Short Sepal Poems

A precious petal
A falling leaf,
A dew-damp sepal
A kiss
A perfume, the
most precious droplet
Of tear-drop dew,
A kiss of love
from Me,
to You....

pain and anguish pours through the heart
when they compare thy art;
smiling across the lament 
when they snub your latent talent,
they cannot procure the nectar 
by peeling petal by petal
sepal by sepal,
can only be snuck up by a bee.
All are bright consummate flowers 
yet they smell disparate....

I want to hold the little wonder

I want to feel the little thunder


Of the strength in the pedicel

Of the union in the receptacle 

Of the calm in the pistil 

Of the adventure in the stamen 

Of the smooth flow in the sepal 

Of the endless beauty in the petal


I want to learn of the tubule wonder

I want to learn from the weak thunder...

One corner house in my street,
Where grows sepal like
Lovely, light, bougainvillea
Spread like a white sheet.

Overflows upon the compound wall
Attracts each and every passersby
Densely, bounty bougainvillea
is like a creamy froth about to fall.

On this brightly white flowers
Insects creep, dew settles, twinkles flash
 Adding glow to rich bougainvillea
Like a touch of sea breeze on cold hours....

Garlands draped and strung. 
White creeper blossoms
 reminiscent of  snow
penta-hedron, vase shaped, 
 single bells.  Five sepal-ed,
 finial, fillistered,
 flower bowls. 
Such delicate geometry
 predestined from a seed 

Destiny, fate and duty
will always mock one another.
Power struggles between courage
and cowardice, rest in the lap of higher powers.
Increments, irrelevant to atoms.

All that will unfold 
is manifest in flowers.

Let destiny create a distance... 
Firestorm of roses will set an inferno...
Arrow goading the scented sceneries. 

Maniac in love, heartlands of homophiles.
Lovely heart cradled in my lover's arms... 

Glass dome saving the last petal...
Canvass the soil for a sepal... 

Eclipse eyes yearning forever this memory, 
Century of love marking romantique history,
Chancery charming this unsettled elapse... 

Bowing on the vow of your untangled fragrance, 
Heart on your heart always....
