The gardens of Magnolia


eclipse

Recommended Posts

In rooms of my mind the lifting perfume

lingers-winding towards a dream, night's blinds

are drawn, the aroma's ecstasy, mirrored,lumes,

the stilted haze and flowers furnish, bind

in the summer screen of the Magnolia

gardens slumbering ease. Their is a war

of wry wistfulness in the gardeners

caress. The honey bee carries it's score

of nectar, the train continues it's tour

through a democracy of the senses to select the

candidate that is most likely too

sanctify-a bird hovers nonchalantly

in his republic of land and sky, flowers

seduce hand and eye, divining answers.

Barry,

 

This is one of my absolute favorites of yours! It is as rich and sweet as your subject, for a moment the room was enveloped in a perfume most profound. Really Good Work!

A complement of (hopefully) pleasant days to days to come. Well written with rich imagery and phrases that evoke alternative thoughts. I liked: "There is a war of wry wistfulness" though wondered if you meant "Theirs"... Your political analogies include: "democracy of senses" and "republic of land and sky"... Made me think.. "Freudian".. as our much longed-for, end-of-term general election looms in May. :smile: Much enjoyed.
