A giant blue bowl
Hangs over petaled yellows
And the green I'm on...

Crossed legs beneath oak tree.
Omniscient repose....

Red petaled blooming 
rose
The aura of dew in the 
morning rise
I will always say, 'I love 
you'....

Less lustered now, the once proud sheen
Of that silken-petaled rose,
As from the wilting touch of a hundred hands
Its fragrance, festered flows....

So fragile, I could count the veins
   beneath her pink petaled softness.

In ruffled skirts, like a gypsy she danced, 
   coaxing her unopened buds to bloom....

A shoot escapes biting this stars ray,
E'er so oft rain splashes near its day,
Lil glow often drawn in braids,
Wind tussles ardent in trades,
A petaled sheath loosens for display....

Devine bride in white

    floating down rose petaled aisle 

                                fountains of pleasure

         Why should I shatter
                  Impeccable petaled-rose
                                 When I know it's NO?

Daisies 
By Michelle Morris 
22/07/2020 

Daisies, daisies, 
So friendly and fun;
Sweet petaled faces dancing 
In the summertime... 

Always a joy, 
To behold every day;
Especially to brighten, 
Whatever you want to say...

Expressive plum-tipped lips have cursed the fog
enchanting senses- snaring drifting minds
the petaled blush within the mist of Northwood bogs
is fair Calypso dancing there amidst the sheets
her scent a whispering tale that held agog-
a gallant hero like Odysseus....

coral sunset warm
mother's fish curry

attic
childhood memories dusted

if petrichor were petaled 
jasmine-scented night 

~

broken cistern
wafer-thin heart

~

fast city life
smoky haze

And as the shades of flannel fade away
I sit beneath a bulbous smiling moon
Whose shadows bid a gentle breeze at play
To kiss the petaled face of sleeping bloom
And cause the waking rose to blush all day.

We are the ordinary..
We are the simple...
We are the thousand petaled lotus flower... blooming  with extraordinary grace
We unfold with all passions power...
We are the ancestors...kissing the Earth...touching the sky.. feeling the heart 
of our infinite universes, We the gods are inside out......

The green velvet leaves
Bring onlookers to look down
Upon red rose hips!

Red petaled blossoms
Tip the leaf and thorny branches
With splendid allure!

Petals shout out calls
Their leaves are green and spread
On thick thorny branches!...

why should I shatter
impeccable petaled-rose
when I know it's "NO".

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Forgetting my love
It's hard here within my heart
But it's fun in mind.

I see you little flower
Bright and quick 
Spiralling in your own
Desiccated gown
Of earth and dust
Sadness grows 
In the crack of broken
Concrete
Calling to 
My pedestrian
Tendencies 
Careful
Once 
Meted out 
I will 
Trample around your 
Petaled face
As I lumber through 
The 
The streets
In the 
Cold light of morning...

I wonder, do daises tell? 
Among us, who hasn't tried 
More than once petals to expel? 

Watch whispers of white-hearted hope 
From within this circled chain; 
Petaled path on which we grope. 

Numbers hold this uncertain 
Mystery until they're plucked 
One by one.  Life is taken 

From each one because of lore,
To assuage the human heart. 
They die to make your love soar!...

I love the tickle of pouring rain on my palm
Marvel at caressing sand on my toes
I like bird songs, my music when morning comes
A time to relish,  touch a satin petaled rose.
You say I seem to be rather queer
With my world that's seen so differently
By now I think you know it's very clear
I've got the habit of thinking... in poetry.

arched mirror on the cold stone,
blackglorious dress,
Xoloitzcuintlis at heel.

quiet reflection,
forfeiting Frida’s apparition
beneath her underclothes.

her fate was switched
from doctor to artist
painfully so

she’s pretty with eyes closed,
heavy-petaled headgear.

Diego paints ash on canvas,
surrealist unibrow lifts —
Frida’s suffering relinquished.

Completing the Pattern
by Michael R. Burch
 
Walk with me now, among the transfixed dead
who kept life’s compact and who thus endure
harsh sentence here—among white-petaled beds
and manicured green lawns. The sky’s azure,
pale blue once like their eyes, will gleam blood-red
at last when sunset staggers to the door
of each mute mausoleum, to inquire—
"What use, O things of erstwhile loveliness?"...

red-orange, petaled beauty,
breathing you in, when off-duty. 

Calm, are hurricane thoughts of I
when situations tempt me to cry. 

Oh, you colour of gorgeousness,
set in vase, effortless flawlessness. 

Days become far less doom ~ 
with you, always, in full bloom.

shaking desires
hot peppered emotions
burning passion
tasting delicious 
delightfully spicy
warming the insides

inhaling sweet fragrance
blossoming in 
the soul
floating this heart
one budding 
red rose
with a feathered touch
silken soft petals
falling deeply
with you love

on a bed 
nestled inside
within dreams 
upon a petaled blanket
sweetly scented
with heavenly you
my beautiful angel...

The mountains bear the bitter cold
The valleys breath a gentle wind
The clouds pour down, the thunder rolls
The Lord God says begin again
The flower points a petaled nose
The grass lays down, the herd to graze
The sun gleams bright in its great glory
The angels bow their heads in praise
The birds so graceful soar the skies
Ocean creatures swim the deep
The Lord God says begin again
The earth beds down in slumber sleep...
