Best Lilac Poems

When rooted promises shift through dusts of seasonal change,
from a kyanite blue breeze to whirling wisps of lilac longing.
Memories live on, as nothing of value is ever lost. ...

I hope you would still remember me as we were,

every time you see pristine 

passing pomegranate hues of the horizon.

When clouds smear our unspoken love 

in inexplicable figurines,

of those simple moments we 

reignited beneath our own twilight, 

reliving our dreams in 

remaining rosy dialects of...

He gave her a Rose what else could he do
her bands so tied a one way avenue
though not Red nor White or hard to find Blue
a token to hide from kin’s retinue.

He gives her a smile to bridge hyper space
he’s let her down his prowess...

Eggs
 Laid on
 Milkweed leaves,
 Caterpillars
 Soon emerge and weave
 Through the plant as they feast
 Then cocoon, a week at least
 On a warm spring day, when it's right
 A butterfly takes its maiden flight

Wan is the hiemal world outdoors, 
The biting breeze blows bitter,  
like a blizzard building in momentum, 
Cold creeps in through the closed windows,
But his harmonic heart is happy and warm, 
touched by tantalizing tingles of tender tunes.

"I love the silent hour of night,/ For blissful dreams may then arise,
Revealing to my charmed sight / What may not bless my waking eyes." from first verse of Anne Brontë's "Night"

tarrying in lilac dreams
I flower in full sunlight
where I flirt with butterflies
and gleefully kiss...

Lilac Hours

In the gallivanting shadows of old days romance,
a time when courting had a real finesse,
marriages were made in movements of a dance
to which the ladies would so kindly acquiesce.

July evenings bought a quiet moonlit rendezvous 
with a caller usually dressed as soldiers might.
Radios were...

how i love when lilac shrubs burst into bloom
awaking the world with bold perfume
generous endowed bouquets
melt away dull greys
bring to life
sunshine
banning strife
as we all rejoice
stirring feelings giving voice
announcing finally summer's here
lilac blooms bring us such long awaited cheer

golden beams of dawn
are glinting amber prairies--
smiles of daffodils

enchanting day break
are red, white, purple tulips--
pride of early spring

waltzing lilac winds
charm violet hyacinth--
gems on windowsills

So strange this land, old and yet young.
Where is this place of tall green trees,
and grey-haired men in unknown tongue?
they must have traveled summer's breeze.

Adobe brick quonset "chalets"
mud-soaked roadways in all the blocks.
WACs and wives and waifs everyday
midst hollyhocks and four o'clocks.

Los Alamos*, this place...

A dusk, a glazed verandah, it's just rained,
a smell of lilac, earthworms and wet earth,
an awkward silence - the confusion chained
my tongue: “What if she’ll laugh at? Is it worth?”
A glass of wine casts the vermilion shade
over a tablecloth, a rocking chair
sways quietly, its oscillations...
