work of light.
Bend to heaven
dispel the night....

daytime in August
in the middle of the week
scents of lavender

the sun came golden
on dinnerplate dahlias
blooming in all hues

afternoon August
weekday wandering in sun
in the jasmine boom...

plush peach peonies
persistent pleasing perfume
prized prodigious pearl

dazzlingly divine
dramatic dark dahlias
days dreamily die

magic moonflower
mild mystifying maiden
modish at midnight...

whirling rose petals
as they move to dream music
sunflower acclaim

dips in dahlias
orange yellow cream and red
spins past snapdragons 

four o'clock fragrance
and flourishes near fuchsias
forget-me-not fame...

with charming cool elegance
blooms dazzle near falling leaves
pansies dahlias and mums
add to the color

cosmos and lilies blush bliss
sage and sedum, autumn fire
shine in the heyday of chill
as hued leaves go down...

Brilliant blue butterfly
Frequently fluttering freely
Delicately dancing on dahlias

Softly soaring skyward
Buddleia bushes brimming with beauty
Enchanting everyone’s eyes

The house on the hill
with its magical spell
has shed the years
possessions they mount
collecting memories
cause the Sun follows us
and the dahlias 
with its daydream quality
makes us happy
with all the things we could do...

Amazing colors around
delight my wondering eye.
All shades of gold and crimson
have banished the green.

Autumn in all its glory
has moved into my garden.
Sunflowers, deep red dahlias,
raise their brilliant heads.

Star to let
to a cat lover
and friend of

less perfect dahlias,
to putter-outers of
unwashed milk bottles;

to curtain shifters
and spectacle sinkers,
to all those gods

in Victoria`s long terraces
all waiting for
the flat upstairs....

daisy"s diffident roses reluctant
days shorter n nights darker
dews dance no more mourning
dahlias turned black in sorrow
dancing stars flicker no more
disaster galore weeping women
dead meat deadlier men
disaster around return soon
deadly war dulling mind...

Sunset plum roses
All saffron day they waited
for hued goodbye thrills
when blooming time had stood still
Sunflower sentinels glowed

Pink sunset saga
I think heaven touched the earth
as silver poured down
Dahlias and lilies swayed
in the dusk at night's doorway...

A flowerful  bouquet 
Dahlias,  carnations,   daffodils
And roses and roses  carnations 
More roses 
Everything love mon amour,  mon
Amour , mon amour

Love is everything in a bouquet.
A flowerful bouquet 
Mon amour, mon amour , mon amour
A powerful flowerful  bouquet....

Silk-
starfish
of fervent
fate weaves soft-quartz 
feathers of marshmallow metaphors that 
croon with firefly's fluorescence amidst life's
claustrophobic 
clouds, shading
bitter
smogs 
with
plush sweet-
dahlias;
And I chase light
within saffron skylines beyond dreamscapes....

Flowers Greeting ‘Xmas

       All beautiful chrysanthemums, dahlias,
       enchanting flowers,
      gorgeous hibiscus
     in jocund kaleidoscope,
     lovely marigolds, nice overwhelming pansies,
      queenly roses, snowdrops, tulips,
      unnoticed violet
     welcomes ‘Xmas
      yearning zest.

Beside the old house 
on the northern side,
where Granny's flowers
did abide,

Red roses flourished,
orange Poppies too,
and tall Holly Hocks
of crimson grew.

Dahlias, Iris,
Snap Dragons of blue,
plus beautiful Asters 
covered in dew.

Great hues of color
with greenery fine,
I'll always remember 
those blossoms divine....

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

In absolute calm
asleep is the silence
invisible...
In the garden next to me,
guarded by roses and dahlias
we rejoice
  the two of us, the day and me
in our tiny kingdom....
Groping solicitously keyboard, i
write and describe
the phenomenal beauty
shared with my soul
enraptured,  in inspiration
breathed by spirits
of ancient poets.... !...

That cameo was my secret grief.
He will make you sing,
the hooded moon.

Not a sacred thing
Kissing the toes of a traveller
for fecundity.

In doorway it was between
us and them for bargaining
for Dahlias.

Lips unkissed will call for
honey from bees.
Eyes will srarch for a candle. 

In alien land of flames
and tumultuous desires,
the golden breasts will take revenge.

Wild, red roses undulate, in the windswept way,
Purple peonies flutter, along the breeze highway,
Blue and pink daisies waltz, in pathways of sun,
Delicate lilies waver, in gentle cream commotion.

Green grasses ripple, going to hued sunset end,
And orange begonias quiver, in a gold weekend,
Black and red irises shake, under bluest of blue,
As peach dahlias quake, on lanes fresh and new....

The dahlias were once,
they bloomed once,
now they are churning earth,
in a faraway time
making a living by dying.

Dead, the flowers are dead,
yet the dirt is alive with their progeny.
Uncultivated buttercups
are seeding green pastures,
weeds are building trestle bridges.
Fertile bones are mating in a humming mud

Nothing is too faraway,
to be dead for long.
Soon the heart blooms also....

My brand new sleek automobile,
My dewy rose with scent appeal,
Sparkling rubies, beauty's ideal,
Cherries and cream after a meal.

Sunset skies of the lazy days,
Valentine heart, during love craze,
Wafting fall leaf, in sunny blaze,
A sequined gown sure to amaze!

Large dahlias, welcome delight,
Gorgeous nebulae, stars of night,
A color of some birds in flight,
And also the wine, rich and light....

So tangerine apricot carrot colored and marmalade,
Blooms graced the garden of warm sunshine and shade.
Orange were rich dahlias where hummingbirds hummed,
With a rare beauty which left the daylight stunned!

Over with the blues, skies of chiffon clouds danced,
All of a summer, while huge marigold sun entranced!
Orange were the butterflies, searching for delights, 
Whereas flame robins flounced and sang day and night!...
