Fragrant Poems

Love is foul nor fragrant

A rare crescent when comes to be,
Moon’s silver so scant comes to be.

No fragrance from some comes to be,
From some a foul scent comes to be.

No use digging into the past,
The same old repent comes to be.  

Break mirrors nor try to look in,  
Image nigh but bent comes to be.

If ye look

Premium MemberFragrant Fumes, Pungent Memories

      Ah, the fragrant fumes of paint drying on a picket fence
         followed by the grease-stained smell of turpentine on the brush

      Though doubtless matched by the aroma of oil spills gracing

Premium MemberEnding A Perfect Night

A perfect night ending.
After passion peaks,  
our quivering bodies,
dissolved in fiery heat. 
Wrapped in a nightly cocoon to sleep.
Fragrance dew lingers, 
entwined in dampened sheets,
as two hearts synchronize
in harmonic rhythms.
Breathings calm to steady flight,  
as sleep creeps, 
ending a perfect night.

When wilting wolds wing winters ‘wards one’s way;
When happenstance shall hurry haven hence;
When all the oily oafs shall overwhelm:
Then dine upon and in the finer realm,
Wherein the fragrant dreams shall recompense
Such grim endeavors as besmirch the day.

Premium MemberGOODBYE WINTER

GOODBYE WINTER
For winter, time is almost up
I take a sip from my coffee cup
The grass has grown very long
Neglecting it for weeks turned out so wrong
Mowing the grass is definitely a plan
And eventually it will look spick and span
Or I could just call a lawnmower man
I’ll hand over the responsibility
Then I can relax and have

A Fragrant Lily Field By The Serene Bay

I'm standing on a fragrant lily field
by the serene bay towards midnoon,
falcons gather by the splashing rocks
with eyes that scare away hungry larks;
they must catch their prey and be fed:
they'll attack with their claws a buffoon
who laughs and breaks the stiff stillness,
stumbling down the shell-strewn dunes! 


One can see the wide wings of geese
that flap

Premium MemberForgiveness, The Fragrant Rose Of Sharon



In religious imagery the Rose of Sharon symbolizes the maturation of a Saintly nature.  The transcending power of Motherhood and its ability to restore & save. 

Forgiveness is a decision
made with the heart
and not the mind

If we are to heal 
then we must call upon 
the power to love 

It is the greatest gift
having

 you say you
              love the moon
but it’s the stars
              you gaze at,
as you stretch 
    your petal-like fingers
to flaunt magical phrases
  across nocturnal nights~

Premium MemberA Fragrant Bed

asleep in a bloom
on the lake of pearl moonbeams
water lily dreams

green frog in black night
drifting in rock-a-bye dark
where stars make their mark

moonlight tiptoes soft
on cool petals of the pink
shadows indistinct

colors mourn for hours 
at the lake of pearly dreams
observing black themes

Dictionaries define fragrant as a sweet
aroma; a pleasant, agreeable smell.
Yet, a fragrant odor's a sensual treat
that affects our mood much more than these words tell.
What makes a smell sweet is subjective, of course,
but a fragrant bouquet draws us to its source.
Fond memories tethered to a fragrant scent, 
oft recall pleasantries and times well spent.

Premium MemberFragrant Families

I was a skillful, amiable nursery worker, cultivating blooms in a greenhouse,
Like feverish and fragrant blooms, often grown in redbird's green treehouse.

Hours were spent sowing seeds, adjusting conditions, and also and pruning,
As June full moon nights await dawn, in utter hush as blooms are swooning.

It was a profession that I really loved, like milky stars

My Sweet Fragrant Flower of Love

My Beloved Flower,

With each stroke of my quill, I strive to capture the essence of our love, a symphony that defies mortal boundaries. 

Above the chessboard city, our love reigns, thundering like polished leather, illuminating our world in a burst of radiant light.

Confusion and wonder intertwine as I stand amidst waves, snow, and the brilliance

To love you in every fairest moment
and kiss you tenderly in pure delight
to yearn for you when you are absent
and hold you closer in shadowed light
love keeps us fondly in a warm embrace
as dreams within the heart become unsealed
passion will become a familiar face
beneath the sun's flowered fragrant field
we'll be devoted when our arms entwine

Flowers,
 Spring's fragrant hope,
 Cherry blossoms in pink,
 Daffodils adorned in gold gowns
 Magnolia trees clothed in starry blooms,
 Butterflies dancing on the breeze
 Tasting spring's sweet nectar
