Invidious verdancy, a violaceous poison,
Stains sanguine accord,
Casting elongated shadows,
Across the geopolitical terrain.
Amor Mio respect the ethos of my heart
honor the flowers that I grow in full bloom
Like violets from Napoleon Bonaparte
I'm your Josephine, go tender to exhume
Amor Mio taste and be heart of my heart
let the dew drops fall afresh on April blooms
See the purple petals turn to deep-dish swart
violaceous hues of me you just can't thwart!
Fate, love, and coffee
turned into substitutable
with reminiscences,
Striving to be free from
cacophonous relics gifted
by your poisonous love
will my violaceous lyrics
mend my wounds, I urge you
a hundredfold of which you
allow no response,
I hold a bleeding soul, but you spurn
degrading you detects me though,
however, we can still endure any spell.
Violaceous lulling bell
Enchantment be thou spell
Prodigious tortile entwine
Weathered be thy vine
Solstice utmost fair
Lay waste to arctic air
Embedded mossy root
Colossal venue afoot
Keeper of florid bliss
Ambrosia ne’er remiss
Petals supple blush
Lavish wisteria lush
Wispy balsam waft
Caress be e'er soft
Atop verdant bough
Tender be thy sough
Walking through magenta meadows,
Where Sunshine spews its special spice…
Sipping wedded wine in twilight realms,
Chasing distilled dreams upon our grasp.
Watching the mulberry seeds come to fruit,
Holding hands amidst refreshing rosette petals…
Vaporous Venus aromas steal the ambient air,
Kaleidoscopic kisses kindle the nestled night.
Violaceous visions crossing blue-violet beams,
Sensual sensations seducing the blushing bride…
For these are the days of wine and roses,
Beneath crimson covers of amethyst surround.

Lilac’s Locus
Clouds in contrast,
as night fades...
Hidden in the shadow-dark, underfoot -
astride the windblown crinkle-leaf of
a season ago, a violaceous crocus begins to dream
of the end of the dream-
time
and the skybowl (soon!) of light.
Cut through the indigo,
a black-fletched line;
one single goose.
Now two.
Lemon meringue sweet-laughter-light
fills shadows cerulean blue.
Café de Flore’s summer hot night
where dreams tangerine rendezvous.
Six strings strumming lavender notes
tones, violaceous lilac lace,
heartbeats' delicate music floats
on fanciful lilts ears embrace.
Conversation thrills with saffron!
Hints, amorous in coral blushed sheen,
lashes flirt, lush fluttered chiffon;
intentions are aquamarine.
French liqueur sipped, yellow chartreuse,
City of Light, summer hot bliss.
Inner glow - inhibitions loose,
watermelon lust; wet French kiss!
Violaceous twilights,
clandestinely sated
lavished 'til morn's early blush
midst honey suckled euphoria,
poetry hidden 'neath
silken pillowcases,
written 'tween the dew
of rendezvous'
blissed arousal
evermore eagerly breathless,
reawakening intentions
aloft the vast obscurity of
a wistfully surrendered sunset
