tropical heaven,
screaming blood red color
oh! what shapes intoxicate this
burglary of my soul...
by
oriental voodoo,
hissing splendid bronze
bewilderment
advances the brow of twilight
contours
of this woman’s mind...

something
answered
by unbolting doors
of the little eyes
the little clouds
with keepsake stories
between
yawns of happiness
& a good cigar

sojourn truth
like self professed works of art
twinkles of humor
apertures stumbling forward
with dexterity...& grace
beyond room shadows
a spiritualistic sphere arranged
where rhythmic movements
sway in tree tops
like will-o-the wisps
rocking conversations
undertones
visions growing
pure magik nature
lives in manners of reverse
simple swelling
    in fiery hieroglyphics
upon the roofs of feelings
staring back
like penetrating eyes
of instinct
where men
believe in God

what was that?
Oh moans oh tears…
am i that last sheet of paper?
no more probable
then a mere
confessional
of some conservatory
far beyond
a calculated angle
that reaches a heart?

i wonder
if
if
extraordinary things are seen
only by madness & also in dreams
they say, artists
are a different breed
standing with loud pearls
of watercolored bouquets
where tropical heavens
scream
holding an audience of
blood red color's embrace

of purple rose orchids
in poppy field gardens
So original!
So ornate!
So like
narative palm trees waving,
words only stars can hear
in the eve of thoughts
Running round dreams

my first passion flower of the season has opened this morning...by nightfall it will close again...I was so happy this was waiting for me upon leaving for work, so I was able to bring it in and share it's beauty with my cohorts....

That is a beautful flower.  I liked the abstract construct of the poem.  Thanks for sharing.

Lee,

   It's good to see you still hanging around these parts.  I've been away for a while and have missed everyone.  It's good to read your writing again.  Love how your use imagery!  So many I could have copied!

between
the yawns of happiness
& a good cigar
sojourn truth
like a self professed work of art

and

where rhythmic movements
sway in tree tops
like will-o-the wisps
rocking conversations
undertones…visions growing
pure magik nature
lives in manners of reverse
simple swelling
in fiery hieroglyphics
upon the roofs of feelings
staring back, like penetrating eyes
of instinct, where men believe in God

and then...

seems like I should have copied the whole poem!   You have such creativity at your fingertips!  Enjoyed!
