As winter
yields to spring
seeds wrinkled in time
join dormant flower bulbs
seeking sheltering dwellings
in purgatory catacombs of earth
and await the labor of nature’s rebirth....

petals and petticoats
mimes and marigots
blossoms and bubble boats
coal buckets and car coats
frazzle fritzes and fuzzy floats
germinating grouchy goats
muzzle loading mischief moats
ostracize ostrich’s olive oats...

Acceding blight, civilization despair.
Entwining fallacy, germinating history.
Ideology jaded, kill-joy labored.
Martyr naught.
Obstinate paladin, quick rumbling spreads,
tense unattainable vicious warning.
Xenophobia yap zipped....

Loud passion satisfied
Lovers lay in the lamplight
Joined together in mutual hush,
Silence does not scream as it used to
Light does not crisp the skin of the fragile 
Intimacy, germinating from a cloth chrysalis
Loving like lunas with
Dusted wings and an affinity for the light...

Blossom - A Didactic Cinquain


Blossom
Citron, scented
Germinating, thriving, nurturing
Ever so wilted
Prime

Blossom
Frailest, fragrant
Sprouting, favoring, flourishing
I could never believe it

good-looking gorgeous gregarious godmother of mine 
guards graceful gracious grateful great-grandma so fine 
giddy girls giving genuine gumdrops, guiding GIs to Guinea,
Generating ghastly ghostly gibberish unheard by many, 
Gently germinating geometric gelatin a plenty.
Golden goggles glowing good-naturedly
I like these giddy girls who giggle wholesomely....

Anacreontic Verse.


Planting a seed
germinating
birthed in the soil
a flower grows
to meet the sun
washed in the rain
born into light
tiny green shoots
natures children
God’s creation
tendered nurtured
bursting with color
delicate face
lifted up high
butterfly kiss
bees pollinate
making summer
a lovely place
pick for lovers
a warm embrace...

Flock of flickering colours
Held at bay by the plants
Where the green shoots
Pour some shaded in hues
Smoothing down their intensity.

The wind has joined in
In the general frolicking
To toss here and there
The petals of crimson roses 
Undone by the sun’s profusion.

Gates of senses open wide
To set vibrations of motions
Sporadic episodes in deep living
Germinating reveries of emotions....

I am a seed which
From you germinated
And you a place
Where I was sown
Grew and firmly rooted

I am a flower which 
From you sprouted
Grew well in the comfort
Of your cosy arms
Which like sepals
to petals 
In a flower wrapped
Me with tenderness

Your love was
A fertilizer for my growth
Food for my hunger
My warmth in coldness
It was Like water,
Air and sunlight
To a germinating seed...

Amidst the fallen leaves
 creep gray fluffy tailed chubby bubbs.
Fat and burly squirrel thieves
 stealing seed and nut but not as grub.
They dig and scratch the ground
 chattering to wake the town
and in the hardening earth
 they bury seed for all their worth.
When their hungry and ready to eat
 they've forgotten every treat.
In the spring the earth will give birth
 to germinating seed from the dirt....

She Came Home crying 
Fountains flowing from her lonely eyes 
Sorrow, the beauty that ever met her eyes 
She came home crying 

She lie down thinking 
Of her children, who are yet germinating
And her hopes, in them germinating 
She lie down thinking 

She knelt down praying 
Her hope is dead, no human consolation 
In the church, her source of consolation 
She knelt Down praying

april is the blessed month, germinating
sleepy seeds out of the lucid dreams ,sprouting
green vines from the promised land climbing
hibernating creatures under the white blanket
glancing melodious channel-billed cuckoos
happy roots dancing nostalgia
lovers on the naked bridge kissing
opening rain on the wasteland
ripples in our tormented
souls ,we are rejoicing
memories of your succulent aura
aroma of the new rain ,nascent mud
surfacing wants, waves are rising...

Errant clusters germinating tightly,
        I invite them in. 
        I welcome them.

Fighting infection is far from the possible.

        Didn’t you know that laughter is infectious?

Tiny colonies spread dis-ease,
         a ribbon of cellular folly along angry red flesh.

They flourish on the vanguard, quiet in the deep.
         Ebola, e-coli, erroneous children born and buried.

I rest with infection running rampant.

I live with the germs enclosed....
