Best Honeysuckle Poems

out my glass window
sways the silenced sunflower
facing herbs of gold
and silver-winged butterflies
glazed in honeysuckle hope

But in this darkness 
I knit lyrical tankas;
Ink that unchains gate
to glistening moon gardens
where I'll flee from heartless ghosts

So if tomorrow
there's no poetry or prose
remember these words
as these are suppressed daydreams
of...

You bloomed in heartbeats of cream daisy,
longing to be born like breaths of
gold honeysuckle petals,
but, when fate smeared silence
on twinkling throbs of
innocence, life
sighed in crisp
embers
of
faith
as your
feet basked in
peace above earth.
Weaving shine with a
pearly smile, you swirled in
a snow-white lily's soul when
heaven melted in moonstruck sight;
I'll...

I trail across your sturdy wall,
spreading the warm scent of friendship
upon the dew-laden air;
my arms are airy tendrils, growing, stretching,
becoming determined vines of love
that climb across high barriers,
reaching you inside your mighty fortress.
My sweet fragrance travels with the breeze
blessing you wherever you may be,
calling you...

gentle evening breeze
honeysuckle perfumed air
promise of summer

inhale of sweetness
floral scent of paradise
memories linger

stars sparkle down smiles
fullness of what is to come
moment eternal

Holding on with slender vines that gracefully twine the fence.
Ornately draping fragrant blooms, the hummingbirds like best.
'Neath, in your shade, the rabbits rest in the noontime sun.
Evening breezes bring your calming scent across the lawn.
Your tender shoots reach out, like a child's hand that wants...

I relax in the shade of the whitewashed porch
as my gnarled hands caress the arms
of the creaking rocking chair -
it was my late Gran’s favorite possession

I’ve been fortunate to be able to lease her cottage
the temperate climate here boosts my spirits
My once rosy complexion is...

delicate tendrils
wrapped around willow trellis
perfume fills the air

I chose this theme as I adore the delightful pale yellow flowers and sweet scent of the honeysuckle blossom lingering on the breeze

H unger drives small wings to follow-
O n search of nectar to swallow.
N atures own sweet drink to borrow-
E ven if morning dew falls tomorrow.
Y ummy blossoms drench zealous air-
S ifting through briers with flair.
U nderneath the weeping willow-
C olored spouts in sun kissed yellow-

Dig up running honeysuckle
It seems to resist demise
Wraps its long slender arms around
The Clematis my prize

It has coked out the lilies fair
Left little space for bulbs
Why birds did you use that space
To defecate a tub

Those seeds digested prolific
Honeysuckle runs wild
No place for something aggressive
In my...

Butterflies, Honeysuckle Breezes and Poetry  


I try, I swear I try,
but you are always there,
touching my thoughts with wonder,
bringing desires to my mind
on endless wishes
cast upon continuous ripples,
rapidly forming with every breath I take

Evening brings the sunset
in multicolored shades of how I feel
Reaching for...

"Honeysuckle"



"life is just peachy"
this is what she said

I was considering 
her nonchalance
how can people 
be all sunny side up
this late in the day
when roses have thorns
and seersucker’s dead 
my side was covered 
in Winter shadows

I was considering
all this and more 
when he came walking
through my...

Cognac & Brandy recollections,
   sublime warmth 'tween
        smoky exhaled vapors,
wisps of  Madagascar aromatics 
       & blazes of Autumn firesides
    amidst a French Château fantasy,
  dipped...
