your seeking, soul
stirringly appealing, jump out from
the blocks of inner vision and into
the springs of new dimensions,
sinking illusions finger tipped grasp
at perfection, not a lonely road but
one of anguish and sorrow, dying
today searching for tomorrow, then
your begin to understand nature's
complaint, and nature's reason for
acts of terror and charges of treason

Stone arched mansion corridors

Hounds skittering on marble slate
Clinging intoxicating rose perfume
Stirringly beautiful graceful redhead
