in the purple rich darkness
of your love for me
i question my existence
and the velvet cream
moon melts the fear
and deep hallucinations
of yellow-red flowers
growing under a sky-
blue-pink
images of you and i
making love in a blanket
of daisies and juniper
with salt and pepper
sundaes and
green-cherry blossom
apples
the fruit of deceit.
