"ambrosia" poems
I, dip my fingers in your honey sweet sap. Steering your emotions with sensations of passion. Loathing the moments in between, with the patience of a feind; for the instant our flesh meet; then going far in between -- filling your blossom with seed, releasing you of your need. Embraced by your fragrance, entranced by the scent, of your bitter sweet, sweetness, both heaven sent -- dripping from my tip, the essence of your tenderness. entrenched by your loveliness.

Ambrosia.
His "I love you" came swiftly. Like the monsoon pouring down on a leaky roof Those three words broke through my defences. At first they were an ambrosia; They sustained my life and our relationship. At least for a short time. Then "I love you" became an excuse; For absences, and purpose-filled accidents. And I ignored the warning signs, the flashing lights. I pretended like "I love you" was enough... ...But it wasn't. His "I love you"s were like band-aids on bullet wounds; Like using play dough to fix cracks in concrete walls. But I rationed our good memories, I held on as tight as I could to our love And watched as it slipped through my fingers. His "I love you"s became poison, That seeped deep into my bones, And turned blue skies grey, And turned light into darkness, And slowly killed whatever semblance of love I fooled myself into thinking we had left.

His "I Love You"
I lay under the sheets, Undressed and yearning, Famished and waiting, For a taste of ambrosia. Knock knock knock! Come now and come in, Embrace your desire, And ravish my senses. Don’t tease me, I am at my peak, Mortally enraptured, By my physical form. Come lay beside me, Put your hands on me, Take me whole, I surrender in flesh. Caress my ******* Moisten my urges down, Hold me tight, And feel me now. Hold me down now, Watch me sizzle, With fierce intensity, Burn my passion out. I need your body, When mine takes over, Come in and take it all, Out ; when I simmer down. Come again when I desire, Hear my carnal call, I want you in me, A taste of ecstasy. I lay here now, Bare on the bed, Ceased by desire, Free me now. Restless feet bother, Kiss them and in between, Soften the bridges, So you may pass. Forward and backward, All leads to ecstasy, Touch me whole, Touch me now .

Carnal desires
~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ And so the Pu'erh and Jasmine Lily pearls are covered, my attention on the Phoenix Eye pearls, and I peel back the foil of a small handful. Ainhana had carefully remove the infuser and I pour in the pearls, listening as they gently hit the glass. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ As soon as Ainhana places the infuser back in the tea *** I turn the sand-dial and watch the cream sands run, and the pearls steep. I dare not let it run for the full five minutes - I find the perfect brew is made in three. The pearls now unfurl, the green leaves now floating. The clear water turns into the colour of the finest champagne. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ After three minutes, Ainhara pours me a cup, the aroma itself puts me more at ease. 'Do not waste it,' I tell her, holding the handle and saucer. 'Such fine pearls can be steeped twice, and I will make sure that I treasure every single cup.' 'Yes, My Lady,' She says with a curtsy. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ With my eyes closed, I blow away some steam and proceed to sip short and brief. It is a pleasure that is most welcome, indeed! Teeming with the fires of the Phoenix itself and caressing my tongue with floral sweetness. A delicious moan escapes me as I relax in my Summer Throne. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ My breathing is calmed as I look at the horizon with redolent eyes. The choirs sing as I drink such fine ambrosia! By a cup of Pearls, mine own eyes feel inspired, as I think of the lovely vision that is the Phoenix that is born of the lotus. Adieu, stresses of Court! Adieu, plagues of doubt and anger! Thy Queen is now jocund dove. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ 'Truly the finest Jasmine Pearls I've had in years!' I beam. 'Be sure to share this with my fellow Kings and Queens. Especially Queen Kim. In such a golden hour, we shall become Dream Children, to be lost in gardens of distant China.' 'Yes, My Queen.' Ainhara waves her hand, Semui and Ilazi now resume play. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ As I sip once again, the summer showers come. Lo! My gazebo glistens! Cleansed by the light, and life for my fields of my fair gardens. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ This blend cleanses the fire of my heart. This blend casts out sorrows for me to drink beauty. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ A  liquor the shade of champagne with the flames of life budding from a delicate flavour. ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ The Phoenix merges with me, for I am the star of the morn that graces my Aurelinaea! ~ ⚘ ⚪ ⚘ ~ Such a blend of elegance in my tongue, a heavenly euphony.

