A mind needs a palatial garden
To liberate in spontaneous combustion
Creative juices rippling the nerves in shock
Senses being overloaded in pleasure

Exhilarated euphoria in aromatic excitement
Winds of thundering passion rolling in waves
Of remote seaside tranquility
Isolated flowering independence
Opening up like peacocks with rainbow feathers

Creating the hypnotic trances of tantalization
On trips within delirious intoxication
Delicious moisture of delicate wines
Taking you higher than possible

As the clouds descend within
In exhausted melancholy
In somber tranquility
Wrapping up the gift inside
Of a blanket of love

Hibernating for a chance to break free
For a flight of vagabondism within another time
Into a new world of illumination
In a universe of never ending landscapes

This HAS to be read aloud, and every word savored...it makes the mouth happy, and the mind, mellow...

Thank you all I am blessed with your comments that settle in me with pride. I work so much and have so little time that I interupt sleep to dash to a keyboard with a thought. I am truly blessed to have friends who like my work.

In my weakness of today my strength for tomorrow will soar with my mistakes, cultivating the seeds in the moisture of tears of pain, blossoming in great detail.

Sorry to end this it just turned into more tha a thought. What a crazed mind I have!
