Red roses wristlet
Orange roses boutonniere
As betoken of 
The countryside espousal 
Of two souls becoming one

pink and white petals
soft and velvety to touch
a lovely orchid

adorning the suit
of a young man in the prom
as a boutonniere
 
delicate flower
of exotic loveliness
growing in the wild...

Outside, the still 
of crickets.
Inside, petals
of a cold sore 
foliate,
a boutonniere 
for full lips.
Looking up, I tell her 
two eggs, basted, 
hash browns,
coffee now.
Later on, 
she says
the birthmark
I found 
south of her navel 
she’s had 
all her life.

Your memory nearly diminished
I can only imagine you here
In this empty space before me
As I reach up to kiss your lips
And see the ache inside your eyes

Like a poem left unfinished
A wilted white rose boutonniere
Shards of a shattered vanity
Umbra of the moon’s eclipse
Or November clouds in April skies....

Listen to poem:

Sunflower Seeds

enchanted seedling
sunflower will weave magic
golden yellow joy


Green Eyes

Curious green eyes
Soft gentle paw pats my face
Purring in my ear


 Ariel Ballet

blue skies seagull flight
graceful ariel ballet
speaks to me of spring


Button Hole

sky blue boutonniere
morning gift from azure drift
delight has a smile
