GINGER SANDS AND WEDDING BANDS UNPLEACHED.

1. Ginger Root and Lemon Peel.

Ginger root and lemon peel

Perfumes blend for fragrant meal

Lemon peel and ginger root

Cardamom and bamboo shoot

Fragrant meals with kitchen spice

Toss and bed on jasmine rice

Kitchen spices, flavour wheels

Ginger root and lemon peel

2. Drumming Sands

Galloping along the sands

Drumming rhythm through my hands

Sands a’galloped in my spring

Mind a’spaced in horse’s swing

Hands conducting rhythm-drums

Seaside memories become

Rhythm drumming blood demands

Galloping along the sands

3. Wedding Day.

Glace bride in wedding blush

Bright head bowed in holy hush.

Weddings blush for bridal night

Secrets quilted out of sight.

Holy hush of billowed bride

Innocence she cannot hide.

Billowed beauty, maiden flush

Glace bride in wedding blush.
