Odd Petaled Daisy
a chance meeting
digits fleeting
each I could recall
days so lazy
odd petaled daisy
I gave you a call
from one hello
how would I know
in love I would fall
would not our fate
cooperate
you loved me not at all
fifty Summers passed
they seemed so fast
then another Fall
and in the end
we became friends
under daisy's thrall

This Petaled Beast of Love Mr
The rose inside my heart
This petaled beast of love
Now tortures me.
For like the Little Prince
I favor her
with sunsets
Tend to her needs.
And yet
I taste the sting
Of loving’s thorns
While dreaming
Of long distant
Faded dawns.
For time has made me older
As she thrives
For changing seasons bring
Roses new life.
Reanimate
This rose
This love
within my heart.

The Flowing Nectar of the Rose
The bee may kiss the petaled face
Of any bloom bathed in the sun
As every rose smiles in her place.
Nectar gathered, left not a trace,
So, every honey drop is won;
The bee may kiss the petaled face.
She contributes an air of grace
Betwixt the thorns that she may shun
As every rose smiles in her place.
And still the bee

Thousand Petaled Lotus
A thousand petals
of which only two open
At the divine mantle
deluded beliefs shaken
That that is known
as lucid understanding
Origin past seeds sown
now slowly blossoming
Identity and Self merger
within the heart spacial
It is a soundless thunder
of bliss explosion radial
There is no one within
seeking instant ascension
Each moment we begin
renewal of our meditation
Actuality of each revelation
a

Rose Petaled Pillows
Two rose petaled pillows
On white satin sheets
With candles surrounding
Our hearts as they meet
A kiss filled with passion
Our hearts filled with hope
Sharing each other
This before we've not known
Indulging in us
Ectasy as our guide
Feelings like this
Should never subside
Feeling your body
As it's pressed to mine
Forgetting the world
As we share our first time
Our bodies reach out
We meet

Lowering the Petaled Anchor
i am the patriarch in this garden of voices
generatingratitude
exposing truths
lending my
wings
to decorate the splitting sky with our choices
reflecting within
unfolding with out
mending the cry
with the song
unity sings
liquidlight lacerations
bleed out the illusion
nothing to fear
ancestralabaster answers
amplify the vibrations
teaching us to rely

Red Rose Petaled Bath
Red rose petals in the bathtub of scented dripping water,
Candles gently flickering in the background,
Sending an iridescent glow throughout the bathroom,
Soft melodies can be heard from a distant room.
Why is it so sad?
A naked body stands in front of a fogging mirror,
A tear trickles down a wet cheek,
Sadness weeps through those glistening eyes,
A chin quivers

A giant blue bowl
Hangs over petaled yellows
And the green I'm on
