flowers are fading
as sun sets on the season
last tree rhapsodies
crowned beauty has met her fall
wild colors lie overall
barefoot she's running
all wet across the meadow
blouse full of flowers…
and excited boys whisper
she will scare our deer away!
At strawberry dawn
the new blue flowers glisten
Dreams pause to listen
as birds greet sunrise of mist
Later by golden rays kissed!
Spring flowers just bloomed
Senses' anticipation
Pretty location!
Blue flowers in a blue world
until washed in moonlight pearled!
autumn paints garden
flushed flowers wither and fall
they return in spring
to saplings of yearning hearts
life blooms with luster of love
snow clutches flowers
wilted buds hibernate long
to unfurl in spring
with tinged dreams of pallid hearts
pale visage shines with love’s glow
petals of roses
waft patina in spring air
like hue of your lips
quiver with my longing lilt
unsaid words float in fragrance
mist melts in blue sky
colors burst in my meadow
air drifts desire scent
enthralled by the sublime scene
I’m charmed by your spring beauty
A FLOWERING FLASHBACK
Beautiful flowers,
Once growing free in nature,
Now up for sale:
Nature's flowers reflecting
An ebon human flashback:-
A gurgling brook
Surrounded by large oak trees
Flowers everywhere
And a blanket for the ground
Best picnic place ever found!
Glass vial brimming
with distilled desire waiting
to be vaporized
on warm skin to fire the want
with scent of blooming flowers
Hollow taint remains
a genie swirls from the rub
whiff evaporates
hope lingers in the remnants
of what the genie scent sang
an almost autumn
scene unfolds outside window....
purple flowers bloom
yellow butterflies flit fast
mexican petunias wave
occasionally birds
come into view and hummers....
brown rabbit nibbles plants
a break in the fence somewhere
small animals enter there
summer swiftly flies
soon cooler nights, drier air....
hummers migrate south
mexican petunias die
birds at feeders seen outside
autumn tints garden
flushed flowers wither and fall
they return in spring
to sapling of yearning heart
life blooms with luster of love
petals of roses
waft patina in spring air
like hue of your luscious lips
quiver with my longing lilt
unsaid words float in fragrance
mist melts from blue sky
buds burst colors in garden
air wafts floral scent
enthralled by surreal scene
beauty of spring beguiles me
nothing seems to last
flowers weep faded petals
a faint scent lingers
once blooming in bright color
my poems have lost their appeal
emotions wither
wilted words whirl in the wind
bereft of beauty
I strive to remain rooted
hoping for droplets of love
Eileen Manassian
Sweet snowdrop bells ring!
The violets are coming
Days are chanting spring.
Crimson camelias call
from dreams near the garden wall.
Gold sun fields await
rich tulips of tomorrow!
Lily's never late.
Then pansies' pink faces greet
blue roses across the street.
a bush that flowers
with sweet tart berries in June
great for jams and pies ~
grandma made juneberry jam
when a little girl . . . I helped
Misty roses, red
with pink haze, orange lilies;
Lilac promenade.
Purple pansies on the porch,
dusk soon to carry the torch.
'At last' roses, peach
chocolate cosmos, shrouded,
Yellow daisies smile.
Gardens loved to distraction,
yet hold a strong attraction.
Blue irises, blurred
and black cherry carnations,
near green hydrangeas.
Subdued belles wear nature's veil
in hued dawn, of small detail.
He shall be a bee
Hovering round all of me.
A field of flowers
Petals flying all around,
As he collects my nectar.
Beautiful flowers
in a vase, reflecting love,
light up life with joy:-
Nature, giving life to life,
messaging human nature:-
