Click hereYou flew a broad and heady passage
through the bright, bright hours,
but hold no more
that winged thought,
for chance must bid
upon this tinted lazy land
farewell of speedwell blue
King solace in cool hot to take
that winding foliage road
round sultry summer days or
the shuddering
anxious
life - hush of petty king whose care
must be
about a crashing sea or arms
of happy infant May
flowers breathed by the best
Kiss upon my trace
nature and sun,
implode the jungle of totality
colors golden,
while shadows fall,
shadows olden
threshold of more
kindly woven grace
Beauty is hinted by my Beloved
and calls forth eternal numbers
of a star-dipped Moon.
For I may hold a rose but teach it not.
"of happy infant May
flowers breathed by the best"
I love this picture. I agree that this is a lot of puzzle, but I like being puzzled, I just do not have the brain for it this morning, I hope to come back and say more than
Hey I like this line!

"Beauty is hinted by my Beloved
and calls forth eternal numbers
of a star-dipped Moon."
This makes me sigh...nicely done, will look for more of your work in the future.

This poem has some very good lines and images
and the alliteration helps smooth the read.
The work is understandable,
but the logical flow is perhaps
far more difficult to follow than it need be.
For example, few will comprehend
"farewell to speedwell blue" behind the surface.
The enjambment offers multiple meanings,
but confuses as often as enlightens.
Simplify and try again.
The poet has word skills,
but should stop trying to teach the rose,
and just write about its beauty.
More puzzle than poem for most Literotica readers.
Best line for me:
upon this tinted lazy land
I did have to look up solace, though, never ran a cross't before, not in my life time.
