Best Flourish Poems

In Love's Embrace This Soul Shall Flourish
(Collaboration Nicola Byrne and Robert Lindley)


“Beloved, forgive my reservations, for dismay has taken hold;
Though thy love has cast infinite smiles upon a jaded grimace,
I am bound by poisoned notions, of daring actions and desire so bold.
Oh how, in thy...

Well cross my eyes and call me Lucy
Met the sweetest lady of the group
She turns my crank, gets my motor a-racing
For poetry I don't give a poop

Should rename the site “Meet A Sweetie”
More appropriate don't ya think
This real cutie's on my mind the whole day
From...

For crying out loud, the flowers are gorgeous,
Fresh, happy, young, alive, and vivacious.
Regrettably, we, humans, cut their lives short,
From time to time, from events to events.

For God’s sake, let the flowers live like the monuments,
Let them enjoy a long life, like the statues in the...

Relinquish breath as we reach our  s t e e p  peak. 
Let's bathe within our vessels deep inside  
and LET our minds forget to see or speak-
I love you 'neath our sheltered harbor tide.

Where frosty flurries flourish
Sailing silver clouds stop,
Driving drips do nourish
Where would-be rains drop

Above a timbered tundra land
Laden lumber under showy snow,
Pretty piles of icy inches expand
Wild winter winds bellow below

A bathing beauty became the birch
And diamond bubbles graced her lap,
Sparkling clean, crested a new perch
Was...

Long summer days now memories

For leaves are turning now.

A tapestry of pastel hues,

Adorning twig and bough.

Still the elderberry though

Hangs ripe upon the bush,

A final flourish, a luscious gift,

Before winter's coming hush.

Flourish,  
Flourishing as the sun shining you daily 
Rejoicing  as  abundant rain watering your fields 
and creating some dams 
for farming fish and feeding your animals. 
You are burgeoning in the eyes
 of some lazy folks
 who have big mouths 
to talk senseless speeches in...

A thousand simple things will make me smile...
The sleeping form of a precious newborn,
A child's drawing in his artistic style,
Pastel shades of the sky at early morn,
Fairytales of a magic unicorn.
I am amused by hair with corkscrew curls
on heads of adorable little girls.
By puppies tripping...

Rose blossoms, petals flourish,
most colourful in its peak;
A time also comes,
When petals wither,
And fall on land;
Rose lives or dies,
is rarely kept in mind;
life is mortal one day all to die;
Aroma strewed in environ,
relished and adored is it's virtue,
Becomes memory for all;
Life and death is trivial,
But...

Faith has infiltrated one sweet soul,
   As life riddled with sin and stain thereof,
     Emancipation for the spirit being,
       Sought in prayer salvation showed freedom.

Through turbulence and heart ache strength is born,

With a flourish, we coo our call
Pristine childlike intent
Transfixed in a benign bliss squall 
Rapture holds heart content 

As we seek, so it is
That that is, a bliss fizz 
No fears, no thoughts, no quiz

Each breath worship
With a flourish

Blog, On Poetic Contrast,  Between Dark And Light
(My two poems composed -one of dark, one of Light.)
(from my new blog)

The Horrid Night, The Terrible Nightmare

 

In a dance of serpents the long fangs drip

poison falling from needle sharp fang tips

chained here in this dark...

From the ancestors
Generations to generations
Lives carry on like new sprouts 
And flourishing like a jungle
Newborns are our hope
Nowadays newborns are totally different
Imbedded in an aircond surrounding
With love and care
A lot of toys
A lot of playmates
Hyperactive, alert and wise
Will carry on the family tree
And our mission
A...

A chance encounter
Love at first sight 
A cute meet
A romantic encounter
An unarranged fate
A blind date 
Not fortuitous
Not accidental of course
An arranged affair
A chance meet or a blind date 
Both may flourish
What's important 
The ending of the episode
A passionate courtship
A long ,loving marriage
Eternal happiness 
Fate can...
