• Wisteria pathway

    Her backyard trellis drapes pollinated
    wisteria buds on a peach toned path
    that curves as softly as her waist.
    At the end of the trellis wisteria vines
    arch and overflow their tall perch,
    brushing the ground with tiny fragrant tips.
    In the morning sun, the dew glimmers off
    precious lilac buds that fluttered shut
    the night before to rest their weary eyes.
    As sure as time brings the sunrise
    to gently awaken the flowers from their rest,
    her lover wakes her from her bed
    with soft kisses to each eye and adoring
    touches for each soft curve.
    With an urgency that the world’s gears
    are grinding to a start, he coxes her into desire.
