Stars and Flowers in Love

In the starry night garden
You and I held each other close
I caressed the planes of your face
With mine, and my fingertips
The moon was fringed by your blown hair
Across my view

As the night jasmine bloomed
You held my face between your hands
For a long, long moment
You have all night, no hurry
Savor us, I am overwhelmed
With a joy that is now and forever

Consume me, my love!
Dance upon the bonfire of this night!
Never before or again this wild a delight
We will live forever in a moment
That will scar us with its ecstasy
And warm us when the memory's called

Seen from behind, the flowers were luminous and translucent.

Tiny, slow beetle
Scales the rose to my delight
Are you a firefly?

Hard, static glass splash
Chihuly can give movement
To that which is still

Nature Makes Me Happy

Zebra swallowtail
Sips minerals from the mud
Lets me catch beauty

My Joie de vivre
Crowds heart and soul to bursting
Must not scare him off

Butterfly happy
The spirit grows sailor wings
Exaltation airs

Dianthus

Delicate, my love
How careful, protective I
Of exquisite you

Open mouthed, spellbound
Paralyzed by wonderment
Inevitable

For my garden, love
You captivate all comers
All desire, dream on

Bright jewels of the pond
Look at you, feeder or foe?
Sinuous beauty

Water iris

Fey wetland beauties
Nodding in breezes, scented
Dragonfly feeders

The Creature That Ate The Mushrooms I Wanted To Photograph, Guess What? You're Modeling!

Pine sawyer beetle
Hopes I might be good eating
I am far too tough

Yet tender, gentle
I do not begrudge his try
Can't help it, small bot

Down and back you go
Ground dwelling mushroom eater
Cleanse palate of me

Home again, again
Searching my beetle buddy
"Bite" in top search terms

Given enough time
He'd work his way all through me
I ain't standing still
