Oh, my wondrous winter rose!
I live to see you bloom in all your charming chilling grace.
Awaiting your pearly presence to embellish my arctic stance stilled in mystic motion,
where my frosted saccharine soul craves only your ethereal embrace to cast a spell of life.
Although distance divulges myriad of yearnings in vacant vermillion veins,
yet I am willing to weave scintillating seconds in a rosary of tears upon my eyelashes,
till I see you glistening at the edge of every silver splashed storm.
I long to press velvety warmth to your glacial glazed petals with my devoted touch,
as I know how I can comfort pink pastels present somewhere deep in your snow-kissed soul.
Lost and found in each other's gaze,
you and I would tango upon twilight tinted tundras for winters to come.
I dream of us together wrapped under the blanket of icy indigo nights,
where our jasmine scented saga would hymn in our rhyming dewy breaths pouring in majestic monophony.

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

Brilliant brushstrokes of a masterly mind,
golden glimmers of a scarlet sunset emerge
glinting glorious gossamer glow...
viewing vermillion twilight poignant portrait
etch enchanting serene solitude,
peaceful Palms sparkle tender tranquility...
opalescent ocean inspires bliss.

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

Hair
a deep vermillion
with just a hint of orange
reaching almost to her waist
such shiny waves and curls
'twas the envy of other girls
but often they would call her names
their jealousy knew no bounds
it made her cry
she wondered why
her locks of deep vermillion
with just a hint of orange
instilled such hate from many
but despite the names they called her
she rose above these bullies
her deep vermillion hair of red
her crowning glory
she turned his head
now all grown up and so in love
with babies of their own
not one
not two
but three
and all with
hair a deep vermillion
with just a hint of orange
reaching almost to their waist
they love their shiny waves and curls
despite the envy of other girls...

Scarlet dawn’s amethyst dye engraves vermillion sky
Embossing amber dreams upon nightmares of night
Blushing rosily on ruby arc, glinting mountains high
While reddish filaments woven in lavender float by
Scintillating morn in golden glimmers of daylight
Scarlet dawn’s amethyst dye engraves vermillion sky
Autumn’s crimson leaves fall, rustling languid sigh
As daybreak adorns lilac in brushstrokes of delight
Blushing rosily on ruby arc, glinting mountains high
Where dreary dull dissipates as cliffs of hills beautify
And awed eyes are drawn to eagle’s majestic flight
Scarlet dawn’s amethyst dye engraves vermillion sky
Enticed by sparrow’s quest when robins trills a reply
Enriching brilliance of aura, motifs in mauve excite
Blushing rosily on ruby arc, glinting mountains high
When panoramic passions of fall endearing vibes vie
Embroidered in patterns floating on iridescent sight
Scarlet dawn’s amethyst dye engraves vermillion sky
Blushing rosily on ruby arc, glinting mountains high

Firm are those the vines that entrap mine heart;
So valiant are those champions that do so impart;
On a voyage of truths that seek and speak so darkest light;
In seclusion running forth evading so the toothless vampire blight;
Normal human remains so distain visit unawares;
Demons and Dragons and vagabond soldiers stare:
Equating debating vibrant untrusting realities:
Yet instilled he gums his victim sucks blood from vein carnalities;
Death rest its allure on the hillsides and impart valley peak;
Vermillion is the blood color so brilliant as it spills and drills down her neck;

Dreams are nocturnal flowers, blooming when the sun has strayed far enough that we can see clearly. ~Terri Guillemets
Vermillion raindrops
By the millions
Falling around me
Like a cotillion of lovers
Vying for a favor,
While the insolent villain,
Oft seen in midnight dreams,
Watches from the shadows,
Flashes his deep Castilian smile,
And beguiled I run to him.

The Sun, the Earth, the Sky
And the birds come to fly,
Their wings wrapped with golden feathers
Kiss the white clouds and the mere blue sky.
The sky stands alone
A lone traveller, who covers the whole of Earth.
White fluffy clouds are its ornaments
While the Sun is its vermillion spot!
Stands the green mountains,
Giving it the huge green attire.
And the birds come to fly...
Brown and hard and fertile
Is the Earth,
Where one can find a variety of life,
Wriggles a worm deep beneath
Stamps an elephant on its sheet,
Jumps the kangaroo over the plains
And feasts the lion on the meat!
And, here comes the farmer
Tilling the layers of ancient survival,
Grows potatoes, beans and pumpkins
This is the sweet Earth where we all lie.
The Sun with its radiant look,
Provides light to read a book
Vitamins to survive
And the perfect evening scenarios...
Where the Sun meets the horizon
And changes from blue to yellow to orange
And a dark night full of fireflies.
And then, the owl hoots
From the tree branch,
The dark night full of pride
Whistles to the wind,
And the trees behind
The trees behind, the trees behind!

Color clings to the trees and won't let go,
though Winter has sent an early flurry.
And crimson canopies shake off the snow,
reassuring Autumn not to worry.
Jack Frost's fire excels in setting the trees
ablaze in scarlet and vermillion flames.
And though some snowflakes commandeered a breeze,
Winter's not earned the victory, She claims.
And as the snowflakes swiftly melt away,
Fall's breathtaking scenery gets restored.
And for all those wishing the snow would stay,
Winter's fun, but Autumn won't be ignored.
Brisk breezes bathe in showers of dead leaves,
and migrating geese honk as Autumn leaves.

VERMIlLION AUTUMN
Autumn enchants reddening ambient
Vermillion blush: Shiny salient
Fall adorns Nature in scarlet brightness.
Glossy glistening sure to impress.
Frolic flush in fiery flame
Dry leaves leave as tender buds claim.
Crimson caress on flora and foliage
Lovely luster in ruddy camouflage.
Vermillion Autumn in glorious glow.
Super star season’s cardinal show.

VERMILLION AUTUMN
What is autumn to be, what it is to me;
The distance from the sun the earth is to be;
Nutrient not contained far beyond the universe;
Grasses, shrubs and trees losing nutriments;
Like blood leaving from your arms and hands runs;
Leaves losing colors, changing from green to orange, yellow browns;
Alas, tis be a vermillion autumn;
Where the orange, scarlet, crimson;
Bright red scarlet leaves ambers of coral gold ochre chartreuse colors autumn;
Colors running off brilliants hue photoperiodism senescences bottom;

Crunching through woodland the senses revive
From fresh pine to birdsong the soul feels alive.
Squirrels make haste to stack winter supplies
As amber-winged swallows soar up to the skies.
With persimmon sunsets the sky is suffused
And trees boast their bronze, gold and fiery-red hues.
The full harvest moon beams a warm orange glow
And winks at the smiling plump pumpkins below.
Even Matisse with his palette so bold
Would gaze on in awe to watch autumn unfold.
