Nocturne

In divan, I keep company
Remontant buds offer perfume
An endemic sleeping scent of
Lotus flower power gluttons
Owing the day some awake, beads
Of gelatinous dew tears
Host a lock in for eyes, while
Serenity slumbers like an
Opiate whore. Languishing,
Like small haberdasher trinkets
Tinting the back of eyelids with
Glints, painting vanity in rouge
Bidding the highest price for rest

This is great...i love that you can get something so simple as a rose and turn it into an symphony of imagery and context. The weaving together of the words is complex and very well pulled off without being pretencious..it just sounds fantastic.

Now I have to look up "remontant." I like the sumptuos feel of the language in this.
