in soft velvet regalia

yielding to summer

angel wings, float, soar, proffer 

joy on the sidewalk

for evolution

to shoot up straight, flourishing

from human constraints

ring in golden spring

the fresh breath of revival

lasting till summer

to give it all, then to die

recreate over

effusive melding wishes

romance in colours

nourished from earth's wild offers

feed our eyes with grace

tickles shadows with laughter

coquettish offering

with transparency, shines the

truth on all that live

a journey built brick by brick

the end's just a start

deepen reflections, stir

hope in the unknown

roll out in sensual dance, tease

belief, dream wonders

undraped, thrusting its might on

wary passers-by

sweet scents, charged, provocative,

balm of a fresh kiss
