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...

   Half-naked Narcissus admired his image by a pond

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

A youth like Narcissus did grin
into deep, where he could not swim.
The reflection that he found,
to his mind, did so astound,
he jumped in to play with his twin.

"Wow! He's handsome", Narcissus would think
as he gazed at himself from the brink

Then he'd lean in to stare
at the lovely lad there

and that's how he'd wind up in the drink!...

PLEASED TO MEET YOU

It’s nice to see you in the pool
The sight of your face makes me drool
You look quite delicious
My name is Narcissus.
Oh, it’s me, I do feel a fool

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

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

In marooned mind shaped in webbed design
the strands of psychic hues are patterned.
In its fold rainbow secrets lie
as captive of my own making,
turning into Narcissus in introvert insight,
where I’m with me as an aberrant recluse.

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

Let those failed lights
keep their starry darks,
no hidden treasures have
they – 
           gems who hoard
their sparks, as bushel
a-cap heaven’s dearest
light,

blessed with angel appearance 
and nature 

now in free mirror fall

kingdom sovereign pool of self 

worships self-love, that’s all --