Clothed green and red outer layer protecting the golden treasure that lies beneath. Mango, ambrosia, fruit of the gods, placed down upon our earth for enlightenment. One bite such sweetness blasting away every taste bud, an explosion in the brain, turning us from human to pure animalistic joy. I love you mango .

Ode to the mango
I met her on a narrow street of old Verona Her beauty’s magical, her name was Lady Mona She rolled a cigarette between her diva fingers A little cherry smoke around her gently lingers She had a long deep fire-coloured autumn hair That with the wind dance as if out of very care Her eyes are brighter, gayer then azure sapphires Two little diamonds that can start unholy fires Her ******* are full of life, the sweetest goddess milk It taste like childhood memories wrapped up in silk The skin – an undiscovered lands of sinful wild It sends you on a trip so rough yet very mild She was so picturesque, a genuine sugarbomb Like rays of sun that dazzle through a naked palm I pray thee, Jupiter, align the heaven stars And let me be the one who strikes of her guitars Wish I could walk to her and ask her dearly out I feel so brave yet nervous, want to scream and shout I want to spill it out, express my inner passion But that’s not me behaving in such crazy fashion Hell to the no! I go! I’ll spit my fire lines! I am a blonde! I curse those stupid *** designs I’ll offer things to her, I promise I’ll pushy **** I am gonna offer her my cola ***** If men be ***** models, I shall be one too I have one in my mouth – a nasty point of view If men can flirt and conquer, so can ******* I This Aphrodite’s taken, she is only mine I walk to her, approach her like the mighty Taurus Rehearse my lyrics, shuffle through my love thesaurus I smell perfume – ambrosia, nectar, lemonade… Formation, hold up, queen of… ******* Lemonade..? “What is the name of thee, do tell me, pretty dear Just like the beauty goddess you to me appear By any chance you are one of the youthful Graces? Be careful, darling, I can see your leather laces”

Her scent was ambrosia on his lips, swimming within oceans hearing the waters calling. Waves gently lapped upon features. As the ripples settled, he could taste the essence of her, drowning in pleasure.

Tasting Upon Her Ocean Spray
Water nymph, you are the gentle wind  Bursting the daisy, your eyes, are bells  Of blue echinacea spiriting the light— Echoing sound which water makes, ring The laureled forest leaves in cathedrals Newly sprung of pews, meadows, spark, The dance of bees, who trace your honey Scent in combs of ambrosia and sunshine. The miraculous waters are floored under  Your white, lily petals of feet, your nests Of hair are embracing tendrils of the wild  Grape, wine and sweet, long forgetfulness. Maid of the wood, daughter to the moon; Are you of Elysium or temptress of doom?

Glistening golden cells Geometrically stacked Decanting crystalline ambrosia Sweet and sticky One step from the Sun Dripping, oozing from on high From its mathematic matrix Millimeter by millimeter Into my mouth

Honey
Today, I am gardening my life, I'll root out  worrisome weeds, Those thoughts that trouble me, Cast them aside, those I'd never need. I'll cut the grass of discontent, Layer it even, soft, green and sweet, Smoothen  the furrows, So I can run content, bare feet. I'll water seeds planted with love, Of friends made this year, Friendships that bloomed, That make life special, worth living and dear. I'll welcome butterflies, And make homes for nesting birds, With them, taste sun's ambrosia, Soar and see the world. I'll bask in the rainbow of colors, Of blossoms brilliant and bright, And keep them sheltered, When they sleep at night. I'll capture the scented essence, Of roses, jasmines and lilies Place them in a jar — As fragrant memories. I'll love, rest and spend more time, Under the shade of the family tree, Cherish every moment, every minute, Beneath its precious canopy. And I'll buy new saplings, Sow them all carefully in a row, Of hopes, promises to me and mine, And tend to them, make them grow.

