Redolent reverie
Rain-soaked in raspberry 
Roses most delicate
Runes woven from star seeds
Refulgent petals swirl 
Russet thorns of my heart
Regrets etched in kohl quartz...

Romantic, love inspired, 
Redolent with perfume.
Reach out, touch the petals,
Reveling in velvet
Rapture. Brilliant hues of
Rainbow shades so varied.
Remember, they have thorns....

in gold glazed heady sunshine
scent songs are searching

millions of blossoms
fluttering freshness like spring
wave goodbye to clouds

nice noon has gone still
sweet lifetime wears a big smile
wanton butterflies...

The
River
Lucid dreams
Recreate heaven
With redolent neroli scent
Gasping for a love breath to saciate burning desires
Embracing without restriction the ardent passion that stir two souls to kiss sweetly

brilliance bona fide in redolent skies
keen red submerging, clementine twilight
sunflowers show-offs of the waning sun
wedged within burnt orange escarpments
swifts of volcanic horizon in desert crags
old West crush corralled in surround-hugs

Unzipping an overripe banana,
fingers squished into redolent shush,
black skin dripping off the soft stem.

I might have to eat this with a spoon,
a banana is a berry,
I think of this
as I wipe sticky lips,
and taste that time-sweetened wine....

Harbingers...
   Bucolic Sounds...
     Efflorescence in Abundance...
       Petrichors of late Summer,
         Redolent of Propinquity to Creation,
       Erstwhile Demesne of God. 
     An Ephemeral Dalliance,
   Serendipitous Timing...
 EPIPHANY !...

It begins inside
with the refusal to be
a machine.

It begins inside
with the refusal to recognize
the beat you play.

It begins with a frown. And a shrug.

And a turning away
To a voice
kinder and sweeter
than the
rasping rattling, redolent 
of your empty threats....

redolent roses
just steps away from moonlight
in shadows of night

invisible bliss
colors unseen on the green
as flashing stars roam

romantic spiced scents
the shouts have become whispers
pink robin's dreaming

endless velvet night
lazier than the day, and
black cherry sunset...

Aromatic breezes come by way of the neighborhood bakery
Scents of pastry and cookies, decadent in every little whiff
The many styles of rolls, cooking, send smells like no other
While tempting, redolent chocolate and vanilla air moves me
Alas, I am sadly without money on this breezy morning...

Who knows what or who
Has decided to
Inhale and exhale
Sweet
Perfume
Exquisitely 
Redolent

Infusing and bathing
Nestling and caressing 

The world full of flowers
How wonderful that
Each and every Spring
Whoever or whatever whispers
Intoxicating scents
Never seems to
Disappear...

redolent flower
brushed in light of white rosebud
tears on soft petals

with sips of champagne
she spoons down the poem
in bits and pieces
leaving something of herself
unfettered between the lines

requesting a song
blending in with sounds of night
sonata drifting

Self contained, keep outside out
Thrive inside, never fear a drought
Rely on no-one as have world of mine
Myself, I must, keep safe, enshrine

Bottle garden, encapsulated beauty held
Gaze within, all other thoughts expelled
With petrichor a constant state
Redolent of missing fate...

If once a flower stood in heaven's light,
fair petals, windswept, tending toward the dawn,
If ever vim exhaled from violet night,
redolent of her vigor, curtains drawn,
As meditative falls hum nature's rite,
so rapturous as queen unto her pawn,
To see fair love as certain in the heart,
I beseech you, heaven, may this be a start....

Make hay!
Meant the macaw's epiphany
Coming in propinquity of the demesne
Pondering the erstwhile efflorescence of dalliance, she chirped
The bucolic redolent was everywhere, smelling petrichor in the air
This land is her home, she whistled with serenpidity
Harbinger of ephemeral life, she chattered: 
While the sun shines,
Make hay!...

The cascading flicker of your smile,
caressed by spring’s jasmine zephyr,
lights up my gloomy vista.   
The bud waiting long in desolation,
unfurls your redolent visage,
the petals spread the yearning scent for me.

A fox crossed my path in the woods today
  Trotting briskly on a leafy pathway
Of a sudden he jammed on his hind brakes
  Sniffed air redolent of felled trees and clear lakes

I imagine he determined I wasn't a threat
  The fox darted off; I broke out in a sweat...
Put my trusty wheelchair in gear in reverse
  Rolled my way home, composing this verse...
