[NaPoWriMo - 2025 Collection] Flowers from Thoughts
Prelude
Flush wisteria, lavender
ripened upon their vine
Eliot’s hyacinth couple
deep purple, beyond the rain-
pummeled garden gate
A mossy footpath, wet
seeping between toes
of bare feet, droplets plop
extend upward, fall
into Earth's moistened mouth
. . .Other echoes
Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?
Not to learn but remember
nor think back to before
November circumstance
tilled the soil of withered slumber...

Some berries and a giraffe's kiss
Let me take you to a divine place
where strawberries blush and interlace.
In the heart of the savannah they bloom
soft whispers of life in nature’s room.
The rain falls warm, like a lover's sigh.
A tender caress from a generous sky.
Its drops linger embracing the earth
feeding the fields where beauty finds birth.
The light, so cool, shimmers and plays,
casting shadows in intricate arrays.
A gentle balm to the heat’s embrace
illuminating dreams in this secret space.
Feel the pulse of the land, its steady...
where strawberries blush and interlace.
In the heart of the savannah they bloom
soft whispers of life in nature’s room.
The rain falls warm, like a lover's sigh.

feeding the fields where beauty finds birth.

of constellations and cosmos
celestial cinders casting
crystalline candescent confetti,
confessing their cravings for
carefree colourful cosmos-
whose corolla and calyx dancing
on choreography of the conjurers;
captivating the earthy constellations
with their colossal cerulean chaos;
cascading with a calm cadence
to caress those crusty creatures-
but
they already carry a covenant
to be the companions of earth...
a coveted chimerical chemistry
between the celestial and the carnal,
yet
cannot carve their
charismatic calligraphy
on...

Northern Cross
A poultry flock through Cygnus flew
almost beyond my sight...
so appropriate thereunto
they really made my night.
So silently they crossed the sky
northwest to Dipper stars
where dauntless flocks all learn to fly
like avian hussars.
Strange that I heard no honks therefrom
in all their midnight flight.
Did they to Lyra's spell succumb
or were they just polite?
I think 'twas acme Cygnus
preeminent above
that had the squadron virtuous...
in plumy gaggle love.

Mutated Menagerie (collab with Vision_of_insanity)
We have all become mutations
Tested
Experimented with
horrifying results
Evolution has multiple ways through life
never a single one
Evolution is the alternative
for any existence
You were another in my garden
searching for that seed of birth
to grow onto and evolve
together as one, on earth.
Looking for life through deep space
Visions so vast
Light years from the human race
On that infinite road, we see planet ZYX13 up ahead
Orange and pinkish gases
Our space suits equipped, so we...

Dreams
I watch the revolutions of the horizon
with an instinctive knowing
that such a thing is an education
in being and growing.
As dawn expands in my heart
and mind, in a design
composed in champaign
and emerges in fully formed art.
In a day scanned by butterfly
wings, over colored petal
things, with an indomitable
will – Integral to a back drop of sky,
Perfectly pristine, baby blue
thing, pulsating behind the
wing shaped mirage where the
butterfly vanished, true -
In a space haze of Heisenberg ...

Nature
I used to write about nature
in its truest sense –
the whisper of pine needles
heady scent of moss
rioting dandelions
and hooting owls
The way that dewdrops cling
to the border of kale leaves in the garden
and how the stars tell stories
of my magnificent smallness
I still perceive this poetry
all around me
But I’ve become consumed of late
with the nature of humans
untangling ill-fated attachments
to wounded avoidants
that painful natural cycle
I just can’t break
And...

The Rose of Paradise (Cauldron Kill Series)
An abomination of a demonic-angel and hollowed earth
The Rose of Paradise purpose became the healer of nature’s hurt,
“With skin that flows a mercury of flowers and vines
Mysterious mystical energy in her eyes constantly shine,
“The Rose of Paradise natural beauty is godly insane
Along with her touch that can change blood to warm milk or polluted rain,
“All animals in the area will always know when she is near
Coming to her defense if called fighting to the death with no fear,
“Through smells The Rose...

Incandescence
An incandescence escalades reflection,
Like an eagle soaring above a lake still,
Seeing deep, crying out yonder to go,
Spread softly over, with an open, serene, winged shadow,
Encompassing betwixt radial, mountainous horizons,
A clarity and range, resolute further.

Mint
I won't be coy,
this isn't a hint,
currently all I grow is mint.
In the inner city,
gardens aren't pretty,
my neighbors don't like plants, just weed.
I want much more,
lush gardens by the score!
But fierce summer heat will always impede.
My sister grows a bounty on her porch,
but Oregon's heat isn't the Phoenix blowtorch.
Still, here in this desert apartment I know.
there are plenty more herbs I could currently grow.
like basil, rosemary, chives, cilantro
And do that I must,
if you know what I mean ...

gentleness
I'm getting stronger but emotionally I feel fragile
my openness weeps
my anger wells
when vulnerability reveals herself
seeking asylum from the steel room I keep her in
painted pretty looking like nature
still, it is a beautiful prison
I'm not cruel I just know this world isn't for her
sanctuary for the gentleness of me
who I let press against the natural world
knowing there is natural selection
and tenderness will always be chosen
my openness weeps
my anger wells
when vulnerability reveals herself
seeking asylum from the steel room I keep her in
painted pretty looking like nature

knowing there is natural selection
and tenderness will always be chosen