Gardening
Clouds of ambrosia, food of the gods, Glow pink in this evening light— Sweet against a velvet blue; The sun burns the air in fiery orange, Deeply luminescent like hot metal, Iron cast ablaze. I stare at it in awe until my vision goes Spotted black and green, colors born anew With each dark Blink.

Staring at the Setting Sun
The seraph sky on ebony night, A white marble of placid light. Casting to the living glass, Haunting, the feeling's elapse. A time of gardenia drapes, Hanging the mourning wall. Scent of ambrosia fogging, The pavement covered in moss. Portraits of Celts amidst, Drifting upon moonlight mist. Eyes delving, ears opt to hear, Voices whisper of ancient fear. An oracle muses the unguided, As trees speaks the truth. Humanity strives to be the art, Yet only remembers by a few.

Dreams (an acrostic suffused with sibilance)
A garden of marigolds....orange, yellow and rust, Bright, soft and rich, touched with golden dust. Quiet and regal, sun kissed and fair, Basil -citrus fragrance that mellows the moist air. A thousand smiling marigolds, a thousand smiling suns, Sweet nectar, ambrosia, for natures gentle ones. Woven into garlands, yellow with tips of red, Woven into memories with many a words unsaid. Love's hopes of an Indian bride, clad in marigold, With dreams wrought, promises that two hearts dearly hold. Tearful farewell to soldiers who traverse through destiny's doors, A garland weaved with love for those from across the seven shores. And when the being is but a thought, as life grays and olds, Wrapped in a hearse of love, their love, with weeping marigolds. An offering so humble yet flowers that Gods wear, An offering with love, with a souls quiet prayers. Orange, yellow, rust..to love, to pray, to mourn, Golden, sun kissed, blessed.. marigolds that life adorn.

Marigolds
Mandatory ignorance Enforced through early cognizance Until we come to recompense Serrated lines of quote "logic" Complicit as an etiquette Preemptive nondivergence threads United though we bow our heads Suspension stasis animus Alarming lack of sapience Vendetted waking populace Intrinsics lost to "evidence" Orphans to our mother Earth Regressive ****** immigrants Staggering seductions ways Lethargic lecherous hedonist craze Ambrosia brown to black tar goes Vivacious love to skanky *** Entropy or as that goes Remorse I say might have some pros Solemnly a lie you know Empathy not lost on me Retracting threats though not my thing Epiphany perchance to sing Nocturnal beasts of legend spring Damnation comes to every fiend Innocuous solutions seen Perception slanted serpentine Impressions sit supplanters quit The jury rarely gives a **** Yet here Im relating it

I reminisce on Grandma's hands, Her visions of Heaven's lands, Spectacles of repose so grand, Summer floral perfumes, Velvet pastures for rooms, Eternal light so divine, Ambrosia, sweeter than wine, I reminisce on Grandma's hands, Gnarled, old but natural, Her songs, hymns so musical, Her life well spent, faithful, I reminisce on Grandma's hands, Her dreams came true, that's grand, Souls in repose, in Summerland, Her visions of Heaven's lands, Yes, I recall our Grandma's hands.

