Rain fills the desert
Whose years of tightly held salt
Bloom to the surface
SALT FLOWERS
Whose years of tightly held salt
Bloom to the surface

Dark Daffodils
An array of daffodils
Like yellow trumpets
Heralding new beginnings
Or ends
Heads bobbing, and swaying
Like armies
Marching
Like a sea
Of yellow ectoplasm
Gungy slime
Beautifully unattractive
Like a black sublime
Self loving
Self loathing
Dark pools
Mirrors Narcissus
Ripples of dark water
An undercurrent
Of grimacing sprites
One daffodil peers in
And is soon drowned
Lost in it's own self beauty
It's poisonous blood
Lies exposed
As dead fish float
Eyes staring upwards ...
Like yellow trumpets
Heralding new beginnings
Or ends
Heads bobbing, and swaying
Like armies
Marching
Like a sea
Of yellow ectoplasm
Gungy slime
Beautifully unattractive
Like a black sublime
Self loving
Self loathing
Dark pools
Mirrors Narcissus
Ripples of dark water
An undercurrent
Of grimacing sprites
One daffodil peers in
And is soon drowned
Lost in it's own self beauty
It's poisonous blood
Lies exposed
As dead fish float
Eyes staring upwards ...

Garden of Delight
Cloying nectar of ylang-ylang
Flowing glibly over chocolate soil
Tendrils of snaking grass recoil
From the yellow silk of sun
As diamond raindrops come undone
From petals of snowy meringue
Tangling jasmine and larkspur kisses
Tease the air with sugar crystal confections
As a jelly sky bleeds ruby clouds
Burying dusk with honeyed shrouds
Of curated light, golden hour selections
Painting twilight in pink marbled caresses
Kumquat and coffee scent the air in waves ...
Flowing glibly over chocolate soil
Tendrils of snaking grass recoil
From the yellow silk of sun
As diamond raindrops come undone
From petals of snowy meringue
Tangling jasmine and larkspur kisses
Tease the air with sugar crystal confections
As a jelly sky bleeds ruby clouds
Burying dusk with honeyed shrouds
Of curated light, golden hour selections
Painting twilight in pink marbled caresses
Kumquat and coffee scent the air in waves ...

Cardiff
Seeing in wings of dragon red
And sooty mocha of castle walls
Trees rising in spring salad florets
To flecked sienna grouse's calls
A two octillion ton
Yellow rose: the sun
Encased in blooming chicory sky
With xanthous petals giving light
To pink champagne truffle
Blossoms snuggled
In blankets python green
Prim and sanguine
Amidst school bus-coloured tansy
Hemorrhage crimson geranium frenzy
And gossiping birches
For chipmunk...
And sooty mocha of castle walls
Trees rising in spring salad florets
To flecked sienna grouse's calls
A two octillion ton
Yellow rose: the sun
Encased in blooming chicory sky
With xanthous petals giving light
To pink champagne truffle
Blossoms snuggled
In blankets python green
Prim and sanguine
Amidst school bus-coloured tansy
Hemorrhage crimson geranium frenzy
And gossiping birches

Dandelions
Dewy drops on yellow caps
glisten as you nod your heads
shiny diamonds fill your crowns
rainbows shimmer as you bow
to travelers who pass your way
glisten as you nod your heads
shiny diamonds fill your crowns
rainbows shimmer as you bow
to travelers who pass your way

House of Flowers
Greeted by snow white lilacs
And a sea of blooming roses
Crescendo of blushing pink
To delight both eyes and noses
An avalanche of daisies
Spread out with ease
Like a cloth to host
Summer feasts of bees
Fiddleheads sign the ground
Calligraphy of cursive green
Forget-me-nots spring all 'round
Quiet cerulean serendipity
And waiting inside this peaceful Arden
A second garden within a garden
Where Monet's poppies all bloom...
And a sea of blooming roses
Crescendo of blushing pink
To delight both eyes and noses
An avalanche of daisies
Spread out with ease
Like a cloth to host
Summer feasts of bees
Fiddleheads sign the ground
Calligraphy of cursive green
Forget-me-nots spring all 'round
Quiet cerulean serendipity
And waiting inside this peaceful Arden
A second garden within a garden
Where Monet's poppies all bloom...

