I've always 
wandered in 
venus' orbs, 
searching for
the star-seed 
of my spirit that
has forsaken
it spiritual 
sanguinary and 
caged every 
fluorescent flicker 
in a sculptured
sanctuary of 
materialistic
metamorphosis. 

Wondering - 
what am I, 
in the camouflaging
shades of...

When I whirl as wind, 
unwavering ~
 surfing on 
watercolor wings 
of simmering seasons, 
 which flicker
 and fly through me, 
filtering my faults
with a wrinkled fantasy, 
I waltz whistling ~
in their whispering waves, 
where...

I stand back and gaze across my wonderful garden, in bloom.
There it lies in the morning sun, with petals glistening from dew.

No one realizes the extent of my love for the rose.  As a...

Music is an undying 
art of soul ~ 
an abstract eden, where, 
euphonious unicorns 
glide in strawberry sonatas, 
amplifying rhapsody in
ballads of flight, 
when fuchsia feathers
tease those 
jingling breezes, 
infusing breaths
in every lifeless aroma;
where I...

“Being mistook, we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed”

In my poetic garden, where petals breathe with light - I feel evergreen.
Among ruby roses I see butterflies take flight - I feel evergreen.

Roaming under the influence of jasmine and honeysuckle perfume,
Edenic whispers weave tales...

Stay by and explore,
Is there the need for us to be fighting over a phone call?
I'm the sweet scented flower,'forget-me-not',
Since you're the 'Lilly' with law,
Everyone wonders about how you'll rot,
Thinking and pondering over the intensive...

Some days poetry flows
sometimes it is just words.

In the final spring - a poet
yearned for an immaculate blossom,
for his fingertips to bring a painting into life - to
meticulously cultivate and craft a masterpiece.
I recall an...

Like an ebony rose in a province 
of ivory and golden flowers,
you poisoned each peaceful petal
with your senseless scent of death.

You were never just another floret.
Was I a fool to sow your seed in
hope your...

Evergreen flavored mantras
did nothing to purge bitter bile from my lips
nor slake the smoldering thirst for a Rosary remedy.
Tick-tock petals unfurled one by one
as your poppy shed its last sepal 
releasing a scarlet sigh across...

1. A heart in need of a permanent home
but not this vagabond in a split shift
who always flunks honesty. 
Promises in tonnage but so eolian
forward motion in a reverse gear
yet I am so blind to...

Summer Fairy Land

Beyond mounds,beyond dells,
Thorough thickets,thorough nettles,
Athwart sludge,athwart crag,
Into creek,Unto mist,
I dost err upon the ether crest,
I dost stray deep brine,
Rovering hither and thither,
Forth pasty cloud saddle be,
Soaring swifter than the blazing speed,
Soliciting heaven's shower...

Well...I wanted to do something silly as I did,
     In writing a poem for this bid.

     It took but a TINY HERCULEAN try,

Time to change the people that shun
Change the things which have been done
Can things be changed, done by anyone?

Learn from the stone being cast around
Take the time lay stones on the ground
Who's that I see?...

Yes  I  am  a  towering  fierce being, 
Yet  you  still  bring  me  down bleeding. 

Yes  I  enjoy  causing nightmares  and ...

A white sepal falls, it is of the early May bloom,
it is of a blossomed tree

that smothers with the light yielding weight 
of its insistence,

that it will be stirred with the gentle wind. 
A bee...

There it was gazing up – radiant – 
radiating kaleidoscope silver green;
sharp with life, ready and expectant.

Spreading its claim, pressing out the grass,
was a thistle born from last year's seed unseen.
From where had it blown...

There was a time for fisted buds with just a tease of red—
the promises you kept inside with so much soft and scent,
the layers squeezed that longed to lead—
How could I know it then?
From buried...

Oh my enchantress dahlia, an inspiration to my muse.
I remember, meticulously planting your bulbs,
so you would bloom in an abundance of colours.

I watched your emerald stalk blossom slowly,
until your sepal gave birth to elegant petals.
Dawn's...

Beautiful lily you bloom the summer, 
gazer of stars, I can't help but wonder…
Thine petals wilt not ripen steady, 
thine beauty and fragrance diminish daily. 
Courageously ye don't fathom nor fear, 
oh this day, this...

That guy, his heart twitching in body's vise
Posed an exterior for what's call love inside,
Thoughts become words shedding disguise.
O electronic syllables freedon cannot chide
Is more empowered than this coccoon will
For no mores sepal break that...

Clad in shinning metal
Fragile like a flower's sepal
Sheathed in agility
Yet cajoled by uncertainty
My Knight in shinning Armour!

A wonderful contrast 
Of bravery and vulnerability!
My Knight! My knight!
Pleasure you've known,passion you've shown
Desire you express,passion you expect
And love...
