Incendiary passion rummages,
Stacks of old dried views,

I enter the land of words often,
Eager to pluck the ripest,
Driven by urge to fashion verse,
Attempting a vivid message.

A majestic rose, wanting to pick,
Enamoured by the bloom,
Clumsy hand, eager stretched,
To possess the priceless boon,
Ignored the chafing barbs raking,
The excited quivering flesh.

Illuminated bow of colours in the sky,
Seen through liquid prisms,
Water drops painted with light!
Stretched across the horizon,
Splash of contoured hues,

Complimenting my eagerness,
A gesture well meaning probably,
Or cliché of social language
I'd compromised when life demanded,
As she had . . . more

Seem sophisticatedly inclined, . . . more