Goodbye Daisy Fields
White linen petals stretched up to the sky
Wide open like welcoming arms
Honey bees clad in onyx and gold
Buzzing in fuzzy soft swarms
Daisy fields laid out like blankets of snow
Under candy floss clouds and periwinkle ether
Beaming at children who frolic below
To gather their snow-blooms together
Songbirds and blackbirds sing summertime blues
While butterflies swing dance and bullfrogs croon
And in prim white array stand daisies who lazily
Wait for the slow silver rise of...
Wide open like welcoming arms
Honey bees clad in onyx and gold
Buzzing in fuzzy soft swarms
Daisy fields laid out like blankets of snow
Under candy floss clouds and periwinkle ether
Beaming at children who frolic below
To gather their snow-blooms together
Songbirds and blackbirds sing summertime blues
While butterflies swing dance and bullfrogs croon
And in prim white array stand daisies who lazily
Wait for the slow silver rise of...

Happy Hibiscus
Pretty flamingo dancers
tied to their partners in green
When the breeze gently blows
the garden is treated to a show,
of fiery flaming petals
and golden pollen bliss,
twirling the folds of their skirts
teasing insects with a kiss.
And when the wind subsides
the dancers stand composed,
their faces blushing brightly
cooled by showers of the hose.
tied to their partners in green
When the breeze gently blows
the garden is treated to a show,
of fiery flaming petals
and golden pollen bliss,
twirling the folds of their skirts
teasing insects with a kiss.
And when the wind subsides
the dancers stand composed,
their faces blushing brightly
cooled by showers of the hose.

September's Voice
I am the voice of a meadow;
listen to me hum.
See what flies about me;
every bloom has come.
Yet I toil nor gather;
only give away
what the air can muster
as against its pull I sway.
Seeds and spores to scatter
like so many words;
thrown about in tatters,
in waiting still unheard.
Whispers only chattered
by some chirping birds
waving to their latter;
a streaming sun of yore.
And only can they
rake away what I,
in turn can let decay
as sleeping, I'll regenerate ...
listen to me hum.
See what flies about me;
every bloom has come.
Yet I toil nor gather;
only give away
what the air can muster
as against its pull I sway.
Seeds and spores to scatter
like so many words;
thrown about in tatters,
in waiting still unheard.
Whispers only chattered
by some chirping birds
waving to their latter;
a streaming sun of yore.
And only can they
rake away what I,
in turn can let decay
as sleeping, I'll regenerate ...

The spring of her
Floral bloom of her hair
Sweet nectar of her lips
Dawning warmth of her arms
Blooming promise of her smile
Welcoming softness of her petals
Full rosebuds of her peaks
Unfurling flower of her lust
Ruffling breeze of her sighs
Raindrop pitter patter of her heart
Wild birdsong of her moans
Morning dew of her wetness
Rapturous sun of her eyes
The spring of her
Sweet nectar of her lips
Dawning warmth of her arms
Blooming promise of her smile
Welcoming softness of her petals
Full rosebuds of her peaks
Unfurling flower of her lust
Ruffling breeze of her sighs
Raindrop pitter patter of her heart
Wild birdsong of her moans
Morning dew of her wetness
Rapturous sun of her eyes
The spring of her

Water Silk and Honey Flowers
Custard cotton lotus blossom
Petals open for her cheeky bee
Awash in nectar, milk and honey glee
Squeezing, cuddling water garden
Lily skin teases passion fruit lips
Dip, dive, nip
In the bud a tea rose mouth
Just south of pools of dewy light
Voluptuous praline taste of flesh
Slick and wet
With ebb and flow of bluest tides
Of water candy eyes
Drawing dulcet rivulets
From wells of sighs
Whispered, purred and kittenish
Blackberry...
Petals open for her cheeky bee

Bougainvillea
Her tears
came
in
rays
Speaking golden -
Like
Winter ways
broken
&
Melting ways
chosen
Words unspoken
[contain]
Her
Emotion
in
Expansion
as
Day of the dead
Spider web
of
red
Bougainvillea
Bleeding
over
the
art
Of
My
Heart
came

Like

Spider web
