opals
found underground
their colors well cloaked
until the miners dig them out
when they are exposed to the daylight
they reveal a number of hues
which so dazzle the eye
magnificent
opals

flames
fiercely racing
through the bushland terrain
consuming all within their path
charred trees and houses bear testament
to their tirade of destruction
the landscape badly burnt
furious fire
flames

Construed,
by perception,
into acts of pure lust,
powered by emotions of pain,
mingled with a lonely heart now aching,
exceeding bare desperation,
all starting with deceit,
as her mind is,
construed.

true love
between a pair
shall remain so steadfast
for a lifetime two hearts melding
the sweet lasting refrain of blissfulness
unto joy's devotion they'll twine
twill be a grand union
endearing is
true love

accord
twill ever sing
as they join together
in a nectar dripping pairing
they've sought the treasure that closeness doth bring
their union aligns with the stars
love's sweet bounty trilling
in their profound
accord

Flowers,
seen in full bloom,
are pleasures to enjoy.
It’s from toil and endless labours,
that we receive our desired reward!
Even when fully occupied
with labourious chores,
still we enjoy
flowers.
