In the still,
We saw only the leaves, the paper of petals, moving.
Yet, all for all, were humbled;
Moved.

"Never knock upon my door!"
Only unwelcome visitors, and death, do that.
Left ajar, let me greet you,
from within.

Morning quietude rules the glade,
butterflies, thousands are on ground,
spread out colored sprouts-
avidly seeking salt of the earth.

What keeps their ball still rolling?
her innuendos he grapples with,
his enthusiasm she can't fathom,
*ambiguity does the trick!

Irresistible in combat uniform,
the officer act tough, verifying ID,
But her soft eyes, seeking mine,
apologize, how feminine!

The gathering  slowly disperses
bringing in view,
*the lone woman
standing regally at the center.

A wild flower,
two competing humming birds;
*she awaits for
her suitable suitor.

The red rosebud, bitterly wept,
and said" I am full of guilt
          I don't want
                   to bloom at all"
Delusion, what else, I thought

In an attempt to paint,
a self portrait perfect,
*I see her colors and fingerprints,
all over my canvas.

Hammering-out stammerings
while the morning's grown colder.
Burning through revisions
of the lines I should have told her.

Darkness, sing your song in quietness,
                         eulogizing departing light,
sad moon's silence,
                               and  your love affair with misty mountain heights.

Almost there, she went wild,
bit me  ******* my shoulder,
floodgates opened,
*we didn't anymore care,what we did!
