Best Dahlia Poems

Oh my enchantress dahlia, an inspiration to my muse.
I remember, meticulously planting your bulbs,
so you would bloom in an abundance of colours.

I watched your emerald stalk blossom slowly,
until your sepal gave birth to elegant petals.
Dawn's fresh sun rays glowed to embellish
your myriad tones, glittering with...

The horn section fell off mars
hangin' voodoo tremelos

Crazy eyed jack was there
twitchin' f-stop harmonies

Chandeliers flickered smoke haze
rhythms of green dahlias floating
above 6 minute promises

Amid forever, saturn shifted;
rings penetrated for eternity

Rings penetrated

for eternity

A phantom beauty sheathed within a gown of utter darkness,
Stalks the lonely avenues of Los Angeles, seeking in vengeances
Revenge for her murder to bring him unto justice’s final damnation!
On the corner of thirty-Ninth Street she pauses, in reverence for
The mangled corpus sliced in half, and...

H- Harmonious eloquence perched on the tall stem of natural beauty  
L- Luxuriousness unrivalled by human composition...

She flows, flows while petals spread their vibrant blooms
On April's mural , those lips dare to tease...
Her contours trailing with velour costumes
Wildly ablaze, to ride on spring’s trapeze.

This ambrosial drift which shines ,which glows 
From heaven’s mold granting dahlia's trance
Enchanting a whirl, my shade of...

You stand there!
With desiring lures!
Captivating,
Flattering and flirting,
Scented fragrances,
Attracting!	
Drawing!
Magnetism!
Creating happiness,	
Without a word,
You entice,
Reflect
And seduce,
Temperature intensifies,
Your beauty blooms,
Time stands still,
Capturing my heart,
I’m taken!
To a far distant land,
Riding on clouds,
Of heaven.

I crossed the road in front of a red 1947 Oldsmobile. Horns 
honking throughout the city. She sounded young and free on the 
phone when she called last night. Not meaning to clip the wing 
mirror I step on to the sidewalk. The driver tipped...

Dahlia dreams blooming with the scent of you;
Our sweet Summer adventures I inhale, 
luscious moments felt too good to be true; 
Through my closed eyes I see every detail, 
passing quickly time is so very frail; 
The colors in the flowers fading now 
as they...

Glazed eyes shrouded
in an ivory face
Dark hair in knotted tangles
A look as haunting
as the Devil himself

Fragile shoulders on 
a body like twig
Bowed under the burden 
fate has bestowed
Shivering in the summers breeze
Like a leaf, ripped apart
in an August wind

What horrors lie beneath
The ghostly exterior
What sins...

JERUSALEM
Collaboration with Dalia Shahein (Jordan). Posted here on PoetrySoup, 04/21/2017

I, First
My Salem, my shalom, maybe yours as well -
Be well; build a well again – we’ll all be well, or
Better than before in Jerusalem of the heart
Whose Jerusalem made Jesus weep?
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, You who...

This spring, pink dahlia blooms
Burst forth in vibrant hues
Their beauty is enough to consume
All who stop to count on their views

Petals soft akin to angel's wings
With shades that dance and play
A symphony of pinks that sing
And brighten up the day

Their centers, golden and bright
A beacon...

Dreaming dahlia delicate and demure
Looking sleepy in solitude, taking a rest
You enhance the garden, showing your pure
Out of all the flowers, I love you the best...
