Ernest Robles Poet Free verse

Two Purple Tulips

THE ENTIRE Earth:  a watch
that tells the heart when 
you are awake and sleeping.

I feel

the movement of Beethoven’s
Sonatas and your dreams:
like a butterfly sighing
and escapes

from between your parting
lips dreaming of me.

Then as though upon the 
tips of tulips I am flying!
Searching vast fields to
find the one beautiful
perianth:  and your berries
within the tulip's ovary!

And now my search is found
within a forest of fragments
of greens, browns, sparrows,
and splintered wood:

The Earth's watch has stopped
for eternally us!
Away with nature's winds!

a lifetime,
a lifetime,

together within eternity
and two purple tulips
excited that fiber of time
has climaxed upon our moment!

Darlene De Beaulieu January 9, 2018 at 2:31 PM Hello Earnest, you wrote a beautiful poem. My favourite flowers are roses. Yet i do like the tulips, I have never seen a purple tulip. It must be a rare kind. Have a nice day my friend. Ernest Robles January 9, 2018 at 3:12 PM Hi Darlene! Thank you for such a kind compliment! As for tulips and their colors: they are available in just about every color of the rainbow! :) ~ Ernest
