served at Passover seders
symbolic of haste.
Square-shaped and corrugated

without them,
I could not be able to write,

Mourn for you are torn

Lustrous, regal, symbolic, a crown

Withering, drying, petals fall down

Held between fragile fingers

The perfume of the rose lingers

Symbolic Hearts

After falling in love with a tart
He said: ”I’ll send her a symbolic heart”
His friends quite perplexed
Cried: “you’re oversexed”
Don’t do it who knows what you’ll start.

Empty promises bursting at the seems
Relentless misgivings turbulent love
Once interwoven like a silken glove
Lost but not forgotten always treasured
Symbolic reveries coiled hearts measured...

Fore,we can truly,only find it
from the mirrored expressions of the heart

But...if we must,in need of description
allow that one word...truth...be....love.......

Dew dripping
Dim light
Birds chirping
Restful night

Dark streaming
Cool quiet
Plants growing
Eyes bright

Wet grass
Thoughtful moments
Sunlight brass
Symbolic omens

Sky of glass
Petals open
Earth laughs
Morning poem...
