Roses Poems

Premium Memberroses butterflies

they're flowing 
without the wind,
catching my performance
way at my feet,
I don't wish here,
until the caterpillar
shall bring,
My transformation
will have to sing,
and the catch of
bees before they
sting
and finally
I shall breathe.
Not a demise
but a butterfly
and its
gorgeous wings....
Impresses
the choruses

When Lilly Kisses Rose

When lilly kisses rose
and lilly I did know
and trees I thought
grew very deep
and lived
within the forest.

And green
the hay is sweet
and brown
dry moss cries
why.

And lillies white
remind the sky
blue cotton
clouds they swirl.

There grew the two.
so dear
most thought.

Short breath
two centered
scents.

And how
before
them both
I stood
once near
their hearts
too far.

And when
I know
how
roses grow
and pressed
so hard
was I.

And cups
of milk
I loaned to
them
cinnamon
and spice.

Sugar sweets

Stop and Smell the Roses

Roses never smelled wilt quicker,
For the roses cry and since tears are salt water,
And salt dehydrates, the roses shrivel.
In addition, the whole plant might rebel against life
all because no one stopped and smelled the roses...
So if you ever spot a rose bush make a beeline for it
And sniff every single blossom.

Let The Flowers Grow Again

Smiles of roses in our garden wither,
As the wings of our love mid-air dither,
Our songs are sung without their melody,
We live our lives in black and white,

Our love's colours stolen by the rainbow,
With our cloudy skies missing the stars' glow,
Rather our lean cheeks bear the pool of tears,
Enough to form two times the Pacific.

Though the

Premium Memberthe bee to become

I'll be free to kind-ness of daisies
gently trembling through the void,
and the softness of  held hands
which are offering raisins,
without a trick of quicksand.
There's seeds that has a need
of watering & the showering,
Grows into roses with its thorns
defense mechanism vulnerability
can be sweet and leave you torn.
A mother cradles her newborn
and will show her teeth
if you

Raindrops on Roses

Sitting alone on the porch
In the evening glow 
Mama’s garden blooms again 
With exotic flow
Bright awakening 
Pink roses are her delight
Night is threatening

Pearls descend from onyx clouds,
locks brace rainbow hue.
Gems latticed in lilac lips
bloom roses on you
with surreal gleam.
Drops of sensual philtre
design my day dream.

a tear on a blushing cheek
a shy crimson smile
eyes that make the heart grow weak
in their gaze beguile

lost in yesterday
I wished not for tomorrow
~ wished it all away...

choristers of yule
who incanted charmingly
as the dew sank cool
on their rouge berets,
cardinal cloaks with green socks—
a cordant bouquet

Leaning on a lampposts pole 
Cigarette in hand

I'll smoke any brand 
Okay, this is it!  
No more cigarettes for me 
Time for me to quit!

Wishing  that I could roll back the years, 
And stop my hot, burning tears!

Though no prayers, can turn back the clock,
As you slept in my arms, with only one sock.

No more seeing you in Wal-Mart, silly -dance!
Only in

Raindrops on roses sparkle.

Though they seem like tears

On those cloudy, rainy days. 

Roses have no fears.

Nature's gifts are rife.

Small raindrops fall and glisten,
 
Sparkling joy of life.
