Best Bloomed Poems

A field afire
papery petals glow like ruby votive candles
a collection of cupped solar flames
vowed to shine despite the dew before dawn
evaporating any doubt the sun would rise
the mist would lift 
consoling one in darkness

Rising up where wildflowers past have fallen
victim to soil fallow and shallow

Where lilacs bloomed, I spied a brown-haired child.
She, riveted by what was in her book,
did not see me! She wore a wistful look.
I guessed her to be somewhat shy and mild.

The girl at last looked up and showed surprise
to see me standing there to study...

Amidst the broken woods
Sprout the flowers hued;
Under the harlequin wonders
Euphoric fairies play and wander
Sans seeds these floras arise

I found myself in the garden of roses;
How sweet the sight of roses,
Sweetness that no word can name
And each holds in its heart a torch of flame.

I saw a new bloomed rose,
A red rose
That thrills the soul,
And makes the heart roll.

The spell was over,
Reality came...

One glowing dawn he came ,

With a rose in his hand.

Rain drops were still there,

Though not over him.

“God! He was melting away!

Why are all those clouds about, Mark?

Don’t you know I have always waited for you…

I  waited for you long and long.”

“Dude! My voice...

The streets where I grew up on was no place for the weak or disenfranchised to be 
born. For just like the Venus fly trap it could eat you alive or crush your dreams. From the 
time you awake until the sunrise in the east?...

With his baggy overalls 
And a worn, plaid cap,
The old farmer recalls 
With a piglet in his lap 

Seated on the porch swing
Of his aging farmhouse, 
He saw not a thing ...
But the life of a louse

A barn roof bowed
Stressing sparse board,
Tractor's down the road
Needs...

A flower bloomed amongst the desert floor
It look like it had been bitten
Bitten by a wild wolf that had lost itself.
Its petals were torn 
Its stem was bruised
Yet it held itself steadfast and strong
As the winds flew by, it held onto the floor
Beautifully it swayed...

That was the place of our first encounter, a grove that
painted our inner feelings, much more on these smiles
lit by sunshine; that was our favorite refuge when spring
gave us her wonderful gift, and dreaming we fell asleep.

Both moon and stars gleamed over us and thin...

Bloomed there are the starry flowers of life
On the twilight landscape of gold springtime,
The time horse runs far from the wood of Frost
Though the dream holds the sleep very warmly,
Crunchy leaves flow with the south gentle wind
Soggy meadows wrap the sunlight in ground
Steam hot under...

I bloomed in the cascade of your bosoms,
My tears rippled and echoed out like the 
Vibration of love itself
It was raw and pure like natures birthing
My mind pulsated with madness as I sank
Into you, both of flesh and in spirit
O yes our spirits, as they...

Her gentle touch, words left unspoken, a mother's love is never broken. Inside her womb, a beating heart, began and bloomed, you got your start. Witness to you, as you drew a first breath, she is ever present, not severed by death. Her influence on...