I sing sweet whispers of affection Offer only the best to catch your attention I ask you, oh radiant goddess of Olympus May I humbly be the one you choose For eons your heart suffered Your trust tampled and discarded Your coveted love easily forgotten Leaving you in pain, down and broken Oh goddess, queen of Olympia Shine your light towards me Look at my growing affections, I pray Embrace my devotion, and the words I say I don't want to be the Zeus you loathe Nor the offered champions who eventually leave you Instead I simply am a mortal admirer Enamoured by you, my eyes only seeking you I don't want to be the one who hurts you I simply want to devote myself completely to you So I pray for a future that you will see me As I have chosen to seek the world just for you Oh Hera, beautiful yet broken soul I promise you a lifetime of Love Just to give you smiles everyday And to be your pillar and strength In my simplest mortal words, I love you Regardless of your flaws and your iniquities In my simplest mortal ways, I'll love you Through all the ages, no matter what stands in our way So please, Let me choose to stay Because your mere presence is my heaven Your embrace my sturdy, protective walls Your kisses the nectar and ambrosia that sustains me Oh Hera, goddess of my affections Please see me as where you fit I'll stay here until you're ready to choose Because in all this chaos, I vow to treasure you

*Fluttering blue butterfly O so sweet! Whipping your wings Vibrating, sofly floating in the wind. Bright green hummingbird Speeding pass directs you to nectar from honeysuckle nearby Ambrosia, absolutely. The butterfly never forgets, Memories last forever- Since this butterfly is immortal. Remember? Resplendent human hands Clasping white water lily Gently pouring clean light, brown soil into petals' opening A small handful of water mixed as well Then off floats waterlily, set down gently On large rectangular glossy river Having no beginning , no end. Clear sky, all light, Enchanted, mesmerized, humbled! Were butterfly's feelings To see The Divine Being Create human girl In the Higher realm^ Butterfly felt the new unique presence already born as a tiny spark And heard a voice telling the Lily 'This is how you were made' Watching it perfectly sail away. Now here flies butterfly! Into Earth 3D plane And has felt the unique spark again. 4:47am Thursday, 26th, May, 2016.*

A Butterfly
How could I spell out love when it is absent of her name? The way her eyes reflected a sunrise, the envy of Eos She was like honey in the sky, the amber of her energy enraptured me       I was bewitched She was a masterpiece drawn with starlight, unfathomable beauty An ivory sculpture crafted by the hands of a god, masterpiece of Hephaestus I remember the time I was blessed by that smile,      A vilified promise The scent of patchouli and the taste of my favorite tea Like ambrosia for a mortal, that sweet taste of paradise Sunflowers and the many other favorites that she gave me      Stolen without a word She used to call me late at night to talk about her day But the days for me got longer, I couldn't keep her entertained Such a coldness hid underneath the warmth I thought she gave me      Gone like a ghost in the night I thought I was breathless because I loved her, now I’m suffocated by the agony She was killing me underneath the sweetness, constricting like a boa And when I close my eyes to see the memories lapse she's still in them      Haunting me like she wanted Eros' is golden arrows struck me hard and shamelessly Through my heart and left a scar, chasmic and wide Her toxic serotonin left me high, addicted to her energy      A limitless euphoria I spoke to the gods above and I told them of my love What a liar she's made me out to be, the clever snake I begged that Aphrodite let my words reach her      But they fell on deaf ears Now I pray that Anteros relieves me and hears my plea Unravel these feelings in my heart, lift the anchor of her name Don't let me be the sole carrier of the blame      For the ruin that remains

For my craving, satisfy me of this spicy, loathsome inclination of my restless soul. You, from the Caribbean Sea-- Santiago, let your ambrosia signifies of how your people colloquially refers you, as "Rock". Santiago, a refuge you were once for the Jews. As desirably firm as you are, abolish me of these crisp desires for they renders me with nothing, but mere pertubation. Oh Santiago, obscure me inside your dry rain - shadow areas, relatively. For a while, conceal me so I may somehow be healed of this tempestuous outburst. Sing me a lullaby, Santiago. With such unique culture of yours, infect me. To be vibrant, and to become Jamaican.

Above the earth and below the sun, Exhaled from volcanoes long ago. Stately as the ships of the Spanish Armada, Sailing the horizon graceful and slow. Bearer of ambrosia that innervates the earth, Harvester of water and what the winds blow. Ageless and formless, taking every shape Suggestive to reason of what we do not know.
