Premium MemberA Leaf in the Woods

It earns its place under the sun in May -
A tiny speck against the evergreen. 
Nourished by raindrops poised for its display, 
Slim but what Glory! In grand Nature’s scene. 

In summer lush the flowers take the lead, 
They have it all - a beauty and such scent. 
Leaf in the woods, reluctant  to concede, 
Assumes supporting role in full consent. 
 
In Autumn flash the leaf - a centrepiece, 
Its pulsing palette wins and takes it all…
All Nature bends to seasonal caprice, 
Leaf in the woods, from triumph to the fall. 

Succumbs to weather whims, weak and worn-out,  
It’s fleeting life leaves nothing but a doubt.

Premium MemberEuphoria

The Botany Of Awe is inspiring,
wild in scent and with an intrepid hue.
All day and night with a mind inquiring,
petals should not be unnatural blue.

Buds germinate producing solid roots,
yet from the beginning they long to fly.
In no other dream are there substitutes,
euphoria leaves my heartbeat on high. 

Images dropping right out of daydreams
every piece is colored and fits just right.
Pulling aspects from incredible schemes,
soft meadows sit neon in the moonlight. 
 
Beaded stars and flowers full of comets,
magic feels about as good as it gets.

Premium MemberMy Heart is a Secret Garden

My heart bloomed from footsteps of the lonely
where their blossoms scent drifts slowly aloft
when sweet perfume was theirs and theirs only
in my secret garden of love so soft
where a wishing well was ringed with flowers
and love filled hunger deep with perfection
when our time was not days nor years but hours
as my heart bloomed with fragrant affection
this secret garden of promised lovers
has kept the shadows secret from these days
when flowers bloomed in decadent colors
and love became a winding flowered maze
  Where only the lonely could leave a trace
  And my garden became a restful place

Premium MemberLove’s Octaves

Skin-deep beauty, sure, is an attraction;
Perspectives, yet, must pass beyond the face.
Though fondness can tinge each human action,
Pleasure shouldn't be the goal of life's race.

As buds bloom forth into lovely flowers,
Shouldn't romance pave paths to partnership?
When companionship cools us like showers,
Compassion beads—like honey from combs—drip.

As banks of ponds and lakes of eras break,
And stagnant waters (good and bad) mingle
With streams and brooks in an unending ache...
One's deep divine self does not stand single.

Our wordless words take flight beyond the sight,
Where selfish shadows yield to infinite height.

Premium Memberfor you the elder willows will still weep

sweet spring awakens earth from winter sleep 
with bold shouts of color playfully laid
on flowers, chirping birds and butterflies~ 
for you the elder willows will still weep,
and here in softness of the springtime glade
our nature's own dear Mother will advise

those who come with heavy heart’s hopeless pleas, 
those whose love of life has been sudden frayed 
by winter's last cold storm in human guise~
now you may take ease 
storms have made you wise.


Premium MemberFrozen Blossom

May’s blossom on the bush was my delight.
Her birth came soonest of all the flowers’.
When was it that she first beheld sun’s light?
Did it fall on her in dawn’s first hours?
I wonder how she felt when sudden rain
fell, pounding her before her blossoming,
and did she know how short would be her reign
once she’d emerged to greet the world in spring?
An unexpected snowfall came one day
before her sister roses could join her.
How strange it was to have that freeze in May.
I could almost hear it – her silent brrr -
as she – poor, frozen blossom in the snow -
no more would feel her rosy life force flow.

Premium MemberFlowers Beneath My Feet

Flowers beneath my feet ever perfumed
When love freely flows from beautiful eyes
So sensual surrendering and bloomed
Wondrous and tender, basking in our sighs
Magical timeless moments to sustain
From soft textured love of truth shared as one
Where bliss warmly glows in our heart's domain
And the morning light bathes our skin in the sun
When we hear love whisper with each embrace
As this journey of love is ours to know
We'll steal kisses remembered and retrace
And open moist eyes to an afterglow
  In our garden's amorous allurement
  That enticed our souls with love's enchantment

Premium MemberI Wear Your Handwriting

With invisible ink you have written
your name upon me like a spring flourish
of flowers budding anew each morning
to remind love is a fragrant ribbon
binding together the ones we cherish,
and thus you have never left me yearning. 

You are a thread writing the tapestry
of beauty that life will softly burnish
as love flows and is endlessly warming
our hearts, world and infinite galaxy~
forever transforming.

