nurturing and rebellious....

Peach on the Rosepeach is on the rose
since orange sun shines so bright
earth's bathed in warm light
redbirds are singing
of yellow saffron summer
near garden stunners
sapphires in the sky
vagrant clouds have gone missing
gold fields glistening
sunshine rose fragrance
colors and green everywhere
butterflies in air...

In the depths of my soul, a question blooms like a flower of light in the nightIn the depths of my soul, a question blooms like a flower of light in the night,
I wonder whether to release the reins and reveal what grows in my silence.
I pretend not to feel this calling, like a secret tide touching my shores,
But for a long time, it has danced through my veins like a...

Garden of DelightsGarden Delights, a set of stamps
from 2024.
features stamps in which there are
different scenes of four.
A ruby-throated hummingbird
takes great delight
in hovering near a flower,
each a pretty sight:
A zinnia, cigar flower,
a spotted touch-me-not
and the fourth – a sunflower,
which I like a lot.
Oh, Sunflower, with large florets center,
be prepared to meet
the hummingbird approaching you
with her nectar sweet.

The Efflorescence of a Half Moon LoveThe Efflorescence of a Half-Moon Love
An immutable desire to awaken and experience the night’s breath…
Where saddened petals elate at the ability to whisper open at the cusp of dawn.
I reach to orbit near you:
where carnal might kiss deity,
and the air between us smells of divine pollen.
A heavenly flower exhaling eternity
from the soft rupture of its...

Wilting flowersWilted flowers
Wilted flowers lie in empty fields
Days pass as flies scour,
Leaving the decomposing ideas to be eaten.
The sun flickers as each minute weans by
An empty shell of you left in bloody waters.
A quiet silence crowding the space your words claimed.
The once blooming pedals, scorned by your nectar.
Craving the burn you bring into my veins; no...

Fasten Smiles Upon Me SayI'm not old fashioned I'm just from a time when everything was better !
Tether me with flowers
bring me sunshine everyday !
Do not ruffle up my feathers
when I'm doing it my way !
Fasten smiles upon me say,
"Go ahead, do it your way !"

As UsualSome gates are closed, others are open
I passed them all I lived inside
The postcard views where as a postman
I brought your package every night
Check your emails if there’s a new
Stifting a yawn you find the one
In haste you almost read it through
Replying with a glint of sun
Meanwhile the coffee smells of morning
You open up...
