Buds Poems

In spring, love crept like a timid stream among the early buds of my soul

In spring, love crept like a timid stream among the early buds of my soul,
I remember your eyes like the azure sky, enchanting me with every glance, an old and new spell,
On a country road we walked, hand in hand, treading on the whispers of the earth awakened from slumber,
Then we kissed under the budding

Life to Death and Back

Haibun

In the forest dark and deep, naked trees stripped by winters
icy grip. Bony fingers point skyward toward their tormentor.
Branches creak like old arthritic joints with every breath of breeze.
 Life blood is stored snugly in their snow- covered feet waiting for the first
ray of sunshine of the new season to melt the white blanket.

taste buds carry messages

how many taste buds do we have? Asked the tongue.
Thousands she told her, discerning them looks like fun!
First I would organize them into the right kitchen bin.
Sweet, salty, sour, or bitter, placing them in the right tin.
Taste buds carry messages to the eating seating brain.
Your sense of smell helps you determine taste in the rain.

At the crossroads of time, where April flinches in buds parted

At the crossroads of time, where April flinches in buds parted,
Spring dwells in the temple, a priestess in a procession of timid lights.
A gentle breeze blows, carrying dreams stormy on the orbit of the stars,
Through the tumult of vegetation, it is reborn - the wild and untamed soul of the earth.
The murky water heads toward

Upon wings of dream and time, love buds unseen

Upon wings of dream and time, love buds unseen,
Not every fate quickens it in the ephemeral dance of form and hour,
It, the profound love, the one that forges destiny in souls, is like a spell,
Flying over stereotypes, over the labyrinth of the Matrix that confines dreams.
How rare it is in the fabric of days to

Buds Forever

Stoners of the world unite

Buds in hand let's sing a song

Someone please give me a light

I just filled my beaker bong

Tantalizing

The tastes of spring jostle
my taste buds to awaken.
To stand up,
Get poked out on tongue.
Then to flick and lick, from the very tip of my tongue.
Savoring the tantalizing, titillating, tit-bit tastes,
that spring in season, rendered in bounteous bounty harvests,
from berries, fruits, peas, herbs, beans and juices.
Premeditated, contemplated and jazz-jammed
to razzmatazz improvisations and mantras
by scents wafting

Buds of Spring

On a dark dreary spring day
where the buds 
cling to barren trees
with no spring rain
the process is slowed
tiny hints of green
peak out from buds
a new season of rebirth
as winter mould disappears
flowers begin to peak
from their long rest
wanting the sun's warmth
to push forward growth
each year brings changes
the dryness or wetness
will determine the outcome
of what is to

Taste Buds

My taste buds can't seem to shake
Off the sweet tastes of the towns food
It takes me back to the holy month of Ramadhan
When they'll be various vendors selling food 

I loved how people would buy together
Everyone buying and piling it in one sinia
And they'd all eat as one
Even the one who doesn't have gets to

Delight In the Buds

Delight in the buds
    popping out on the trees
  Bathe in a southerly breeze
    It's over eighty degrees  

  The calendar cautions
    This is too early!
  'Don't you dare enjoy this'
    Its countenance surly ... 

  How long

Let New Buds Bloom

In the abyss of fallen doubts
  in the fire of hope
in an effort to conquer yourself,
  I part with the past remains,
with leaves that withered in winter,
to sprout new buds
Bloom my flowers
  penetrate the sadness 
and tear it apart with your Love
   Let new life arise...
