Petals gather in her hands, a hush of color cupped like breath;
sunlight leans across her face, tender as a secret kept close;
in her stillness blooms a truth—beauty is what the heart remembers.
In the evening quiet hours silence speaks loudly of her
while outside the stars forget to twinkle and the moon hides its face
until morning sun brightens day and sparkles on dewdrops.
He recalls her laughter when spring flowers begin to bloom
each one chosen carefully as if she knew they would long outlast
her temporary stay with him upon this hallowed earth.
There are thorns on the summer roses that are quick to prick
the unwary garden wanderer as he selects the perfect
bloom for lost love now sleeping beneath a marble marker.
Winter arrives quite suddenly with icy cold despair
and wind whipping drafts against the lonely cabin once built for her
his rose of youth long dead and gone he lays his head to rest.
Twigs and dried leaves talk timeless tales cuddling together.
Parrot pandemonium camouflage under fading flowers
I've witnessed seasonal cycles. Is the deep calling me?
In perpetual sunshine of years, a bouquet a day,
varicolored and beautiful, chanting blooms' warm, deep yellow praise!
My garden gleeful is always looking on the bright side.
I bought fake flowers because I hear they last forever.
Could care less what's said about this place where I won't live forever.
Losing her had a bigger impact, knowing she's gone forever.
Powers of language of flowers hold significance in my grief.
Pink lily reminding me my grandfather found relief.
Tiger lily reminding me my cousin's life was brief.
garden in my coral dream showcases roses and violets,
gorgeous flowers swaying, fluttering petals in misty breeze,
intoxicated birds croon to each other, are they love-sick!

Roses - Violets
It is ruled that roses are red and violets are blue
yet best in scarlet as would maroon too and lavender is said
truer than blue ice hue or tepid these flowers for you.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue - a Valentine Challenge in one of five ways
~~Andrea Dietrich: Judged 2022 February 13
Tulip heads mingle with paper whites, floral party escalates.
An Guests bunnies and squirrel’s join the celebration.
Beneath the dogwoods, dandelion heads awake.
Magical, musical raindrops skydive through the atmosphere.
The clouds may growl and grumble, but you just keep dancing.
Earth’s flowers drink you, with a passionate thirst;
You bring sweet life.
Winter hangs onto the top of the mountain with some snow
Spring has taken over below, with greenery, flowers and warmth
While cold memories are transformed in the miles of beauty

I hope the flowers I smell the petals my nostrils swells
Beautiful the arrangements swell my eyes adjurations colors
Variations of the reds the yellows and all types whites

The Sun Shines on Flowers and Humans
the sun rises over the flowers and grasses shine in
beaming down rays of vitamin D heathy for plants and humans
radiant kisses embellish tulips and carnation rising

hand in hand, where clustered flowers gently swayed in splendid hues,
they strolled along the lake towards their favourite wooden bench;
now, empty, it waits in vain for their return; where has love gone?

Colours of Spring
Spring returns, as the vibrant colours appear amidst greens,
Cheerful heart, blooming flowers, pleasant breeze, melody in wind,
Shy white clouds, reddish yellow hue gets reflected in the blue!
