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.
