Long Garden path Poems

Pass and disappear down a hole
Would I think I was going quite mad
Or would I want to follow him
As he exclaimed I’m late!  I’m late!
For a very...

alas, to inform its...

But I’m sorry I cannot,...

  I awoke this morning to birds singing.
  The dead silence that's been heard all winter.
  Now the harmonious sounds of life, as birds sing,

Out along a sunrise stroll, a garden’s early view,
I find the most enchanting scene of vibrant colored hue.
When there upon the walking stones with tattered wings I see,
a butterfly of saddened tears right...

came up with Thomas Mark Mathew and John

quite a leap of faith from the dessert to London

with bridges burning and not a bush in sight

I once wrote a POTW, getting to know you, was the theme 
Simple little rhyme, about soupers commonalities it seems 
Now I’m discovering disparity, divisions, different schisms 
Joining the dots together, one picture emerges, extremism...

Beyond the dark t’ward light of day
There is a land far, far away
This place is known as Shandamaire
A little castle’s nestled there

Around this castle dark and tall
There is a garden still and small
The flowers there...

In the gazing ball I glimpsed
A breath-taking young woman with a touch of innocence
In her soulful, violet eyes.

I was mesmerized by her beauty
And I had to look up to...

Inspired by song "Mystery Of The Heart"

God Save the King! So echoed round 
the village halls, the pubs, the streets

I saw once the masked figures of ingenious craft, 
walk with me enticed on the broken garden...

My uncle said he’d seen a dog,
Come down his path one day.
But not aware who’s dog this was,
He shouted, “Go Away!”

The dog looked up at him, then left,
It ‘faded’ out of sight.
He then knew who...

Centuries have rolled,
The generations don’t connect anymore.
They grow as trees in isolation
And don’t make a garden anymore.
They are stories divided in incongruent chapters
But don’t make a readable book anymore
For I don’t understand your language
Nor do...

Where have all my flowers gone? I began to ask as she came to stay.
Before then, my yard was beautiful and with a bountiful...

A simple toy mother gave me 
on my sixth birthday, 
the best gift I ever got.
Its gentle turn creating changing color design, 
and shifting patterns, mesmerized me,

The blackberry's love for the garden rose
Brought down the gardener's wrath.
The blackberry sensed the danger
As he wended the garden path.

"Must dare to brave the hoe.

It was in the Barley Tavern, on a normal Friday night,
I’d ordered flatty tails and chips for tea, before I’m sitting down,

Careless whispers from sordid lips
Echo through the wooded landscape of hearts.
Destructive wants and needless needs,
Carried on the remnants of rust and bone,
Discarded amongst the fallen bridges,
Where once that precious garden grew—
Abundant petals with morning dew…

A nomad wanders  
in labyrinthine wasteland 
of the denuded life, 
          desolate,
the sinuous dusty track

Splitting open the rough rocky ledge of my garden,
a sapling grows at the edge of the broken pathway. 
A lone bud blooms unnoticed with the color of spring  
within my heart with the alluring...
