Movement of form in enigmatic space,
measured against the sun gives birth to time,
as heliotropic flowers seek grace,
echoing in all hearts as bliss beat’s chime.
It is said time and tide waits for no one,
save those lovers lost in each others eyes,
blurring boundaries as mind comes undone,
paving way for bliss magnetism to rise.
Memory records embrace and release,
within the lifespan allotted to us,
wherein mindful souls who flow on with ease,
dissolve time itself, aboard God’s bliss bus.
Time too is confined, to this realm dual,
which we exit, if love be heart’s fuel.

Melodrama Tears of Purple Passion
Tears of purple passion rend the cloak of my soul in a sob act as
Sobbing rain rips apart the sinuous threads of my blubbering broken heart
I beat my chest in abandoned weeping lamentation, crying out in vain.
Oh that the trampled, wailing, crying rose of love
Could gather together her sobbing scattered petals again -
Feel again her glow crushed by winter's maudlin weeping in heliotropic hues
Oh that distress teardrops shed here in sobbing souls of rending grief
On this windswept barren path would grow flowers in their footsteps
Weeping no more, crying for joy in their miraculous transformation.
Oh let Goblin slowly beat drums of broken sorrow in sobbing rising surges
Waterworks of downbeats in pulsing litanies of crying blackest blackness
Yet gather moaning cries as newborn jewels, treasure born of indigo Tears.

Sunflowers make a unified display;
symmetrically joined, each one by one-
gold petals dance around a center stage;
together, side-by-side in harmony.
Sunflower stems exhibit stable strength
supporting well their towering large heads;
as they, with thick, broad leaves encounter wind-
stems firmly keep them upright in the fields.
Adapting for good light, sunflowers thrive
by using their heliotropic heads;
they turn to face the sun when changing paths-
from East to West- and back to East again.
Framed by a landscape under sunny skies-
sunflower scenes are lovely works of art;
bright, sunny faces, swaying in the breeze-
creative work of nature- full and lush.
Bright, golden sunflowers- for me, mean love;
a gift presented to me through the years.
To honor special days, my family-
oft send me lovely sunflower bouquets.

Our love is akin to that of the sunflower to the sun,
When my aureate prismatic sunrays splurge from my gun,
You open up your silk golden yellow petals,
Just to get smooched by the warm spangling rays.
Your ability to orient yourself to me,
And follow my diurnal course expeditiously,
Serves as one of the spectacular daylight dances galore,
Crowned by your floral head heliotropic terpsichore.
The seconds, minutes, and days we spend together,
So shall your stem get massive, erect and thicker,
And your large, oval, discretely toothed petiolate leaves,
Shall serve as a conspicuous attraction to insects.
Your floral head shall beam with thousands of achene pores,
As together we shall bring forth fruity seeds,
Seeds that shall be a prove of our love,
Seeds that will heal and provide protection like a glove.
So, as I retire to the horizon today,
Do not miss me so much as I go away,
Just look at the moon, for it reflects my light,
And rest assured that I shall rise very early to your sight.

For some occasions,
when she wants to appear attentive,
her eyes are Morning Glory brilliant blue,
unwinding for sunrise, heliotropic,
closing at dusk,
wilting into the dark.
As light fades on summer evenings
her brilliant white Datura gown
unfolds its pleats to Dervish-whirl
through the cooling air,
attracting all manner of
pleasure-seekers,
retiring slowly
as darkness deepens,
resting to dance again tomorrow.
On more desperate nights,
her vanilla scented Cereus-spirit
all but explodes,
anxious to find her lover
in that single evening of her life.
By dawn’s light
she hangs spent and lifeless,
her glory gone
but for the seeds planted in her belly
during that wondrous darkness.
YouTube has marvelous stop-action films of these flowers. There is information elsewhere online regarding their uses by and effects on humans.
