LAVENDER GARDEN We intuitively hear the call and dream of the lavender garden.   Beckoning secrets unfold unto the merciful night.   Suddenly, musical chants sung by celestial angels gently carry us into the golden chariot.   Through karmic whispers, we sweetly embrace.   The clear ocean shore becoming our final prophesy.   It silently swells, casting silver showers upon us.   Our souls fuse like ghosts into the foggy air.   Evaporating into the lavender mist, we become one.   The karmic wheel churns, baptizing us into perfumed existence, once again   HER STORY OF THE BLACK APPLES, POETS' PODIUM; 1998  P. 14 SENSES An expression of sensuality at its most sublime - strokes of red on a brass setting.   Intertwined with the earthly Muse at its most mosaic - streaks of brown and sprinkles of green on a steep mountain side.   Metamorphosing continuously into heavy raindrops.   Splashes of deep purple delicately swaying on white cushiony clouds.   Stroking, streaking, sprinkling, splashing, and swaying the wind embraces my cyclical existence into a composite of my "Senses".   HER STORY OF THE BLACK APPLES, POETS' PODIUM ;1998  P.20 WATER LILIES IN MY GARDEN With a whimsical smile, I walk towards my garden.   Kissing its inauguration of life with my fertile lips.   Hazily resting on wet rocks water lilies encircling my ankles bracing me with their glorious scent.   As I exit the garden above my opal shoulders, I feel the summer night's breeze.   Merciful lilies, forgiving my sinful feet.   Still, replenishing me through the soft the soft ocean waves encircling me in perpetual harmony.   WATER LILIES IN MY GARDEN, POETS' PODIUM ;1999 P.1 ORACLE Transcendental oracle softly caressing the pinnacle of my scattered soul.   Ghostly white escaping from a dark hollow.   Scenting me with its musical breeze.   Eyes as deep as the Adriatic sea enlighten my aura into a euphoric lilac.   Life of tunes resuscitating me into the waves.   Suspended, in awe I become enraptured.
