Spirits bloom in your grooves
A flowering yard on a floating lake
Silk-soft petals alight here
Regrets of an autumn’s downcast leaves
Dulcet, your flamingo-red beats
Green lagoons, my eyes span your skies
Lissome, lithe, langourous
My seasons yearn for unending rain
A bramble corner waits
a forgotten dirt track ends
And there bloom my pretty celandines
Nodding shy yellows brush past a dream
There is a songbird in your bush
like love tiptoeing on rain-misted feet
Come under the trees; listen
while we kiss this earth into silence
Insistent bumble bee, duck into her folds
stroking her shyness away
as you reach the whorls
Your thirst is her ecstasy
A tango slow in buttercup heaven
Hold precious this innate dance
The twirls, the curves, the heaves of the fall
swirl within unwritten poems of desire
Two circles of joy, a grave till springtime
Love remains an evergreen celandine
