Pigments of Imagination

stroll twilight's quiet
easy breathed figments,
remembering morning's spin
as wood drifts back; relax

to vivid abstract splashes,
in love's shared imagination
thru fields of punch flowers,
and butterscotch kisses

catch babies' breath
blown by swing dance wind;
wildfire imagination
stirs many pigments where

mint and flower boxes adorn
a quaint beach town,
as proud white sails glide
leisurely past, some waving

to standing strong,
arched bridges of Naples
in new sunset's glow halo,
old whitecap's whipped foam

long reach's afterglow,
neon green phosphorescense;
meringue whipped waves
lost in disappearing seagreen

to glittering raindrips,
the gathering raindrops, plop!
darkened slate clouds touched
by raucous white gulls!

a warmed day fog rolling in
the port's misty greeting;
dozing stars to soon awake,
surrounded by deep dark blue

passing curled banded snake,
jade tree frog, mossy logs:
see goose feather beige
go honking over soft charcoal

toward twilight land,
quieter sea sand times;
greying, amber tinted eyes
always walking hand in hand
