Bonsai, tree-flower
Make me small enough
To sleep in your shadow...

As I walked among the Bonsai Trees
Feeling no  physical attraction at all 
Figuring I had come this far 
Why not
Give you a chance to be a 'WE'
I put my arm in yours  
It felt ok
I was real 
And I believed you were like...

Jade Bonsai - Haiku

low light tolerant
wax green by black rocks landscape 
small tree, giant dreams...

Volcanic clay soil 
Interwoven roots through rocks;
Pruned limbs reach for sun....

though old still virile
bent but untrained by the wind
 bonsai beautiful 
where white scented blossoms grow
your copper wired cane holds...

You Texas Cuspidata!
Not you, and not a curse:
Taxus cuspidata, for Japanese Yew!

So, don’t confuse a plant with the Ibex
Ilex serrata – that’s Christmas Holly
Or Japanese Winterberry

Butterflies, butternuts, a Buttinsky?
Shut your eyes, it’s Conocarpus erectus
(Pastor here is only saying "Buttonwood" in Latin)

Meanwhile in nature, the pines...

Immersed in his thoughts -
how to give it a shape - dreams,
Bonsai gardener ;
If I could place a banyan
over my heart - to take rest

From a small little twig, grew a new seedling.
A slim and straight pine tree..leaves needling.
In evergreen make-up, it's branches spread.
Impatient to rise high, to clouds overhead.

But where is the woodland? Where is the snow?
Roots searched restless..a ground ..lost long ago.
A Bonsai Nursery.... fuzzied an occult...

dry and stiff,
still standing lifelessly on my coffee table,
pieces falling slowly below,
even in death the glow of my 19-inch TV comforts you,
even if I thought more chemical plant food would sustain you through my negligence.
"Plants need water!" my mom tried to say,
but I believed you...

Bonsai


You captivate me with the softness of your words.
Intellectual thoughts let me see your truth.
My heart beats faster inside your ozone.
My Bonsai Princess; my sweet unknown.


Only in your hands could I ever be brought to life.
Only with you at my side would I ever need...

Two bonsai trees 
craving for clouds 
a few handfuls of rain

spiky nuggets 
crying wine glass
fasting salivas 
all might drench
taking the wrench off
the frontal lobe
letting a sprout 
lift it's face

calling lips
on pointed  treetops

inside a great, shiny armor
made with metals from everywhere
resides a little, cute tree
afraid of everything else.

the questions from inside
keeps him awake at night.
how can he be so quiet,
a heart so full of pride?

letting the mind occupied
and forgetting the heart so tired.
the perfection of the silence

Ancient sages said,
In their words;
There will be time,
Of bonsai world;
One eyed rulers,
Will always wish,
Their people blind;
Give less space; 
Let grow in tiny pots;
Chop the extra growth, 
Of awareness roots;
Feed less wisdom,
Than the needs;
Weak demos displays,
The strength of the reign; 
Teach only to worship,
Extol the ruler's...

Supreme roots hold primeval
Atop of stone....
