Best Flourishing Poems
Spring arrived in yard.
To be nested and flourish
home waits vacations
FLOURISHING WITH ROSY CHEEKS
bright lights burn
singe my flesh
our hearts aflame
strokes of rays
from north to south
luminary climax
moon-cradled
in my spouse’s arms
splash of serenity
the dawn’s touchdown
taps my feet, flickers
caffeinated candlelight
another day burns
brighter than its ancestor
a relative blush

Mythical verdant
Overshadows woodland backdrop
Enhancing the view
Squalidness—Squabbling squeamishly;
Scrutinizing stigmatized scandalization, substantially scarce
Sprightliness...skeptically surrendering
Shamefully—Scolded sardonically;
Snarling splenetically, severing sensibility, scowlingly simmering
Strenuously...sought survival
Sparring—Sinister sisters;
Seductively swiveling soreness, sarcastically snared, swirling
Storms...sporadically striking
Slowly—Sacrificing stories;
Scorching slanderous subversiveness, suffering suffocation
Senselessly...smoldering serendipity
Sinfully—Silent stranger;
Sneaking skillfully staring
Presumptuously—Pursuing pretentiousness;
Promises protruding pithiness,
Potential problems...penetrating
Frantically—Forsaken fantasizes foresee;
Different Man Flourishing...
Suspiciously—Supplication solicited;
Subjectively settling, storms subdue, spontaneously subsiding
Surprisingly...sanctuaries submerged
Sobriety—Soaked scathingly;
Staleness spun savagely, strangely straying, sprung
Scourging...southern spiral
Suddenly—Solitude strangling;
Shallow significants seedily surrounds scrupulousness, slumbering
Spitefulness...shunning sympathy
Systematically—Struggling swiftly;
Skulking shadows slithering, seized sanity, seething
Stragglers scrapping...smuggling
Supposedly—Soberness swarming;
Sunrises selectively swerving, sunsets scattering
Emotionally—Erraticism encouraged;
Enduring essential enemies,
Equivocal excursions...escalating
Hereupon—Heretics hushed hereafter;
Different Man Henceforth...
Relentlessly—Reaping ramifications;
Remorsefully relapsing regrettably, resentful realization recognizing
Reflection...refusing reality
Condescendingly—Condemning contradictions;
Cautiously concealing contortions, conducting contrived conniptions
Conscientiously...capricious consciousness
Arrogantly—Acquiring awareness;
Ignorantly ignoring ideologies, deceitful dramatic disagreements
Transpire...transitioning transgressions
Occasionally—Ostracizing occurs;
Overthinking orchestrates overreactions, obsessively obtaining optimization
Brazenly—Begged, blindingly became;
Different Man Behindhand...
So those long sought days are here.
Grass turns green.
Emollients, making their way
to nourish buds, stop,
for the sake of
pollination, moisture
become the hero,
uds sit, waiting for sunlight
waiting for sunlight
Then, becoming modified,
No longer are they buds,
earing beaut;
as if, created by a skilled hand
Flourishing Love
Though I thought I wouldn't be able to love,for i have loved and lost.But you,how did you fill that hole that resounds inside of me? Can't I even think of anything else then what i have lost look at what i have gain so beautifully.This love in which is in both of us this love which resounds over and over again in my heart.How do love know how does it build until it is certain I am in love because I found you.You are now all I think about your everything I want.I no longer hurt myself I no longer feel dead,I am once again alive.There is love between us there is love where there shouldn't be for I thought I had lost all meaning to feel for love.But here it is and I hope it stay forever until I die or at least until we fall in love more with each other or for someone else.This beauty pure love shall grow hall be our harmony and we will sing to it forever even if i road shall split this shall be our song our song of love.Our flourishing our pure our our love is perfect.
Tended with diligent care and toiling
Prayed for against pest attack so severe
Being nurtured by God’s bountiful grace
Our church gardens* are flourishing indeed.
Abundant green and leafy vegetables
Sway healthily exuding their nutrients:
Camote, alugbati, and sili
Likewise, ampalaya, talong, okra.
Herbarium corner shouts vim and vigor
Since herbs serve with supplements’ readiness
There’s aloe vera; here’s serpentina
Sambong on the right; herbabuena, too.
Hedged with bamboos are ornamental plants
Vines and ivies find solace in their nook
Robust bushes, “fortune” and “welcome” reign
As shrubs of pink petiole and red gold peep.
Blest to be refreshed from these garden sites
I then linger near the acasia tree
Savoring oxygen breathed out freely
Thanking the Creator for flora-wealth.
Such is our Botanical Ministry
Offering sweet replenishment from stress
With greeneries’ beauty of wellness strength
Toward invigorating service-bliss.
*Jeremiah 29:5 …Plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

Frostwork on my window; and finally
the crystal-white, laced-flowers
of yours are blooming now.
Feel free to explore my future fondly as we erase the horrid memories of our vast past that zips by our minds so fast
Peel away the pain with jovial self-control
Faith is always going to remain in you and I, so have no fear and I bless you with worry-free embraces and kisses of plentuous pleasurably prosperous passion
Eh, just strengthen yourself up and face your fears... Don't be hesitant and reserved all the time - being timid makes anyone look like an idiot one way or another
A woman named Eleganté wants to marry you so that you and her could be stabilized, secure and surreal individuals...perfection is an illusion we all fall in love with unfortunately
Feel free to make sexy love while I try to think of a way to break free from my cowardice ways... I am scared and freaking out right now, so save me from death, oh Lord of Host...virtuous, prudent patience shields me from negativity and conmotion altogether
Fine, I understand that this life is fleeting, but let me increase my faithfulness bit by bit as my spirit and I see fit...hoping that bravery can see me through the hurt I felt in the past and am feeling in the present at the moment - I am as bold as a bald eagle, taking wing from on high fervently and confidently not to mention that I am triumphantly impressed by your extroverted genuiseness...My flourishing foubdation is like a godly tent in the wilderness of Agape love and devotion alike...I love you, Lord, from the beginning until the end and you as well, my friend
trapped, in bitter anguish, heart flourishing in the greenhouse

gardens in full bloom
fledglings abandon their nests
summer's flourishing
deceit pumps through her veins
fuel to her black soul
daggers fly from her mouth
effortlessly piercing victims
ungrateful
ignorant
deceptive
pseudo companion
fraudulent friend of mine
treason
the basis of her existence
thriving off every betrayal
every perfidy
fantastic fink
spectacular snitch
spewing infidelities
never ceasing to demoralize the righteous
corrupt manipulation of the innocent
puncturing the enervated
a ghost of regret
chasing me
haunting me
lurking in the shadows
eager to invade
and conquer me
devouring every shred of elation
yearning for deliverance
Flourishing goddess, in your effervescent wisdom,
You uplift and encourage us women
Your positivity brings us a consciousness of optimism
We appreciate your love and inspiration
Flourishing goddess, with your heart of a lion
Your spiritualism of a cosmic being
You continue to support and love us
We could not be whole without you
Climbing the bushes
Longing for sunlight
And saying hello to the morning walkers
Or the happy school children
Plenty sunshine more flourishing
It sees to the rise and fall of the village
When most people stay closed in
It still ventures out loitering
To see to the safety of the neighbourhood
It escorts the pedestrians if any
And any brave wanderers
With a sweet and hearty smile
And a best gesture
Hello,friend
enchanting daisies,
they glow in the radiant light,
summer nature's gift.
