Short Scentless Poems

Unscented flower,
made of malleable plastic
it is not a flower that can be smelled... !...

Blindness seeing vision

Tasteless flavorful bitten

Deafened crackling sound

Deathly hearts pound

Touch less feeling miss

Breathless calm kiss

Scentless perfumed skin

Soulless spirit full within...

SKY  FLOWERS



Butterfly flowers in the sky
On  airy petals  they  fly by

And colors surprising as the sun in Kerry
Suddenly  bright  between blossom and berry

Silent, scentless, restless, catching
The eye of people watching...

With neither head nor tail
Sans any begin or end

Disliked as barren desert land 
Despised as a misborn child

Tasteless wine
Scentless perfume

Ignorance in disguise
Wisdom in distress

Fortune of fools
Scorn of sages 

Save me, O Most Wise
From these malicious Clips...

Vacant cache 
Arid well 
Hollow cave 
Silent knell 

Stony flesh 
Scentless smell 
Frozen heart 
Fractured shell 


That was before... 

Lively laugh 
Refreshing dew 
Treasured time 
Vibrant hue 

Awakened sense 
Brightened view 
Love's aroma 
Found anew

Flowers with scent

Filled the world beautifully

With its real pure souls...



Some scentless flowers

Disguised with fake scent

As it is pure and real...



Petals with the bribe and corruption

Partayed as the beautiful soul

Yet, flowers had many flaws...



Pure flowers vanished 

Among the winds of exploitation 

As prejudice started to win the world....

Drowning in deep bruised darkness
I search for heartbeats lost within, 
Vapors that veiled the vermilion of sunsets, 
Orchestrating a funeral for moon-kissed vows, now deceased.
Riddled with regrets and unspoken apologies, 
Creating confusion across the constellation, whilst I ponder, was-
Every rose in our garden a scentless lie?...

Every Spring they march relentless
    ugly as sin and almost scentless

  My well-groomed lawn devastated
    annual ambitions again frustrated

  'Cos' 'Wendell's Weed Killer' didn't work
    though highly touted by expert jerks

  At $65 a bag, the stuff wasn't cheap
    with joy I sowed, in tears I reaped  

  But not to worry, I'll pick a bouquet of 'Dandy Lions'
    for my wife next Sunday ~ 'With Love from Brian'...

She drew the clouds apart
bid me: “Look beyond”
my darkness

exhale a cleansing breath
whisper: “Let it be”

wave an open hand
in silent peace

inhale the unheard cries
of scentless petals
falling

listen to the mantric drone
of honey bees

watch the darkness shift
through thinning veils

ease into the light
that is your own

She drew the clouds apart
so that I might see
my darkness
