Heart of the Begonia is what my soul has seen.
As thee is whom I have seen.
Oh, what an art of the divine in it!
As if I was enchanted by it.
Heart of the begonia, what a beauty of your existence!
I get enchanted by that existence.
Amidst the world’s toxicity, I chose you.
And my soul touched the divine in you.
Heart of the begonia, you have lifted my eyes’ veil.
It showed me the divine universe by lifting that veil.
Oh, what a beauty in that sight!
I recalled the essence of my soul in that sight.
Heart of the begonia, perhaps we’ll meet in a beautiful mountain again.
In the beautiful dream where we will fall in love again.
The world thinks I am out of my mind.
No, my love, through you I discovered my awakened mind.
Heart of the begonia, I found my half soul in you.
Have you ever searched for me in you?
I love you selflessly without any expectations.
Is it love or lust if I have expectations?
Heart of the begonia, I am blessed to have found you.
As I see the divine in you.

I love your calla Lily lips
Engaging emerald eyes
Heavy hibiscus hips
Creative crimson cries
Falling for daisy yellow you
like blueberry cool rain
Nothing lavender to loose
Always ambrosia green gain
Talk to me sunflower sweetie
Share your jade jasmine joy
Or if heart is begonia bleeding
Let love’s licorice fill violet void
Peony plant me in your magnolia mind
Gardenia grow me red like valentine
We will fuse like forget me nots to spine
Like spider lily of love we climb
Farewell to Spring tears
Will water wisteria hopes
Keep kalanchoe me near
To your Sea Holly holy soul
The sun is a cherry chandelier
Keeping us warm and fuchsia fed
Just as our lovely garden dear
Grows and glows in my head

COLOURFUL
Allium is raising king Spring’s alarm
Easter red bud is shining in red glow.
Freesia sending descent scent to flow.
Crocus is spreading Spring’s first cheerful charm.
Daffodils dance delight in decorum
Hyacinths honor holy Spring to bow
Gorgeous Gardenia loves to grow.
Begonia is beating loud Spring’s drum.
Flowers not extra or season's burden.
Iris idly smiles sweet and shyly nod
Kangaroo paw beautifies mother tree.
Marigold makes merry in Spring-Garden
Jasmine looks gracious as gift of God
Dazzling Lilies glaze, smile and swing in glee.

With the incoming sounds of spring, a resurrection of life,
the chilliness flees. Quote _ by Poet
Ready for a new season, Spring birds
Shake off winter; embracing
The bonniest warmness weather,
Babies born, and color of nature's crowns.
Scarlet Tanagers chatter, flying round,
Feasting on caterpillar's slowness
And beetles boring away that are found;
whilst
Eternal sunlight reft through sturdy limbs
And myriad leaves of the mighty old oak;
Rapid rhythm clatter drum sounds
Of the Woodpecker on its breast shout.
A hum, a garden faintly woo a smile
At song sung by pretty red feather Robin dancing.
A sweet kiss, a seed, the male Cardinal
Feeds his blush pretty mate favor.
Yonder pond, tree boughs
Teasing the water's edge
Whilst
Little Mallard ducklings
Follow mamma to the bank.
Bluebird builds her nest
Right in the heart of the sprouting
Redbud flowering tree.
Camouflage in the red begonia
An orange breasted Oriole
With its sweet enchanting sound.
On the horizon the fire fades out,
Hush around in high perch, tiny roosting
Cold blue moon comes into sight.

A sweet young lassie from Estonia
Was besought by a boy from Bologna
Taking her to a dance,
He wore his best pants
And gave her a corsage of begonia.

Made in the Shade
Ruby Begonia sits in seaside shade
Reading a book and sipping lemonade
Slathers on sunscreen
Her freckles unseen
Miss Ruby won't join the "Nude Beach" parade.

Mist veil in haze, winter unwraps,
A rejoice raptures in reverie of spring.
Amber gold touch of Midas perhaps,
Bees and frilled petals in amorous cling.
A mystical harmony of beauty serene,
Magnolia and tulip, hum for butterfly.
Honeysuckle vines, squirrels in between,
Yellows and purple, rose cheeks feel shy.
Like peacocks bloom, begonia and pansy
Palettes of color, lush in vibrant green
Perfumed breeze...cadence lily in daisy
Petunia with marigold, in rollick are seen.
On canvas of soil, lyric paints a picture,
Sprouting prose...to poetry and sonnet.
Sowing seeds of love, Man nurtures Nature
In pride of his sweat, plants glitter on it.
The harvest of hoe, conjures a treasure
In Glory of Garden, life is born to grow.
Landscape of spring, is short-lived pleasure
Maxim of death,.. in summer.., do they know?

Fiery giant poppies
Cheerful bright chrysanthemum
Spicy scented dianthus
Statuesque amaryllis
Flamboyant hibiscus
Vivacious geranium
Seductive anemone
Exotic calla lily
Ruffled marigold
Bodacious begonia
Luscious dahlia and ludic zinnia
Dress the garden with pure delight
Exuberant in shimmering rays of sunlight
As sweetly the summer zephyr whispers

Charlieku (var of 2-3-4)
engraved bubbling hark! the tinkling
on hard rock with happiness laughter
a pact of love wild daisies of bluebells
blooming the joy begonia
with rising sun of giving sweet promises
chicory no bartering at stake
meditation like a crocus her words
in the woods open up a fleeting touch
silence to warmth of warm breeze
justice- frothy bridge crossing
truth is not indulgence the stream and I
exchangeable morning pleasure skipping
a free deal riding waves soulful
at the grocer’s- living clarity
gossip for the moment chickadee’s song

The orchid moon and I look in kind
at the dimpled ocean's
aubergine plain, meandering thought's
violet caves. I've lost my way
in the lavender vortex
of a tuberous begonia.
A July storm has passed.
Brackish petrichor lilts with the purr
of surf, now jade in lilac light,
unfolding on mulberry sand,
effervescing at my ankles,
gentle as cat fur.
This full moon buoys
out past merlot bluffs,
reposing on a mauve ribbon
between sea and plum sky;
periwinkle stars beg to spark
beside the aura of a steadfast satellite
that casts the grape of night
in fixed solitude.

Oh joy of vibrant spring debut
primroses hue
Daffodils glow
Bluebells floor show
Summer shows her glorious blooms
Roses perfumes
Tulips kisses
Sweet pea blisses
Rustic views of autumns delight
Begonia bright
Cornus flaming
Fuchsia charming.
Minute poetry.

Natures aromas, fragrance naturally disperse
Delightful infusions for our senses to indulge,
Fresh cut grass, delectation, beautiful Ladies purse,
Old English roses bloom with scent they divulge,
Honeysuckle, jasmine, hyacinth, excite nostrils
Inviting participants to go closer, exciting receptors
Within nasal passage, leaving memorable trails
Of pleasurable sweet life giving golden nectars,
Honey scented buddleia, joyful lilies pure, true
Gently Intoxicate, alternating mood docile to virile
On a summers evening, aroma wafting through
Sultry night air, standing on a carpet of camomile,
Essence of Lavender entwined with magnolia
Accentuate our pleasure being experienced
By fragrances, or colourfulness of begonia
Our wonderful aromatic plants can't be replaced.

Early morning sunlight dances
Upon Rebeckia
That bright gold flower of summer's
End, jealous Cassiopeia
The flower boxes receive small
amount of rays
Sunlight draws out blossoms white
On the Begonia today
There is a peaceful feeling here
A touch of quiet settles
The crickets enjoy their time
Before morning's kettle
