Long Honeysuckles Poems

" Perhaps, life is just a disaster

take me where I belong,
in the henna haze of scentless leaves
draped in doves of lotus,
I'll whimsically...

When the dreams first began, I was not surprised.
I had been waiting for them.
And you came,
with your soft satin white dress flowing and
the flower crown sweet-smelling,

Celtic Sun
Celtic sun, one such wonder, 
Sending her rays unto the woods,

Moby Dick, geometry, physics.
Study every subject everyday.
Homework is an indicator of future success.

I cuddled in my soft cushiony bed
And looked outside my sunny arched windows.
The glorious king was lazily greeting
My cottage garden laden with white garden chairs 
Around the green...

Here's a story, I've only told
Just, maybe, once or twice
It's a story, I'm sure you've heard, 
The one about the Three Blind Mice

The story goes they chased some chick
Now how can this even be true?

The Youthful Month of June

Hummingbirds hover amid the fragrant air
O’er honeysuckle flowers and roses fair.
Free doves to fly and rain confetti and rice,
Where in the garden my bride and I abide
In the summery view of...

On Earth's bare bosom, do flowers dream?
A panoply of beauty flitting from flower to flower, 
with bees reeling drunk in their ecstasy.
As a flock of vivid white crepes stroll an apricot sky, 
chirps of restless...

The meadow has come alive with sight and sound
As I go through the gate, I hear buzzing all around,
The bees are busy working on milkweed flower
Waist-high daylilies and coral honeysuckles tower,
Enticing a few hummingbirds into...

keep the music sorrowfully low,
so big daddy doesn’t hear.
the shadowy figures, surrender
and whisper in your ear.

the psychedelic colors flow
like the sea foam beat.
Angie, your chromatic hair
smells incandescently sweet.

locked and loaded, alone
with your beastie dreams.
your pillow’s...

My body lives here, but my soul is absent. 

My soul lives…

 

Where “I love you” has meaning.

Where parenthood is an honor and a privilege. 

Where a house is a home.

Where the best meal is...

the ice is melting
in the streams through the meadow
where new growth appears

fragrant hyacinths
push their way up from the ground
to meet the spring sun

some bright pink blossoms
are budding in the branches
of a cherry tree.

some yellow tulips
and...

Honeysuckles, crepe myrtle, and summers that last and...

Put together with the sweetest parts of all his love.

SUMMER SPLASH OF COLOURS

Walking in the garden under a cerulean sky,
The mild heat of the tangerine sun cools my mind,
Lavender buds have begun to bloom and I 
Watch the soft lemon lilies slowly swaying behind;

Plucking...

A little girl named Buttercup
played in the meadow
by a stream
She'd watch fish swim by
and tell them all hi
but, when a snake slithered
up, she'd scream
Turtles sunning on a log
swam to see her
and frogs croaked out
big hellos
Crawdads...

whispering secrets to the thousand islands at my feet
and row to the shipwrecked shores of Ithaca

and see the land...

Summertime heats the birds and bonny boughs.
Wings lighthearted and flapping with the breeze.
Likewise, the scent of honeysuckles arouse
A ring - the wedding bells of buzzing bees.

Yet, the downpour of sweat, the pavement roast,
Burnt on both...

Love is a blank canvas, a phantasmagoric fantasy,
to pucker up with glossy lips, the subtle soft brush
against the opposite sex, with eye-shades drawn.
