Late sun
slips quiet between dusky satin sheets
whilst heady perfumes
of sweet, balmy bouquets hang
in the blue laced veils of twilight’s tranquillity.
Beneath
Shimmering, star scattered indigo blankets
dragonfly closes his silken wings
on soft sleepy heads as a
drowsy breeze whispers in calm, contented sighs.
Iridescent
in starlit glow are pretty profusions,
pearly pink clusters in peaceful repose,
silent and secretive , little heads
caressed as they sleep by stardust.
The serenity
of moonlight meanders through darkness,
kissing flowers furled in their own fragility,
fragrant and fascinating
yet to be born into the light of life.
Dawn’s dew
delicately showers an awakening,
blossom forgets sensuous rose blushed dreams
as grassy banks quiver and blink
when tantalizing breezes blow and tease.
Morning spills
Soft dappled sunshine on upturned faces,
petals spread in kindness for butterflies
to stretch and suckle, as maiden buds
burst in poetic promise of a delightful day.
