III.

waves shimmering golden nighttimes sexual luxury yellow waves
red delight touch shining glowing gargantuan nourishment tumultuous sugar red
a plethora of flavors assaulting the pallet
an abundance of color flying into eardrums
yellow and crimson scarlet and orange and violet black
a beautiful naked body glistening silver
sleek contours
burning bonfires
slicing souls
bright orange and scarlet and yellow and faint blue flames
searing colors
blasts of sound like sunburst
searing white siren
nectar rainbow water redness seeping gateway youthful lustful laser rapid danger river ravish shining glassy yellow whirlpool lever rhythm massive vertex saccharine nectar
sounds flashing past wide open eyes and blinking lights igniting ears and searing heat tasting like
feeling scented herbs
flames of burning sound and waves of light flashing in ecstatic stellar regions of passion
desperate crimson longing and twisting insides bursting into flame and crying happiness
hysterical laughter of love sadness screeching terrifying colorful deep breath
emotional overload


IV.

waking up in a bed next to wisdom
in a cottage in a sun sprinkled valley

birds singing in nirvana
yellow and blue and green and white
sweet music like vanilla ice cream

faint but steady light shining inside a vacuum
marigolds and lavender and chrysanthemums
a mountain road lined with pines
silver and golden linings on stars and clouds

warmth and subtle light
eclipse of the moon
clouds sliding slowly through the mauve evening sky

violet cinnamon perfume lover�s touch and saxophone

snow brushed off the roof by wind
blowing in swirls in the breeze

desert sands and setting sun on the horizon
beyond pyramids standing solid

quiet still waters on a mountain top

a child blows out the candles on his birthday cake
his mother tucks him in
a gentle kiss on the cheek
sweet dreams of cotton candy and sled rides

a group of acolytes hear sweet music in the distance

they kneel down on their knees eyes closed
and listen
