Best Hibiscus Poems
I want to swim in the golden rivers
of your heavenly haven,
wading through every swirl and twirl flowing in splendiferous streams.
Taste of your warmth courses down ruffles within my ribs,
pulsating your name in assonant motions.
In your moonlit eyes I’ve found the lost poem,
missing from my once hollow heart.
You are the metaphorical master,
with a plethora of poetic keys,
deciphering hieroglyphics syllables,
ceaselessly obscuring vehement vanity,
endured through violent torrents of torment.
In your arms I found a euphonious sanctuary,
calming stormy edges from a malignant abyss,
there I saw grey on silvery nights,
until you breathed poetry into my fingertips.
Words began to bloom amongst
deep ruby wine dahlias,
where seasons never wilt internal imagination.
I still remember the night we embraced a new year,
as fireworks lit up the highest mountains between us.
Revealing incandescent morning stars,
with your infectious smile,
I knew then, you were the acrylic home
I was sketching on sunflower panoramas.
In your voice I've already seen spring,
sowing seeds of hibiscus promises,
hydrating delicate dreams—
drifting with withering ferns and flowers,
imprinted from roots of fate,
ascending mauve memories to cloud nine,
where clipped feathers attain nirvana,
to love until the sun burns into ashes.
her silken skirt flows
displaying her slender leg
and beautiful toe
as she sways rhythmically
to the notes of breeze
Symbol of the Goddess Kali full of bliss
The Rose of Sharon or Hibiscus
Frilly petals grace trumpets
Make tea for crumpets
Tropical
lover
Never Dull
Butterflies and bees
Drunk like hummingbirds, so pleased
Wear if married or single so fair
Hibiscus, your colors have beauty and flair

She arrived the year I thought I broke free
From the seductive hold of art and all art-meets
I shunned the temptation
But she broke into my tube
Televising purpose and purple hibiscus
Her first fine flower of an early budding
In an enchanting voice and visage...
And something in me sought to pluck
At the comind of Half of a yellow sun
I trod from La Campaign Tropicana to Jazzhole
To keep a date with a daydream;
Sniffing into all the farflung path of her purple
Hibiscus
And there she was,the lady in my tube
I gazed longingly upon a stately sight with a well-
Laid out body structure
That mates so well with her sentence structure
There she was,the ancient child in a haste to change.
a day so happy
hibiscus all around me
tears another day.
A single red hibiscus flower
Waits for me this very hour
In my garden small and quaint
Reminding me of one dear saint.
Who knew me when
I was a dream back then
Before my time and hour came
Giving my heart its burning flame.
While here I rest, ponder and gaze
At this beauty of beauties in the shade.
Amazed at the way it bends in the breeze
As if genuflecting next to me
Hands together, petal to petal
Love upon me gently settles
Deep within my aching heart
Praying for a brand new start.
Here inside this garden gate
Where whispers of my mother waits
With love beyond the grave’s cold ground
In this red hibiscus flower found.
A red hibiscus as pretty as can be,
Thrives on my porch for all to see.
The blooms are spectacular but quickly die,
They are carpe diem personified.

Faint light
distant moon
Hibiscus sleeping
Fading pink Petals,
Resolute to die,drooping
Towards gravel grave.
Sprinklers cast,their last goodbye,
Daybreak:whites now your color.
Oh,the Noble Hibiscus!
I love your vibrant colors
Red,pink,yellow,white,
you are the harlequin wonder!
Oh,the noble hibiscus
I love your mushy velvet touch
such a soft pulpy skin you have
which I never want to crush
Oh,the noble hibiscus
I love your mild fragrance
that does not harm us
but certainly mesmerize
Oh,the noble hibiscus
I love your innocent grin
even in the agony(pluck)
make me think, Have I sinned?
Oh,the noble hibiscus
I love your geneorsity,
Appeasing nature,
and I adore your modesty
Oh,the noble hibiscus
Your beauty I can easily steal
Attaining your inner beauty
is still impossibly surreal

Bee on Hibiscus
Bee on Hibiscus
Proved to be promiscuous
Did dart in and out.
A fair assumption
After all his consumption
She is his honey.
Both were quite a pair
Nothing like a horse and mare
Who chores both will share.
Is one of them you?
Who makes all my dreams come true
Vote for sure must do.

Hiding Behind A Hibiscus
Had been hiding behind a hibiscus
When we planned on being promiscuous
Can your imagine her big breasts
Looked just like two bird nests;
Did discover flower was deciduous.
