flowering magic
my tears fall desperately inside
you won't see me weep
after all I am an oddity
you would stop and stare
and perhaps get some pleasure
my forlorn soul had to grow spikes
at a very young age
beauty is a free ticket to act any type of way
people will accept it
my lot is I'm normal looking
with a sunflower disposition
unless you push my buttons
then you will meet the dark that resides with me
my effort is great to keep people out of my dark stuff
it acts with it's own mind
because I am soft and never...

Dandelions in the fall
Dandelions in the fall
reminding us of how we used to be
yellow in a sea of green
a raft adrift
before the sun sets down
late autumn brings cold to the breeze
leaves falling from the maples
black walnuts litter the ground
wood chuck cut out her home
at the edge of the creek
deer eating the remains of pumpkins
on a limb the squirrel eats the last of the crab apples
hanging upside down
dandelions in the winter
reminding us what is going to be
a desert of pure white
buries the flower underneath
now we travel...

Buzz Of The Bee
You were at a picnic,dressed in lace.
In this magical,nature place.
The melody of the buzzing bees.
And green,evergreen trees.
The bees buzzed,and the clouds unite.
Picnic on this field and watching the stars at night.
The sound of them buzzing,fuzzes in your head.
It keeps on blurring the negative thoughts in your head.
I wonder,is that sound fallen from grace?
Or is it from an entirely different place?
Is it from an entirely different race?
Or is that a smile on your face?
I have so many regrets.
But...

My Diospyros Lotus
Round, lilliputian Diospyros Lotus, bell-shaped
Veiled in scales, a feeble shield
Yearns for its gardeners’ tender care
Nurture it, to grow, fully fledged
The not so divine fruit clings to life’s agony
Roots entrenched in the soil of chaos
Its fragile stem, xylem strained
Carries arid minerals to the leaf bud
I weep for its struggle to survive
Hoping my pearls might help it thrive
Yet all it does is worsen its plight
As it gazes at me with pity
Perhaps I've stifled it, smothered its breath ...
Veiled in scales, a feeble shield
Yearns for its gardeners’ tender care
Nurture it, to grow, fully fledged

Carries arid minerals to the leaf bud

Perhaps I've stifled it, smothered its breath ...

The rose
Renewal is abound
Rising up from the heels of decay
to carry the life of the ancients
where beauty prevails as a constant
I ride the wind with the wren
as a seed, soliciting the fray in the womb
Flitting from mountain to valley
before settling on a parcel
unblemished by the relics of the departed
I’ve readied my roots
to release the lore of my existence
Seducing the fragments of design
to imbue my soul to the soil
Tendrils of resilience weaving my foundation
I forge my stalk with vigour ...

A Solitary Daisy
Planted along a worn rickety fence
In the front yard of a paint peeled white house
Stands a solitary daisy
Among blades of grass taller than she
A waft of her feint cheerful scent
Carried by the warm summer morning breeze
Brushes past me as I bend to bend to pick her
I am amazed at the simplicity she radiates
Graceful, dainty petals swaying
Strong, rooted stem giving way
I tenderly place her in my long, curly fire hair
Humbled by her innocence
I seemingly become to be as...

In the vast expanse of the garden
Such a grand kingdom.
The petals flutter like candles
in the breeze they spin.
Let secrets whisper
tales from distant lands.
In this verdant haven
where time passes
through our hands.
Flowers bloom like coral,
vibrant and bright,
in the warm embrace of the sun.
They bask in the violet light.
Paths wind like chains,
winding and free,
through this lush sanctuary
where dreams come to be.
Dance of the butterflies
like creatures from the deep.
In this green expanse
where the memories we keep....
The petals flutter like candles
in the breeze they spin.
Let secrets whisper
tales from distant lands.
In this verdant haven
where time passes
through our hands.
Flowers bloom like coral,
vibrant and bright,
in the warm embrace of the sun.
They bask in the violet light.
Paths wind like chains,
winding and free,
through this lush sanctuary
where dreams come to be.
Dance of the butterflies
like creatures from the deep.
In this green expanse
where the memories we keep....

the obstacle
The obstacle
After the none violent revolution in Portugal
1972, as often happens in my life when something
unusual happens, I was there, not knowing I was
witnessing history
My ship came to unload cargo, but we ended
up staying for weeks, a revolution is too important
to be wasted by mere cargo
In the village where I later settled.
the new era brought a road, not a big road
but wide enough for a school bus
there was an aber, where the road ended
two olive trees blocked the road for further
expansion
The trees...

Lunaria!
Sweet night air, and long shadow moon,
and northeast bound mystery drone...
does sleep for you come none too soon
in summer darkness...all alone?
To your silence crickets salute
when moonbeams on dry seed pods glow
and lonely owls are heard to hoot
to all the deadpan weeds below.
Lunaria! Now in decline!
Oh how translucent are your pods!
How like angel haloes divine
or gossamer doubloons of the gods!
They pay the way for next year's crop...
when the savage skies of winter drop.
and northeast bound mystery drone...
does sleep for you come none too soon
in summer darkness...all alone?
To your silence crickets salute
when moonbeams on dry seed pods glow
and lonely owls are heard to hoot
to all the deadpan weeds below.
Lunaria! Now in decline!
Oh how translucent are your pods!
How like angel haloes divine
or gossamer doubloons of the gods!
They pay the way for next year's crop...
when the savage skies of winter drop.

Flower Garden
It was a day full of work and woe.
You got up and walked through the door.
As you walked home on the path astray.
You spotted something, a garden far away.
You walk over and try to see.
What you want to see and be.
It was like a sea of color.
With blooms like no other.
The petals danced like ballerinas in the sun.
Like a million sunrays having fun.
The flowers danced gracefully - red,purple,red.
With colors like gold,silver.
Like a cozy nature bed.

Nature Moving
One only waxes poetic,
Recounting nature's perfect kinetics.
Uses only immaculate phrasing,
To emphasise how amazing,
The stems, heavy hips.
The dropping of honey drips,
From the honeycomb,
That it's swaying whips.
The bee, hovers over, with power.
But gentle, goes into her flower.
The plosion of pollen.
What remains, the wind devours.
The cyrsos that conceals
A mirage that is real.
In flutters, her wings are spread,
