Double Delight
Roses, pink blush,
yellow tinged
In old fashioned
display
Among ivy and
quiet shade
Petals scattered among
the undergrowth
Perfume arousing
my thoughts
...of you
On a sunny afternoon
in June
Breathing deeply of
their timeless
message
Double Delight with
visions of you
Fountain of Light
A fountain of light, scattering
water droplets in precision
A thing of infinite beauty
Beyond the realm of ordinary
Symbol of love and life
Cascading jets of diamonds
In a late day light
Stark reality in the fountain
Black silhouette, a dreamy
diaspora, prayer to a message
Of peoples in migration
Guided by a fountain of light
To new places, new lives
Fragrant Roses
Roses, exquisitely
fragrant
Overpowering me in
the garden of love
Their secret delight,
delightful
Spinning in aromatic
pleasure
Breathing in deeply
of their complexity
Their scent of pleasure,
dreams of paradise
Dazzling, glistening
exotic petals in
sunbeam days
The pleasure everlasting
in my mind of
those roses
Fragrant roses to
soothe my soul
Fragrance to delight
my senses
Fragrant roses of love
