YOU ARE MY FLOWER
You are a flower watered by pure desire
Of a young heart so deep in love
A red rose in the sun, you are my flower.
I know you are a flower ready to blossom
Gracefully dancing away in the wind of autumn
I know you are my flower never to whither
You are a flower

Cupid’s Canopy Over Silent Sonnets
Written: July 06, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Craig Cornish
*****************
My path was unkempt, with cracked and bent signs
The once-azure sky turned gray, and my muse faded
Cursed seraphs hovered under lifeless skies, weeping.
In the

Canopy Swing
One of my favorite places to be
is my bench swing with a canopy
I swing and float in the air
Problems don't exist, they are no-where
My swing, faces the backyard and beyond
Sometimes rain puddles in the field, a pond
A train of clouds often travel the open sky
I lift my feet, while I watch them go by
The

The perfect canopy
Sparkling behind your smeyes
Unmined orange diamond lies
Burning in opulent grace
Ashes left; in them hearts I trace
Is that a glint in your eyes?
You do know they're absolute fire?
I'm an insect, drawn to my funeral pyre.
There's much joy in being burned by their love.
They are only eloquence; wordless yet articulate
Raking the colors to set a blaze of

Autumn's Burnished Canopy
"Autumn knows a mother's heart.
It gives and then lets go."~ Angie Weiland-Crosby
How proudly she stood, surmounting the tallest hill,
a blazing maple tree whose limbs spread far and wide.
In Summer, her green leaves swayed upon soft breezes,
but Autumn painted them shades of crimson and rust.
A burnished canopy, gilded by golden rays of the sun.
Ruffled

Autumn
A colorful breeze of falling leaves
Under the canopy of tall trees
The sky is clear and picturesque
Unusually beautiful blue blessed
Making lovers of fall so happy
Now embracing autumn laughing

Embrace of the Canopy
Poem on Sloth and Nature
Throws itself around on its tail,
Trees wrapped between its globe,
Shallow pools reflect in repeat
It’s all it sees now,
Dried up meadows,
During the summer rays,
The trees cool off,
Humid air rises on,
Delicate branches,
Made just for itself,
To wrap around,
And hang upside down,
Its world is all that it sees,
The trees between each

Under the Moonlit Canopy of Forgotten Dreams
Under the Moonlit Canopy of Forgotten Dreams,
I drift through corridors where shadows whisper the untold,
You, my dear man, a phantom presence within,
A figure engraved in the fragile tapestry of my past.
Oh, forgive the storms I summoned when you chose to depart,
The anger that erupted, the threats that fractured our silence.
I saw your gentle ways as

Under the canopy of stars, each a distant echo of an unfulfilled dream
Under the canopy of stars, each a distant echo of an unfulfilled dream,
I walk, my footsteps barely touching the earth, as if Terra herself fears the weight of my contemplation.
I am the seeker of immortal dreams, the weaver of fragile hopes,
In this sacred dance of light and shadow, where the soul meets its reflection.
Oh, how

Beneath the night's canopy, the stars stretch out their shimmering silk
Beneath the night's canopy, the stars stretch out their shimmering silk,
Over rooftops, trembling a dreamy blue.
The moon, our gentle beacon, walks sadly among gardens,
Guarding, perhaps, the dreams of the sleepers, in her divine silence.
Midnight strikes, the late hour, the mystery begins to weave,
I know that you, too, far away, in your night, cannot find rest.
Your

Beneath the forest's canopy, the bluebells glimmer in quiver
Beneath the forest's canopy, the bluebells glimmer in quiver,
Dancing on a carpet of blue, flowers that lead in the ether.
A bass clef fluttering of nectar's verse, they open secret trails,
And quietly, tiny creatures carve their path in the azure.
Their scent, a hidden murmur, is a whispered echo from the sky,
They envelop in dustings of blue,

In the Canopy of Filtering Light
“Light pervades us. It wants to embrace us. Gloom is its barricade.”

In the hope of this light I walk,
I'm not held by the night of yesterday,
Neither am I saddled by the tempest

A Canopy of Light
“Words speak volumes”
even the few, or the one
when chosen wisely –
let us not confound
quality with quantity –
like an honest kiss
on a barren cheek
at the right time
trumps a deluge of
well rehearsed slobbering –
greening trees
blossoming meadows
we share with all
Nature bold and
brilliant, scented
fondness,
breathe in and out
exhaling blessed
necessity –
taking selflessly
from one another
enfolded, raptured
within