Premium MemberThe Outlaws Cyhydedd Fer Sonnet

Hard wood dusted by glitter bombs
picking flowers a new breed comes.
 
Clean explosion of pink sparkles
lands all over dancing circles.

Petals with roots of vinyl boots, 
urban dresses, and old school suits.

Double decades let’s mix ‘em up,
pour a vibe straight into that cup.

That stash of decaying perfume 
fertilizes this mongrel bloom.

The freshy will always vanquish,
loud as hell spouting old anguish.

Nothing rallies a flimsy cause,
so we take control as outlaws.

Premium MemberThe Power of Innocence

Innocence is a profound divine feature
Like a lotus leaf unmoistened from all vice 
Extolled in sermon talks by every preacher
Plunges like a cascade from the paradise

Shines with the purity of jasmine flowers
Like an unclouded crystalline dome, it gleams
As melodic as a birdsong from towers
Pristine like the quiescent water in streams

Innocent people wish for others' welfare
Their lives are open diaries in all spheres 
With no inhibitions all things they do share
Their hearts unspoiled like stored honey for years

Innocence is God as He is unattached
Replicate Him and to Him perfectly matched.

Premium MemberEssence of Spring Flowers

When gentle zephyrs stir the slumbered earth, And vernal sun doth gild the waking glade, The buds arise to herald spring's rebirth, In painted hues, the promised bloom displayed. See tulip flames and daffodil's bright gold, Sweet violets blush in emerald shade, The lilac's breath in purple dreams unfold, All nature’s tapestry adorned, arrayed. Yet beauty's reign, though splendid, soon must fade, As fleeting as the morning’s crystal dew. So blooms are lost as seasons’ debts are paid, Their fragrant glory but a moment’s view. Yet in brevity, spring flowers depart; A timeless essence, woven in the heart.

Premium MemberThe lonely weed

I thrive where others struggle to survive,
for my needs are few, yet my wings are strong,
vibrant in my being, feeling alive,
though judged by others I do not belong.

Just as on flowers thorns are unwanted,
I’m treated as a leper, always shunned
but be this as it may, I’m undaunted,
from dawn to dusk by God’s healing light sunned.

Look not at my form but spirit within,
glowing with the same light that lights all lights,
sipping nectar from earth by going in,
invoking grace as rapture that delights.

Rebel, a nerd, I follow not the herd ~
Yet hope my words will be by your heart heard

Premium MemberOn Reading Keats’s ''Ode on a Grecian Urn''

On reading Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn,”
     and moved by that sweet, dulcet, deathless ode,
my kindled spirit through his fire doth burn,
     and yearns to tread his same resplendent road

of Poesy. Though Keats compels through early death,
     his measured music wakes eternal powers
of rhyme and awe. O sanctifying Breath!
     his words still bloom—a fragrant choir of flowers.

But poets such as he must soon perish
     (too soon!). Yet I receive his mantle; may
his genius fill my soul’s most ardent wish,
     to forge such odes as bide the Judgment Day.

These lines shall live if Keats my heart inspire,
for his “Grecian Urn” yet burns with deathless fire.

Premium MemberBeauty

Beauty is scattered all around.
In hills, vales, and lovely flowers 
In birds, beasts, and in a stream's sound
Beauty reveals her calm powers. 

In the form of grains of wheat-sheaves 
In heaps of rice, maize, barley, rye
She is found in the artful leaves. 
Beauty gleams in the clear blue sky.

Beauty glows in a worker's sweat.
She's in the struggles of the poor.
She's in every lowly's regret.
She's in compassion's kind grandeur.

She's in your day-to-day prayer.
Don't search! Beauty is everywhere.

Premium MemberPause of polarity interchange

Goodness and badness are opposite poles.
Who does not think of doing good sometimes?
Good and bad, just as the Poles have their goals.
The timing of chiming changes the rhymes.

"I'm the sun," I say. I'm the moon as well.
Shouldn't this 'I' move from the sun and moon?
There is a gap between heaven and hell.
When, lo., when I say, 'The judgement is soon?'

Does a dog become a cat? I don't know.
Darwin and Einstein had their times of thoughts.
Breezes turn into hurricanes and blow.
Flowers and thorns have their untimely knots.

With mud and wood between grave and coffin
I'm in my grave. You're welcome to come in!
