Buds rising in the mind and capturing fascination
from the intuitive stems rooted deep in the soil,
which the heart waters.
They flower as a constant transforming display,
inspiring blooms before eyes,
the petals forming a visionary bouquet
spreading their diverse images,
perfuming the brain with rare and exquisite thoughts.
One becomes a paramour of lucidity,
sprouting an intimate creative liaison,
the obsession burns for honeymoon
with blossoming inventive mistress,
who wraps her sultry vine of profoundness
around every other notion rose
that was held as unique.
Becoming a siren
unto a vernal essence,
where spring is a love affair
through new arrays of inner discovery,
finding that perfect mating orchid of thinking
who bears offspring
as the arrangements of awakening.
