ruly

my butterfly eyes
don't see so good
but sparkle in the sun
like dewdrop lips
that taste of spring
hair of twined ivy
petal soft skin
somnolent sweet honey
that trickles over
in a drowsy fountain
painting lazy rivers
down my back
my heart
a riot of manic flowers
an exploding universe of
scintillating scents
enticing me onward
to leave behind forever
the ruly, mannered lawns
of my neighbors
for a wilderness all my own
