Lit by setting sun’s orange glow
Her sundry stories form peaks
French Vanilla ice cream cone

Lacking contrast
Reflecting warm hues
Like a snow castle
Or a peach parfait
Resting on an alluvial fan
Bounded by modern ugliness
Testament to gentility

End of an endless crazy day,
Driving past, slow parade of cars
Daydreams delving to romance

Gorging on gourmand fodder
Crisp chilled wine waiting
In our charming chambers
Lilacs in a country vase
Delightful discoveries develop
Unfurling fabrics fall
You, a present of pleasure

What surprises life bestows
Friends for forever
Now new-found lovers

Singularly strange
Familiar yet unnamed
Wholly sincere, clear
Preordained perhaps
Celestial heavens joyously
Sprinkled enchantment
Stardust of gazingstock

Daybreak dawns
Sapphire sagacity
We may have always known

But time finally lifted us
To parallel planes
