Oasis

azure ocean waves
         cascade against fervent tides-

Be my nemesis
be theoretically fundamental 
to yourself
Spit your spit in the sky fountain
Throw florid ladies out of windows
Their winkles falling away
like shredded paper

Desire


She picked his poetic flowers
Her tender hope a crumbly seed
Each morn, in wait to taste his feed
She craved him till eve’s florid hours
In need to sate her stark bowers

Purple Lows

An overwrought poem, I suppose
Might go florid describing a rose
But there’s something much worse
Than an overblown verse –
It’s the mind from which flows purple prose.

Bulldozer Man

You cut the rivers in half
bulldozed the banks edge
bristled the green trees
and threw florid ladies into the vetch
your old winkles
falling into shredded paper
your conversation not always edifying

The Round Garden

The cerulean river
veers its imperfect bights
through unbending 
rigidity of fixed earth.
My life's goal
as a square flower
of florid constancy
is still to thrive
in porcelain conformity
of a round garden.

Valentine For His Flower

Florid bouquet like a breathless waterfall.
Love’s vainglorious velvet lipstick.
Old-fashioned hips, voluptuous curves.
Wanton dozens sensuously strewn on stage.
Everywhere they praise his rosy star.
Riveting ruddies for his Valentine.

Shapes

The florid footprints of hussies
seeped upon the black rug.
The florid heart of a saint crippled at the
fallow door.
The laughter of a sober count guised the howl
Of a callous whore.
count,
Composed a strangely shaped finger,
count your curses, ---
And Death was the raincoat I wore.

Colors of a Wintered Life

Imbued rose colors
of birth. Sky tinted billowed
petals, junked. Florid

gardens, immaculate.
Scents of citrus heavens. Bloodshot
tinctured cotton

colors. Rubicund 
chalk crumbles, powders highlands
thrusting. An ingress

kerfs a hyloid 
barrier. Cruer clots. Spook.
Cimmeran smudges.

Blush of Dawn

From Heaven's height comes lucent light Spectacular skies of a sanguine sunrise Where peace prevails as men set sails Upon swirling seas amidst a balmy breeze As Dawn displays her dappled haze With a florid flush of rouge toned blush May 24th, 2022 Bite Size Poem no. 44 Contest Hosted by Line Gauthier

Footprints

cresting waves
carry waning sunlight--
footprints vanish
 
      *     *     *      
 
gold
oozes
from the sun 
like ambrosia   
infusing the sea
with honeyed wine
'til each wave
glitters
gold 
 
waves
roll in
to dance with
waning sunlight
past florid shorelines
where footprints fade
erased by
cresting
waves

The Alchemy of Love

With every taste of wine and sweet perfume,
The florid touch of night grows ever wilder
And wraps the heart in evanescent bloom,
Which gives the mind new fantasies to ponder.

The crisp moscato rushes through the veins,
Unfurling blithe delights of youthful glories.
It is undue and fruitless to explain
The alchemy of love in sober stories.

Belladonna

Lavish wicked exile
Florid amends futile
Beware o’ noxious veins
Fatal nature remains

Faultless lulling bell
Malign lethal quell
Belladonna most fair
Nary mercy to spare

Lavender-hued bane
Deceit assured reign
Hush now carnal lilt
Expiry nigh upon wilt

Ne’er partake blithe sip
Toxic upon mortal lip
Alas formidable jane
Elixir harbors chicane

Wasteria

Violaceous lulling bell
 Enchantment be thou spell
Prodigious tortile entwine
Weathered be thy vine

Solstice utmost fair
Lay waste to arctic air
Embedded mossy root
Colossal venue afoot

Keeper of florid bliss
Ambrosia ne’er remiss
Petals supple blush
Lavish wisteria lush

Wispy balsam waft
Caress be e'er soft
Atop verdant bough
Tender be thy sough

Dream of Feudalism

Florid gold funds greed's frivolity

                Sedated mandate of sodden monotiny 

           Forever renewing fields ripen with magnitude 

               Fervent farmer forges quest of fortitude

Cherry Blossoms

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."  Aristole

pink
snow flakes
blush en mass
fragrant feathered
flamingo clouds flock
in arms of babbling spring
wrapped in peach shades of soft dream
petals spreading pristine shimmer
enchanting florid dress, poised princess
in pretty cherry trees pure love blossoms

Gladiolus

Florid elegance ablush
Nestled in gardens lush
Pigments triumph aplenty
Resilient verdant sentry

Colossal erectile shoots
Ingrain deep abyssal roots
Precious tis platinum spun
Abreast arising sun

Glorious tis supple reign
Aubade beauteous engrain
Vibrant sword lily plant
Borne on Gaia’s decant

Traverse archaic path
Helios waning wrath
Shadows await dusk
Abscond obliging musk

Pretentious

I shared my florid words 
about our torrid love 
with an ardent lover, 
who exclaimed propitiously 
that they were astonishing;
then solicitously, 
she asked me to elucidate,
how did this prestidigitation occur;  
from whence did I extricate
these words of exultation,
these harmonic chords of verbiage,
that resonated so intimately
with her psyche.

When the real question is:
how did they find me?

Said Death

"When I come for you resolutely,
Don't bend before my deadly summons.
Tarry not like a galery slave,
But like a courteous host behave."
Said death.

"When I come for you,
Never lie dreading under the dust.
Know it's only when the seeds rot
That the florid sprouts."
Said death.

"When I come for you,
Strut like an indomitable foe.
With hands swinging and head held high,
To be welcomed by the angles of sky."
