Dahlia Poems

The Mexican Dahlia

The Mexican Dahlia tinged in burnt orangey-red makes me sigh 
                    as I slumber in a midsummer terra-cotta July sky~ poet
               

Dahlia

Let me be your dreamcatcher,
Just as you are mine.
My feathers and my beads,
No longer intertwined.

Let me be your moon,
And you can be my star.
Your sun spots and my craters
Make us what we are.

Dahlia

I sing a song that has never been sung before
I Remember all the times we spend writing everything we felt
And still the words have a hard time finding a page
Words can't explain
The love I feel all the times we rose above through trial and error
We never failed to rise to the top
To learn to say

An ode to Dahlia

Oh my enchantress dahlia, an inspiration to my muse.
I remember, meticulously planting your bulbs,
so you would bloom in an abundance of colours.

I watched your emerald stalk blossom slowly,
until your sepal gave birth to elegant petals.
Dawn's fresh sun rays glowed to embellish
your myriad tones, glittering with dewdrops.

You flourished in shades of burgundy and ivory,
scarlet with hues

Dreaming dahlia delicate and demure
Looking sleepy in solitude, taking a rest
You enhance the garden, showing your pure
Out of all the flowers, I love you the best

Pink Dahlia Blooms

This spring, pink dahlia blooms
Burst forth in vibrant hues
Their beauty is enough to consume
All who stop to count on their views

Petals soft akin to angel's wings
With shades that dance and play
A symphony of pinks that sing
And brighten up the day

Their centers, golden and bright
A beacon for all to foresee
Drawing in bees and butterflies
To sip nectar

Dahlia Dreams

Dahlia dreams blooming with the scent of you;
Our sweet Summer adventures I inhale, 
luscious moments felt too good to be true; 
Through my closed eyes I see every detail, 
passing quickly time is so very frail; 
The colors in the flowers fading now 
as they give way to Fall with a soft bow; 
Trapped in

Jerusalem For All: Repost Collaboration With Dahlia Shahein of Jordan April 21, 2017

JERUSALEM
Collaboration with Dalia Shahein (Jordan). Posted here on PoetrySoup, 04/21/2017

I, First
My Salem, my shalom, maybe yours as well -
Be well; build a well again – we’ll all be well, or
Better than before in Jerusalem of the heart
Whose Jerusalem made Jesus weep?
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, You who kill the Prophets …”
Forgive me, Redirect me, as your beloved

Dahlia

You stand there!
With desiring lures!
Captivating,
Flattering and flirting,
Scented fragrances,
Attracting!	
Drawing!
Magnetism!
Creating happiness,	
Without a word,
You entice,
Reflect
And seduce,
Temperature intensifies,
Your beauty blooms,
Time stands still,
Capturing my heart,
I’m taken!
To a far distant land,
Riding on clouds,
Of heaven.

Dahlia In a Whirl

She flows, flows while petals spread their vibrant blooms
On April's mural , those lips dare to tease...
Her contours trailing with velour costumes
Wildly ablaze, to ride on spring’s trapeze.

This ambrosial drift which shines ,which glows 
From heaven’s mold granting dahlia's trance
Enchanting a whirl, my shade of yellows...
Like me, she curls into a floral dance!

The Black Dahlia

A phantom beauty sheathed within a gown of utter darkness,
Stalks the lonely avenues of Los Angeles, seeking in vengeances
Revenge for her murder to bring him unto justice’s final damnation!
On the corner of thirty-Ninth Street she pauses, in reverence for
The mangled corpus sliced in half, and posed in displays erotic
Subjective stance for the gawking voyeurs to

Green Dahlia

The horn section fell off mars
hangin' voodoo tremelos

Crazy eyed jack was there
twitchin' f-stop harmonies

Chandeliers flickered smoke haze
rhythms of green dahlias floating
above 6 minute promises

Amid forever, saturn shifted;
rings penetrated for eternity

Rings penetrated

for eternity
