Mist

The mist,
Dances,
like ballerina heels,

It kisses,
The fountains,
And irises,
Bows and sways on

Cracked Film

If I cannot dream in any other hue,
Then stretched upon my eyes sticks a blue film,
Therefore my cornea cracks and shatters
Because irises trick both the fake and true.

Quietude

Quiet are the hyacinths
Underneath the snows
Irises and violets
Even the red rose
Today are lying silent
Underneath the snows
Daffodils and lilacs
Even the red rose.

INTIMACY

Interweave ecstasy
Intertwined tangibly
Infusion of your smile
Irises make me blush
I crave your mind and heart
Intimacy with you 
Idyllic life for two

Premium Member Irises

White like the snow, stands
Alone supported by strong stem
So different you

Surrounded by kind
But dark dark purple showy
They lean into you

(Irises, Saint-Remy C. 1889 by Van Gogh)

Hazel Irises

Eyes burn red;
sticky lines streak
down cheeks
flushed pink.

Moisture clings
to wilting lashes,
breaths are 
ragged and harsh.

Doubt casts a shadow 
over hazel irises,
warping images
projected at them.

Premium Member In the Moment Irises

Purple irises lapping up sunlight No regard for tomorrow Basking in the moment. Standing in soldier-like rows, salute sun; Violet blue uniforms Lint less in summer’s breeze.

Irises With Gypsy Dresses

The irises,
In van goghs,
Dreamy canvas,

Sway,
Like lovely ladies,
In purple gypsy dresses,

To a still lilys sonata,
As the roses and sunflowers,
Sigh in vivid chorus,
And hues
Reynaldo Casison
Form: Lyric

Premium Member Tinkering Hands

We would like to
eat steaks in Alaska
or fry battered mushrooms,
but the there is money
to be made
in the Southland.
The irises bloom here thickly,
and roses bleed,
while tinkering hands
use up the day.

Veiled Irises

To  explore the mystery,
Behind veils of irises
Covering sinful beauty;
I am imprisoned, no less
By the pain your look suggests.

Premium Member Gazing Irises

The irises are so purple bright
glistening and gazing in the night
starry back drop out of sight

Picture perfect as the full moon
past the horizon of gloom and doom
from days that bloom in late June

Like Van Goghs Irises

The curvaceous,
lake,

The waves,
shimmer,

With evening stars,

Like Van goghs irises,
We sat side by side,

One carefree summer,
Ethereal,

Its leaves,
Swayed,
Within us,
And the moon glowed

swarm of dragonflies
cascading on quiet lake---
    burst of hues explodes


perched on grass' easels
crepe wings swoop on irises, reeds---
    ballet of light twirls

I watch fields, as nature
Invites pastoral bliss…
Irises and oaks glow
Imbued with morn’s fresh soil;
Igniting  rural charm
In  mind’s eye . O hometown
Illumines peace … earth’s gift!

Premium Member Spring Brings Fairies

Silent all winter the stone bird bath
frozen in time.  Autumn debris covered
where in spring
a fountain of daffodils erupt….
Between carpets of velvet moss- hushed breath
purple faces of mini Irises
Bespeak fairies 

Hearts joy on the wing.

All the Stars

Autumn lakes,
Leaves upon the green,
Crescent sweet in the sky,
and Your Beauty glows,
In all the stars

Mango wind,
Lilly in your hair, irises upon the shore,
Hem sweet in the wind,
And Your Beauty glows,
In all the stars
Reynaldo Casison

Premium Member Irises

Impetuous stems

Reaching out early in a quest for sun

Impatient to reveal their lavender glory

Spring harbingers

Emanate golden mustaches on cheerful faces

Showing a sense of humor

Clovers

How do the green clovers,
feel,
In the Autumn sun,
And Moonlight,
Embraced by the high maples,
caress of mango wind,
And a sweetly beautiful lady,

They feel the blush,
Of her Beauty,
Its irises and rose,
And enchanted kisses,
Of its hymns
