Premium Member Water Lily Fairy

Floating magical fairy upon a water lily,
Blessing all of the living beings deep within a pond,
Casting spells of rejuvenation with flickerings of her wand.

Strange Water Lily, your petals
delicate as a rainbow.
Seeing your wonder in this moment
eases dark memories,
yet there in clear water below
your black, feathered roots
appear  strangely sinister.
Suzanne Delaney

Strangled Star

Sounds of burning water lilies
Disorient the future contours,
A shivery breath fills
My cheery corner.


The blazing shadow of the sun crushes
The sphinx of my star,
And the promises dissolve
Before the strangled star.

Premium Member A Poem About Nothing Meant Everything To Him

I'll choke on another water lily
I swear I will
no more ultimatums
please
and with pleasures as deep as your eyes 
grey
I've never felt such pain
deeper than blues, greens,
and grey
but I'll trade you a rose for a rose.

Premium Member Nuances of Pink

Water lily lake
in hot pink epoch of sun
Coral lilies bob
Fuchsia flight, dusk melodies
Salmon rose sends scents

Moonlight lake gleams, as
skies darken to amaranth
Pink daisy twilight
Gathering sweet raspberries
at red-violet day's end

The Water Lily

She rises from the murky
Depths of the pond;
Unsullied and undiscouraged.

The frog hops on her bosom.
The fish steals a kiss from her cheek.
The rain throws droplets on her

The withered leaves fall on her.
Her quietude is so strong
The pond sits in silence.

Premium Member Water Lily

Weeping willow creeping there
Amber light from melodic moon
Take a fuchsia flower for hair
Emerald embrace as love bloom
Romantic rose petals on blanket
Laid so beautifully 
Indigo kiss touches silver soul passion strategically 
Like lily floating in the lake
Your love does the same to me

Premium Member A Prisoner to Choices

Freshly liberated from an overgrown bushy trail, I saw myself skimming waist-deep in Lavender, Sentries to the rear, Hollyhocks, and Foxgloves, Bougainvillea to the left and, to the right of me, Chose a meadow of Prairie Smoke and Daisies, Held at a water lily pond airs Rainbow butterfly.

Poetic Expression

O' white clouds
You are my words of numbed soul
Flying on the sky without crying
Writing on that blue print
thousands untold stories of earth
and making it black- black clouds
on the depth chest of dark blue
and shedding as the crystal pearl 
on red-blue-white water lily

Premium Member Water Lily Mermaid

She lives among the vibrant water lilies,
She lives in the clear, freshwater pond,
She loves to tend her flower bed of peace,
As sunbursts tend the gardens of beyond!

She revels in warm, rife saffron sunshine,
Relishing the finest of two exotic worlds,
Like canaries plunge, upon grapes to dine,
In gold summer shine or moonlight pearled!

Stardust

In the shining of the stars,
I see you,
around their pulsating halos, 
you're there,
running free as a fawn in new snow,
fast and light as a fairy who glides on a water lily,
I visit you when the sun goes away,
to the other side
of the living globe,
I join you for a slice of a second,
a joyous reunion of souls,
til you evaporate,
and merge once more 
into your stardust gymnasium.

White water lily rooted deep
Profusive alba in flora peep;
Over the surface,upside down
Waterboatman-nature's clown.
Spiders spin their bubbled bell
Close to a ramshorn in crimson shell;
Stick insects,two inches long
Feed midst a tumultuous throng;
Mosquitoes,midges and water fleas
Bredd ' neath the shade of willow trees;
Rush,sedge in tall loose strife
In open ponds that team with life.

Half a Soul

There was a house.
There is a house.

There was a kite.
There is a kite.

There was a clock.
There is a clock.

When I
dig the earth
with a spade,

the earth falls into
the spade’s memoir.

The spade falls into
the earth’s memoir.

In the pond nearby,
a blue water-lily

does not fall
into anything.

It
calls out to the kingfishers,

saying,

Come,
have some fish and go.

I Am

I am the wind 
The morning star
The silver moon 
Shining so far

I am the mist
Upon the lake
And water lily 
For you to take

I am the night
The secret dream
And scary shadows 
That makes me scream

I am the day
With life to cope
Tears on my face 
I wish to stop

I am the eagle
Up in the sky
I am just me
Quiet and shy

I am the waves 
On stormy sea
I’m just a girl
I’m simple, me

WATER LILY

reflections..... 

           unfolding  from 
   
                    your silken-white hands

send mirrors            of yellow peace

           gently nourishing those who seek

                                healing         upon arrival

                                                         at your

Premium Member Rhapsody In Black

Softly the night falls,
Shadowing vacant halls;
My recent morning glory, 
Now is nature's history.

Petals bob in warm air;
Tweets of a love affair!
Racy brook, moon gleam,
A time has come to dream.

Night creatures very gay,
As night owl hoots away;
All humanity in a swoon-
A firefly night of June!

Toad hops on water lily,
Stars shine on tranquilly;
All the world speechless,
As if it died of happiness!

Thin Veil

I begin unlearning
the script, in irreality,
find myself

my shadow in intermission
envelops the virtue
peak of sorrow, silence of space,

give your hand, within clarity
of reason, inner globe
of light, your kiss melts.

A water lily grows 
in my palm, full of tears,
a terror strikes on thumb

like a dismembered limb
a veiled moon walks in night
to reach home.

The sun will find the road empty!

The Tale of Nelumbo Nucifera

Water-lily,
Floating on the ice-blue sea,
Away from your homeland.
Leaving thin, red, trails as you go.
Steering among the foreign, black-seal-dotted icebergs.
Electric-white lightening flashing,
And the chill of the Arctic winds,
Bombarding from all directions.
As you long for,
The lily-pad life,
Its comfort and kinship,
Now, but a past possession.
I, do, too.
Let us stiffen our lips,
Tighten our collars,
And dream.

a terror strikes on thumb

Premium Member Gray Bridge

Arched gray bridge across the lily pond
With the all seeing eyes that are put upon
Standing silently everyday enjoying the beauty
Of the lilies as they bloom and aroma display

Weeping willow reflected from your waters
Green rippling as your waters are softly stirred
Host of white lilies float and dream 
Cattails stand healthy and green

Green")

Seasoned Thoughts

To lose one's attention in the spell of a multi- hued water lily. 
Ignoring caresses from ever patient Breeze 
As memories of Winter's grasping clutch in early Spring 
Return on this late Summer's day to tease 
And yet the instant intense beauty of the flower 
Reminds one of the coming painted Fall 
With the Impressionistic pixel count of leaves 
To savor and to wander in with ease 
Ignoring still caresses from ever patient Breeze

Amazing white lily, beautiful as the sun rises above the horizon

Beauty like a delicate water lily is a passion deeply admired

Cherry lips and elegant high heel shoes with the same color

Dreams and charm of nature's surprise and endless miracle

Every little bud swell in bloom and spreading their sweet fragrances
