[ NaPo 2018 ] Life Of The Midnight Garden Party

       
A chorded, her voice blooms
forth song as if from flowerbed-
rooms where the spiritual
rendesvous with guesting ghost
living it up until dawn
far beyond sundown's
ritual lighting of lamp post  
 
Out on the lawn
sprung is Spring
in the midnight hours;
garden party now in full swing
 
In these quiet moments of Ours     
afforded by the Universe      
brilliant and strong      
she petals along      
continuing to sing

leaving me elated;  
I'm pleasingly serenaded      
in her blessed company      
for she brings out the best in me    
 
and I am truly without limitations   
never to be vased with imitations

Life Of The Midnight Garden Party  
     
Beyond sundown's ritualistic      
lighting of the lamp posts      
     
her vocal chords      
spring forth in blooms      
through belated hours      
     
spirit mingling with ghosts      
guesting in my empty rooms      
     
assorted quiet moments      
the Universe affords      
anticipated as Ours      
     
Brilliant and strong      
petaling along in her song      
leaving me elated      
I'm pleasingly serenaded      
     
In her blessed company      
she brings out the best in me      
and I am truly without limitation;      
     
never to be vased with imitation
