Best Uncurling Poems

And a thousand birds chant harmoniously, shrill and vibrant,
Bringing spring to forest creatures and urban dwellers;
Come out, come out and breathe the air,
Drink in the azure sky and the golden sun.

Every tree is bright and fresh and standing tall,
Flowers are uncurling and uncoiling in the...

There, beyond the garden wall, 
Lost among the grass and weeds
A wild rose grew beneath the trees
With fragrance blithe, to fill the breeze
And her petals soft as velveteen...

She is watered and fed by pearls of dew
But is hidden there, where no one knows
Where no one...

There’s magic on the tungsten sea
That brings forth spittle in waves
Like giant sheets of paper uncurling
On a table.
There’s magic in the carrot sunlight
That makes pale skin warm and silky
Like a peach that softly meet’s the
Lips of a beauty.

Impossible is commonplace when mind
And world collide and...

“I am NOT like my father!!!
You say that again, I’m going to kill you!”

I shrivel up in shame
For, I am not to blame
For the shenanigans you put me through so many times
Sometimes, I wish I was no more, but the clock still chimes
 
Yeah, I’m...

Placid river mirrors the majesty in nature
oh glorious spring I succumb to your charms
majestic crisp white blankets hiding the green beneath

Bound to earth are the trees with growing leaves
they search by day and shimmer by night
holding spring starlight like diamond shrines

The sky makes way to...

Outside my window
I watch you
since winter began
to hold your beauty close...

I will protect you
from the rain and cold
as you wear
your grayish-green coat...

when Springtime comes
you will release
your sweet perfume
exotic in all its splendor!

Your beautiful flower
like hands will open
fingers uncurling
your beauty hidden in winter...

New Beginnings

.      Shyly the tender shoots
.       Aspired to reach the skies

Is there any more darkness to find?
I have found myself here again,
And again I am alone.

I have never felt more than a half,
Half of something fragile,
Are you the other part?
Could
We
Just
Try
And
See
If
We
Fit?

We do, it seems.
I'm calming down, uncurling, 
And you're seeing all of me,
Finally, this feels right....

I shattered my own heart,
Wrecking balls, tumbling decisions,
It fell upon me too late,
Forever and now I will lose what I held so dear,

But I held it out at arms length,
I let it fall, the uncurling my fingers,
Sinking into an emotional seat that engulfs me,
I so...

Painted Delilah's, scarlet sirens, apples and bloodshed- 

You tried to teach me to fear the bold obscenities of Red, to be a willing captive within 
conventions of virtue and the expectations that came with my gender and station.

I learned to speak softly, in shades of...

I.

I am devastated by the fire and frost 
of these seasons between separation and divorce. 
No vindictive act quite cures the phantom pain 
that exists only in the emptiness.

II.
Dim capsules pad my senses
and brittle fruits amuse my tongue

rx inhibitions sewn into the folds 
of small...
