Mimosa Loveboat
How its divine fragrance lifts my soul.
Soft mimosa, blooming, next to my deck.
Announcing, Lady Spring has come.
My thoughts.......only of beauty.
And all the blessings God has given me.
The most real trophy in my life,
God gave me was my soul.
That dances above fear and strife!
Would it not be just too divine?
To coast softly in a

The Magic of Mimosa
The magic of mimosa meandered,
In her mystical mind and on the mirror.
Mesmerizing moments of men!
With mannish kindness they kissed her hands
and dainty, debutante fingers
Masculine too, having merciful manners
Musicality and poetry, a mighty mix.
The moon shed musical tunes midst the mimosa.
Moving down sweet memoir’s corridors.
To waltz, in mighty halls, with golden etched walls.

Mimosa Sunrise
Blush
fair skies
mist Sol-kissed
citrine seduced
mimosa clouds bask
dreamy in champagne light
golden-god’s sparkle fills
chalices roused and
rouged as poppies
hail dawn with
unfurled
whorls

Mimosa Muse
Mimosa trees in bloom,
Scent the air with sweet perfume,
I breathe it in.
On this sunny day in May,
Troubles seem so far away;
I pick up my pen.

Mimosa Spring
scents
wander
near and far
on a kind breeze
yellow mimosa trees home to bluebirds
arresting senses make their presence known
at red sunset
day to day
beauty

mimosa and pine
pink flowers brighten the street
with southern comfort
sweet tea and summertime green
speckled eyes reach for its light

Mimosa Again
(In language of flowers, mimosa is conjuration of secret love: no one knows that I love you)
A doe-eyed blue gaze, twirl of curly tress
feisty air froth , fizz of golden champagne
crystal glasses clink, her daisy print dress
shimmering silver, all scrambled in brain.
Cold ice melted, and love warmed up again.
Mimosa kindled in yellow

Mimosa Pudica
Watching
People speaking to each other
So effortlessly confident
Words flow
At their first meet
Curling my knuckles
Under my face
Feeling with envy
Sometimes with anger
Secretly hating
Not them
The people from my past
Who made my heart and mind
This way
Just not enough
For myself to move on
How far I go
Pulling me back to zero
Building up
And destroying at the same time
From the triggers

Under the Tree
Under the mimosa tree
My poet’s heart alights,
Dapples verse
In fragrant phrase
And blooms
In pink delight.

Mimosa Cluster
Mimosa memories
Time beyond such odd times
Old-fashion harmonies
Chime echoing strange mimes
Yes the touch-me-not fest
A long ago feeling
A fork road on my quest
Touching thorny pricks sting
Day of unhurried wit
On long-forgotten fields
Footfalls in strange odd bits
Echoes that shadows yield
Cluster of primal fears
Unseen yet still stalking
Mimosa thoughts endear
Old corridors calling
Nothing can yet outlast
Echoes of time now past
Waxing and waning

The Mimosa Approach
A chilled but passionate solution
Bubbly mix with bracing sensation
Dashes of bittersweet fruit in flute
Sends forth your day in joyous pursuit
An inward touch of coy affection
Close to perfect prime of your generation
Afar I lay on your sinuous path
As frivolous lace of vast green swath

Mimosa Pubica
Here I am
Your mimosa pubica
When your footsteps were far away
I lifted my head
Opened my heart again
And in cognito among the grass
Rise from under the oppression of your shoe
My weapons are peace
My leaves unfold their embrace of your cruelty
And opened me like a heart to love more deeply
From where I am

Mimosa and Kudzu
Come's, our two thousand and ninety-fourth year;
the earth is green, and the atmosphere clear.
The mimosa and kudzu continue to grow,
and which shall prevail – does anyone know?
The kudzu is stronger and more eager to win,
but the winter remains mimosa’s old friend.
Humans? They’ve become an insignificant bunch;
living under mimosa,
