behind the veil

your gaze hides a love
entrenched deep within your heart
peeking through the veil
a shy glance that holds my world
like dahlia blooms all seasons

Dreaming dahlia delicate and demure
Looking sleepy in solitude, taking a rest
You enhance the garden, showing your pure
Out of all the flowers, I love you the best

beautiful orange dahlia
must be dug up in the fall
replanted every spring

dainty, fragrant, fragile, pretty dahlia
worth the trouble, if you live in zone 5

Silent Voyage

Eyes take flight
away from sleep, from words
to talk to moon.

Midnight dilemma
when a midriff blooms with
cactus dahlia.

Picking up the scent,
jasmine will unfurl a
new bouquet.

Premium Member Sequence-Fall

Dahlia petals on the lawn,
dew-sodden in the October dawn

Michelmas daisies,limp and old
amidst faded leaves,now spotted gold

Bright bonfire-coloured leaves all aglow,
in Acer Palmantum's Autumn show.

Dahlia

Let me be your dreamcatcher,
Just as you are mine.
My feathers and my beads,
No longer intertwined.

Let me be your moon,
And you can be my star.
Your sun spots and my craters
Make us what we are.

Premium Member The Spell

Sit a spell young fellow Hear the whisper of the Dahlia? She sings in the summer breeze While protracted sounds of fallow symbiosis Whine between your ears What appears by nature randomized Preselected for your eyes Hailed to halt the wanderer You falling into wonder pale

Premium Member A Busy Robin

A busy Robin
Flying to and fore
With twigs and straw
Is very busy 
Passes the patio door
So she went outside
Curious she searched
Outside to see why
She discovered why
A bird nest was made
In a dahlia plant
Hanging high on a
Hanging plant pot
A robin is smart
Building a nest high
To protect her young
In a hanging plant

Premium Member Green Dahlia

The horn section fell off mars
hangin' voodoo tremelos

Crazy eyed jack was there
twitchin' f-stop harmonies

Chandeliers flickered smoke haze
rhythms of green dahlias floating
above 6 minute promises

Amid forever, saturn shifted;
rings penetrated for eternity

Rings penetrated

for eternity

Dahlia

You stand there!
With desiring lures!
Captivating,
Flattering and flirting,
Scented fragrances,
Attracting!	
Drawing!
Magnetism!
Creating happiness,	
Without a word,
You entice,
Reflect
And seduce,
Temperature intensifies,
Your beauty blooms,
Time stands still,
Capturing my heart,
I’m taken!
To a far distant land,
Riding on clouds,
Of heaven.

Premium Member Exquisite Spring Softness

Exquisite spring softness floating in casually
Delighting the meadow with her yearly dance
Ruby red dahlia and cheerful neon pink geranium
Urging their prime buds toward the surface,

Frothy green lamb’s ear, showing her face
Birdsong announcements, as spring shows herself
Softly at first, gentling in a soft, fanciful way.
By the middle of May, in generous full glory.

The Dahlia

D - Dawn of day and dawn of Spring made splendid by the Dahlia
A- Astonishing pinks, reds, oranges and yellows roaring with the life of several sensational suns
H- Harmonious eloquence perched on the tall stem of natural beauty  
L- Luxuriousness unrivalled by human composition or creation
I- Incandescently perfumed with the sanctimonious scent of Spring
A- Alive with life and love just like you and I

Premium Member Dahlia In a Whirl

She flows, flows while petals spread their vibrant blooms
On April's mural , those lips dare to tease...
Her contours trailing with velour costumes
Wildly ablaze, to ride on spring’s trapeze.

This ambrosial drift which shines ,which glows 
From heaven’s mold granting dahlia's trance
Enchanting a whirl, my shade of yellows...
Like me, she curls into a floral dance!

Wet Sand

In the dim corridors
of a dirty game,
when the crime was rising
you were pursuing the self-ism
at the end of the smoke.

Was it not a wailing song 
of a dahlia, blooming in sun;
when the life demanded
only a seed, an old coin
and an empty frame ?



The fake encounters and torn
shirts of a bleeding tribe
will ask many unpleasant
questions from the forest.
Why the bees had stopped collecting honey ?

Premium Member Soaking Up the Sun

Saffron sun shone brightly, though it was a rainy day,
And varicolored umbrellas were up, in wild vivid array.
All shades were abloom, on the beautiful Dahlia Avenue,
And smiles were seen, in slanting rain of silvery hue!
Such mellow yellow gold, out of violet midnight dreams-
Like the heart of motley autumn, wearing spring greens!

Premium Member Dahlia Dreams

Dahlia dreams blooming with the scent of you;
Our sweet Summer adventures I inhale, 
luscious moments felt too good to be true; 
Through my closed eyes I see every detail, 
passing quickly time is so very frail; 
The colors in the flowers fading now 
as they give way to Fall with a soft bow; 
Trapped in the air the season will linger; 
An endless heat wave the clock won’t allow
but July nights will warm you in Winter.

Premium Member Ruby Garden Red

Fiery giant poppies
Cheerful bright chrysanthemum
Spicy scented dianthus
Statuesque amaryllis

Flamboyant hibiscus
Vivacious geranium
Seductive anemone
Exotic calla lily
Ruffled marigold
Bodacious begonia

Luscious dahlia and ludic zinnia
Dress the garden with pure delight
Exuberant in shimmering rays of sunlight
As sweetly the summer zephyr whispers

Speaking Ones Thought

Not able to sing-
you have become the song.

You will make me very poor 
by giving charity.

It was a black dahlia, ready 
to beset the moon in lunar eclipse.

And the word implant was not 
appropriate. It has become toxic.

Downward you search the seeds 
in dark. The spirits waiting in wings.

Death was the most beautiful thing 
to happen on the stage before-

the play starts. I will invite
my paramour to light the lamp.
