Best Petals Poems

In a world full of unwelcome nightmares,
I recite dreams of poetry to the one who cares.

I'm pondering a perfect metaphor,
trying to portray my mum's devotion.
Thinking about what her heart adores,
releases a fountain of emotion.

I'm surrounded by perennial petals and poignant poetry,
yet unable to bloom words...

He was ever gentle with her
always careful
composed
never passing the boundaries
never asking too much
a man of his culture
and bearing
didn’t move too fast

She was a flower
pristine...virginal
a flower he had plucked
from her family’s garden
with their blessing
she was safe in his keeping
though her scent drove him mad
its floral fragrance...

When miserable clouds assemble,
bursting with drops of sorrow,
gusts of torment bring dark tides to your door.
You feel hope is like forgotten pennies,
lost at the bottom of a wishing well.

Arrows of anxiety keep firing
at your muddled mind.

When you feel trapped inside your head,
monsters lurk inside -

One April day when spring was in the air,
I stepped outside so I might relish it.
I came upon a cherry tree so fair,
beneath its limbs I was enticed to sit.

I fell to sleep inhaling fragrant bliss -
the vision of the tree still in my brain.
I...

Beyond her veil;

eyes induced by secretive stars
became drawn to a path illuminated by 
flickering, shimmering pale moonlight.
Each spirited step led to the 
revelation of her secret garden.

But 
upon arrival at her doorstep;
disbelief disabled my soul's delight.
Through the mist all I saw were 
rotten leaves among...

In a quiet Zen garden
the wind sweeps away 
the fallen petals from the cherry blossom
 
In the mountain's shadow
covered with snow
white mountain peaks touch the sky 
under the morning sun

Intertwining and resonating with each other 
the essence of beauty
a beaten path of truth

This life was...

My soul is my guide.. Rumi

I once adored the warmth 
of unreachable desires.
Ascending too high, 
I fell from the sky just like Icarus.
Suffering from the flames of fate,
my eyes resembled a million candles 
burning tears of wax.

But, I've always been familiar with fire,
as I was...

Inside twinkling eyes of nights bloom
          Garden flowers whisper
      Peeking through tree branches, heads nod
         Vines twine graceful arbor crown

A flower blooms - only for a time -
then petal by falling petal, dies.
And faster still when winter settles -
washing white all color from sight.

An heirloom clock wakes sleepy night, 
a new calendar sits on tidy desk,
a still life hanging on shadowed wall -
helps to...

Devotion floats in the
silence of heartbeats -
only lovers savor and devour.

I crawled to her
like a caterpillar.
Cradling in her cocoon -
her vision transformed
me into a butterfly.

She is a love -
for whom
I've left behind
a trail of petals -
to roam within her
eternal evergreen Eden. 

In florescent fragility
of her...

Each day another velvet petal fell
Like somber tears from weeping eyes
A perfect flower was severed to quell
It lay withering as it drooped and died
Perfect flower, from bud to bloom
Sweet-scented rose, it was no wonder
That stifled in that sepulcher room
You were enshrined, awaiting plunder
Sadness lingers in...

I stroll beneath lavish trees 
exploring  the break of morning freely, 
and through a swarm of boughs' embrace
jasmines twirl around the edges 
like a mystical dance of floral sway , 
their perfume...haunting. 

A light breeze awakens,while
crystal dew grows quiet, 
as if grasses were holding...

Inside 
a fantasy,
breathless to be
. . . fluttering, softly swept away . . 
in your poetry, our reality
(tingling, a satisfying sensation, embracing)
Love, petals and Passion 
- longing to sway -
 to stay,
breathless

 Love's pretty flower blooms with beauty in the spring
 Nourished by caress of gentle rain
yet love can break a heart, leave it dangling on a string
 As tears fall upon petals of pain

 Love's pretty butterfly floats on summer breeze
 Seeking love's sweet nectar,...

In a province exploited 
by prejudiced seasons,
a minority ebony rose 
is taunted by prominent 
i v o r y            l i l i e s.
Biased blossoms ridiculing 
tones of its charcoal petals,
yet blooming in...
