Fern branches dance gracefully
above water lilies in the night
along southern river banks
drift flowered petals.. creamy white

Secrets of the marshland
haunt raccoons as they sleep
the fragrance of magnolia
intoxicate shadows as they creep

Floral breezes within the marshes
vibrates the palmettos
the chorus within the leaves
singing shivers of vibrato

In the sanctuary of moonlight
Two lovers ..canoeing out of site




A poem is never finished, only abandoned.

Victoria.....
Ok, now you've gone and done it! This is so beautiful in it's images, that I am going to pack my suitcase and head on down there!!
I could use a few warm Southern nights, and that canoe doesn't sound too bad, either!!  


Follow your dream!
