Inflorescence

May 30, 2022 Victoria Venturella

Casanova, minas snow,

Prinophyllum,

Coral glow.

Opal luster,

Harvest moon.

Lavendula,

I’ll see you soon.

Midnight beauty,

Seven stars,

Red dazzled,

Meet me on mars.

Morning magic,

Cappuccino,

Sing me a song,

Only you know.

Ebony pearl,

Scarlet wonder,

You make my heart thump,

Is that thunder?

Silver skies,

Scintillation.

Is this a dream?

figment of my imagination?

Electric current,

Venetian chimes.

The deep gaze of your eyes.

Mi amor,

De ja vu,

It feels like I’ve always known you.

Metamorphosis,

Magnetic field,

What a gift the universe revealed.

Lamplighter,

Bluette,

Kiss me in this silhouette.

Epoch,

Buretta.

Endlessly evergreen,

Endlessly meta.

We already changed each other.

Rhododendron,

Existentia.

Meta Smiles

August 26, 2021 Victoria Venturella

Someone smiles looking at you from across the room while you are already looking at them.

You immediately become cognizant of their smile.

Day’s pass,

The experience of their smile resurfaces.

You begin to think of them more deeply into a future moment.

This memory etched into a box of their photos.

Upon the minds shelf boxes of meaning stack high.
