Best Grows Poems

A
fine
Parrot Tulip
in vibrant intensities 
with unique undertones
of green acquirable only in a 
few forests. A ruby red swirls within 
its petals beckons awareness of those very 
strokes that live in the lustre of your shapely lips 
like fantasy realized. Mirthful yellows in all those lacquers...

Between the rows and rows of tombs of your beloved gone
I cover all the bones that lay beneath me-
                          ...

Where clover grows and rivers wind
Across green meadows, daisies find
A honeycomb"s sweet pattern weaves
Around the tulips graceful sleeves
In pastel clouds of blue combined

With pinks and purples unconfined
Yellow following close behind
And winter's sister takes her leave
Where clover grows

As hummingbirds and bees remind
Cruel April also can be...

In this field of plantation; 
Where I walk and plant various 
parts of myself around this 
world; 
I sometimes look back and notice 
the trail; 
I recognize the lettuce of charity
I’ve grown constantly through the 
years, 
the tomatoes of kindness which 
resonates red to the...

Darling,

Forty seven years ago, young and in love.
We fell in love on the Bobo-lo Boat.
A mutual acquaintance arranged our date.
I was eighteen and you were twenty.
You took my breath away as our eyes met,
And I must say Dear, you still do today.

Way too young to...

On the rug down by the fire
I place butterfly kisses on your neck
Devoted eyes devour you
With each and every peck,

As I hover above you
Flames flickering in the grate
Our lips the merest touch away 
From the kiss we eagerly await.

We feel the passion building
As ever deeper...

Rose petals blossoming out from the heart softly silk 
starbursts brightly sitting a regal flower kissed 

By loving sunshine sweet glowing beauty dances 
your delicate curling petals so beautiful 

Like a butterfly's wings fluttering eyelids mist
engaged upon a glance sweet fragrance whispered dew 

Embalmed by...

May we always address dis-complacency, the vacancy,
And remove all opposes, to our roses,............................................................(Acts 18:4-6)
Here at Poetry Soup, completing love’s 100% loop, in our soup,

For an authentic rose, from God it grows, always knows,
It’s own heart, from which it grows,

For authenticity’s, dis-complacency
Displaces a rose, from which...

Beneath the sunlit willow lies a rose,
a pink surprise in the morning dew light,
fresh and quietly she tenderly grows.

She's as sensitive as a poet's prose,
God’s gifted us with a marvelous sight,
beneath the sunlit willow lies a rose.

Yesterday morn’ in comfort she arose,
petals flourishing in God’s...

Stretched along the silent winter garden
  thrives a cold, dark dirt blanketed in olive decaying leaves.
Beneath the food of natural fertilizers, life emerges from its long hushed sleep
  in sprouts of pale yellowed seafoam tender tiny greenery
with shoots of seaweed blue tinged daffodills

My smiling Cedric sings to me.
He's loud and often gets off key.

I just don't care cuz he's so fine!
We can't date yet. We're only nine.

     *******************

We’re nineteen. Cedric’s still the one.
Our wedding plans, we have begun.

Although he sings to me sometime,
I...

And when it ripens the scent 
Sends you ecstasy...
