here the charm of peonies
just peach ones in my garden
wafting scents loving the sun
from dawn to red dusk
in the middle of the day
at the latter part of June
profuse blooms such ripe berries
the world is waking
last night I dreamed of space flight
into nebulous hued clouds
amidst countless diamond stars
rising and setting
a vase on the windowsill
and I'm gazing at the moon
whose radiant pearly beams
dazzle rose petals
fragrance awakes my senses
midway from sunset to dawn
and the moon's my only friend
in glittering night
......
in the coolness of shadows
in the misty fountain spray
thrilling to summer's last steps
in midst of birdsong
in a park of pleasantness
so peaceful near the flowers
radiance rules the daytime
echoing through night
......
anthers of orange and gold
a large pink bloom soaks the sun
light pink here and dark pink there
with streaks of purple
fragrance fills the summertime
forever lived in one day
beauty sensed by the senses
never unnoticed
gold butterflies in noon fields
of sunflowers and daisies
greet black-eyed susan delight
yellow warblers sing
in the heart of hot summer
the song lives on forever
on the blooming paths of time
tales of summer love
the days are filled with colors
in all the possible hues
spring through winter, down the years
on land sea or sky
lives immersed in radiance
burnished dawn to ruby dusk
thrill to the vibrant frenzy
'til purple black night
red and orange peonies
in a lemon colored vase
catching the red sunset rays
evening bay window
all the day has come to this
when the night blooms are waking
vivid hues above, below
welcoming the dark
high-rises touch sunset skies
and are bathed in many hues
fast cars bright lights raucous noise
eclectic beauty
frowns and smiles people laughing
on the way to a new day
in the now vivid fashions
sophisticated
