To Love a Siren
"To love is human.
To feel pain is human.
Yet to still love despite the pain is pure angel." - Rumi
There is a voice out there - above the water
whispering melodies I can't seem to get enough of
its longing shaped like lavender hyacinths
But it's so easy to sing
and so hard to drown
in the things you make me

Hyacinths and Hope
As fresh and as fragrant, colored hyacinths,
That intoxicates one with heavenly scent.
So may my true,original form of artful poetry,
Bloom and blossom, escaping cells of the past.
To spring into action at each sunrised day!
Not wondering where my poetic desire be.
For truly, as a new child grows free….
And this style takes on its own shape.
I, no longer

Hyacinths and Daffodils
Sleeping beauty has reawakened, and it is springtime again,
So like the younger days, when you skipped with Madeleine.
Purple hyacinths and daffodils, are fragrant in the meadows,
And the bush near the house, is colored with burgundy rose!
Wild hyacinths and dewy daffodils, usher in the sassy season,
Giving secret joy to many hearts, within the blooming region.
Birds sing

Hyacinths Perfume
I lingered to enjoy the moment,
ending the eleven-month intermission,
as the sweet aroma reached me
from the garden behind the house.
The hyacinth had returned
without fanfare or recognition
by bulbs not yet broken forth,
or buds pregnant with the glory of spring.
I followed the unforgettable scent
to its humble position beside the hellebore,
and admired my early spring friend
before me in perfect

Pink Hyacinths
Pink hyacinths scent the room
bulbs planted indoors at Thanksgiving
find their way to the surface.
They rise lanky and tall green shoots
followed by clusters, deep green tinged rosy pink
opening with warmth of sun glow thru the window.
The sun fades behind gray snow filled clouds
but the hyacinths bloom anyway
tall and stretching up to the light.
In

The Meadow of Grape Hyacinths
Beyond the maple hills that have fought many storms,
gales don't disturb the meadow of grape hyacinths:
observe the Aurora Borealis paint the soft azure sky
into a glittering, robust gold which the fading moon envies
as thick dew starts dripping from them like idle rain often does...
Over there a varicolored aura of glitter always appeared,
and from

Hyacinths
I don't know what to make of it,
strands of an errant dream,
when hyacinths sought rebellion,
and a mechanic plied uncertainly
across an eastern sea.
It lies there out of reach,
the tail end of a tale,
of vistas far and unknown,
of stories almost told,
of gulls that fly stationary,
caught in an offshore breeze,
of small boats launched into exile
by hapless navigators,
from a

Hyacinths
Embroiled by chiefly huge gestures on show,
Contented like weaves on a star shape elope
Proudly upon high, and boast upon row;
A breadth full of whispers on one massive slope
These spherical blooms are a fist full of nature
Erupt with creation, where up and towards;
In a beautiful dream sharing dynamic stature
With dignities reaching the summit, rewards.
Protruding with traits
