narcissus, the pond
across the surface ripples
disillusionment
dead in the water, floating
not so koi now, bloated carp

She
became
an echo
to another's 
voice-
he,
in love
with himself
transformed by a
gaze.

If Narcissus had just been a female
  she would not have been infamous at all

Admiring her locks in clear water
  she might have been anyone’s daughter...

Ancient Greek Olympians competed nude
   Half-naked Narcissus admired his image by a pond
Today's narcissists take selfies
   ~ with most of their clothing on...

How Narcissus
Admiring his reflection 
In the water 
Must have felt, 
Captivated by his own beauty.

Elated rebirth of Spring
narcissus leaves salute sun
joys of nature have begun
faeries celebrating dance and sing.

                                               Narcissus slowly emerge

Spring
showers
fuel flowers
for Narcissus
Crocus, Trillium
Tulips, Snow Drops
and Bluebell
sprout in
spring.

many daffodils
beautiful on windowsills
narcissus appeals

one yellow divine
single or double refine
purist flower mine

dainty and sublime
standing hours at a time
waving in their prime

Oh there within her shining gaze -
     
     That wondrous, shimmering sea,

               I found reflected in those depths ...

     One unmatched stunner ... ME!

now behold, self-loving self-beholder

           your self-seen self perfection

                     cracked mirror's reflection


but  outside screams a pettifogging shrew

            mad landlady curses you

                      your rent long overdue!...

Wiggly squirmy fidgety Spring
The robin’s worms the crawling things.

A swarm of ladybugs on the wing.
Children fly on waiting swings.

Geese form squadrons in the air.
Narcissus bloom with scent fair.

And love finds a way to birth
to propagate the waiting earth....

some 
look in
      a mirror

see an unloved
child

some
like narcissus
stay in love

     with a reflection


some 
reflect
     on life

and truth
       it portends


some others 
greet the
      morning light

   too many 
      others 

cry at night...

 Baby buds in bloom
a good, cool drink from
sky-fountain is a
welcome refreshment
for newborn blossoms.

scented roses
bright tulip cups
white narcissus
drink heartily.

Crayola
color bursts
from green pods.

Springtime
floral
bouquet

Joy!

JONQUIL

You may know me as Jonquil
My cousins are daffodil and narcissus
A fringed cup surrounded by petals 
Each combining white with yellow
The latter, a hue with my own name
And I’m perfumed, but they are not
Distinctive yet I shouldn’t be proud
As amaryllis, we are all still family

Young, people of the troupe members had to say
Poetry is a sin in Narcissus
Rock song is more problem than that
Another person of the theater company member
Poetry is an escape from self
The sun and the rock are the problems
There is a thing that can make a shadow there
It is an eternal problem...

Freud sent vision rays 
To the patient’s eyes,
Her smile scent broke 
Thin shell of silence. 
Why the lady proud
Sought a gloom’s veil,
Had her interest all 
In none but to herself?
Narcissus smiled leaning
Upon  the golden swing,
While lilies bloomed 
In the forest pond.
Cupid’s arrows too
Could not break the thrall....

Assorted spring flowers, naked, rise in morning sun 
Breaking through a thin blanket of snow, earth spun. 
Cascades of dainty narcissus smile with golden faces 
Drinking up the sun as morning warmth embraces.

NARCISSUS

Night seems so long
And loneliness strikes like a storm
Running away from miseries
Closing my eyes can't hide the emptiness
I know, I can't be with you
Sorry, I can't stop loving you
Saying my prayers that may time run so fast
Up to the moment when fate reaches your heart
So that when I find you again....
      'your love will ease all the pain!...

The're out
      the're out
Spring
announces with
         a shout-
Yellow
          yellow
     everywhere
look
         look
left or right
here,there
           anywhere-
under trees
            nodding
         in the breeze
braving
      March wind chill
narcissus
             amaryllis
       or
        if you
                 will
daffodil...
