Sparkling white pearls in sun-rays gold
Adorning dew drops glint-morning arose
On silken-red aura, petals velvet unfold
Flaunting glamour of expressions bold
Exuding fragrance floral splendor chose
Luring passions heart rhythms compose
Revealing hints endearing sights disclose
In language of love, poise of ruby rose.

longing, love,
Our love eternal an enduring infernal
Thru galactic mist it shall always exist
Our love undying magically mystifying
How can I resist since you I’ve kissed
Our love forever an endless endeavor
Thru celestial skies our spirit never dies
Our love in hell a fragile empty eggshell
They will chastise within lamenting lies
Our love reborn I shall obediently adorn
Your ever presence a potent pleasance
Our love Galactic with clusters climactic
A floral fluorescence a lust luminescence.

No desperate lover wants a fleur
with one too many loves-me-nots.
Should ever such a fleur occur,
be everything but soft with her.
Be sure to tell her just how mad
you were with her result,
and how the extra loves-me-not
could not have been love's fault.
That flower was not just to you;
therefore, no plucking should you do
again. You should do this instead:
forget the fickle flowerbed!
I left the garden and its woes,
I left the lily and the rose,
and left the dreaded floral sun,
on which my desperate plucks were done!
No longer should you ask of them
if you are meant to be with him!
Discover for yourself what's true!
I did!--and he replied,
"I do."

love, true love,
Sweet floral wine aged with a fine distinction
permeates violet fluorescence through the air
silenced souls and the years cut into the night
and wrapped about the pinkest moon reunite
Love held at bay bringing life to weathered sails
under whispered breath and last nights first kiss
eyes widen with each anxious glance embraced
as time slowly tics hearts become gallantly graced
Flushed with feelings captured in a glow anew
It's never, never too late for a love that is true

I stand upon our Makakilo hill
And gaze toward the valley calm and still.
The brilliant sun will soon be rising high
Morphing rays of gold in the twilight sky.
The clouds are rimmed in light as Sol ascends.
Another day in paradise begins—
As birds begin their chorus in the trees
Our flag waves softly in Hawaiian breeze.
A floral scent embraces humid air
Of heaven's divine fragrance sweet and fair.
I love to rise before the dawn each day
Enriched by nature's wonders as I pray.
I see the good in all mankind and know
That peace will come to nations as we grow.

family, life, love, nature, seasons, social, sympathy, me,
The majestic, strong-willed beauty I hardly know
Hued in perfection of limpid white, pink and yellow
Ever steady and loyal to the rich soil I’ve never sow
Rendering sweet bloom, even if, my summer waned
Alive always at the onset of rain…of sorrow and pain
At the lowest ebb of life, a smile, from you I truly gain
Nurturing in silence the swollen heart, again and again
Lovely charm of floral trumpet shaped lives, without me
In a tiny pot, but never raise a hue and cry, for me to see
Lonesome solitude, besetting her when cold winters pee
Yet, she keeps and maintains a rare elegance, just for me

birth, kiss, nature, seasons, spring,
As solemn winter days recede,
and snow dissolves for verdant trees,
leaves sprout in awe of season’s sun,
rising to heights of a wren’s song.
Then, reach with budding, fertile limbs,
and cradle fragile eggs within.
The sunlit charms come days of March,
and April’s soft, refreshing rain,
together grow spring’s miracle,
the boisterous floral birth of May;
And I conspire with warm winds,
to relive spring’s bright days of youth.
When blooming love was carved then shared
a kiss below gold, honey skies.

death, life, love, rose, spiritual,
When I ascend into immortal light,
Beloved, gather up red roses laid
upon my grave before dark skies pervade,
then toss abreast our silver stars of night.
Reflected amber softens crimson sight.
Come feel my soulful touch in petals wade.
How lovely does our waters bathe the glade
as blooms transform from bleeding red to white!
This image wafts between my dreams in sleep
of you and I'm caressed eternally
by heaven's floral streams aglow, As you,
awake at dawn with teary eyes drawn deep.
So, promise when I fade externally,
red roses bled from stone shall drift anew.

In silence the town sleeps
We snuggle close for just a while
On soft padded feet the night creeps
I see the lust in your smile
And try to hold you back awhile
You crush the roses on my chest
To feel my racing heart beat
As the rhythm reaches a crest
The room is filled with searing heat
Oh the teardrop tastes so sweet
As sunlight enters the bridal room
Sleepily I purr on the rug
Loving the floral, musky perfume
You kiss my lips with a face so smug
And lightly push me towards the coffee mug

love, passion
While each breath is exhaled
In synch with the strike of second hands
Patience becomes an unwanted friend
Nearing, we hear, we tempt
With life given to the depths
As our eyes seduce our minds
Death to the space between
As we push through and past
To become a floral arrangement
In the vase of passion

blessing,
Oblige my rhymes that tell of you,
Delight in choice of words of praise;
Explore word mimes in tints that cue.
Thought frames a poise to touch and raise,
Obsess the glow of joy that leaps.
You are the soul of fest I prize,
Outline the flow as feelings grip,
Urge love one whole to cast warm spice.
Meet moments kind in this fond trance,
Yield happy touch of cheer you bring.
Display deep finds in journey dance,
Embrace sweet nudge of selfless flings;
Attend my dear to lovely talk,
Rest precious cheer in floral walk.

lovebeautiful, beautiful, love,
Valentines Day is almost here!
A beautiful card and a Floral Bouquet,
will express how I feel,
and enhance what I'll say!
Romantic words to convey my love,
and show how much I care!
The aroma of beautiful flowers,
to the one whose love I share.
An "I Love You" gold bracelet,
and a box of chocolates, too!
A chain with a heart shaped locket,
to show my love is true.
I'll take her out to dinner.
Then maybe a movie or a show!
I'll treat her like a Princess,
and ask her where she'd like to go.
I'll show her that I love her,
and will always hold her dear.
Not just on this special day,
but 365 days a year!

I was a Moon in a dark abyss
Wandering alone in tormented solace
As aimlessly as a fish in bowl
Glumly glad within my alien abode
In a spur ___ you appeared from Nowhere
A Blackhole pulling me towards its angelic snare
Rearranging the space time fabric ___
To a whole new world ___ mystifying yet aesthetic
And I couldn't resist, for that Benignity
set my heart ablazed ___ filled its Valence shell
Entwined with you I will step in eternity soon
Hoping, your floral rugs bear stars and moons..!!

appreciation, beautiful, devotion, emotions, garden, imagery,
Oak trees on both sides of the path,
Bend over to shade lovers as they pass by.
Many sit under huge trees,
Among all sorts of fallen leaves - green, yellow,
golden brown.
When apart, their thoughts linger on pleasant
memories they shared;
Reminiscing on words they've said.
Others hurry to a vacant park bench
With floral foliage on both sides;
As they stroll along exquisite garden paths.
One look between them, is like a million words
Not leaving much for them to say.
Blossoms blooming with the sweetest scents,
Flowers bowing as if to say "we agree".
O, what a lovely setting for a picture perfect scene!

devotion, dream, spring, weather,
A host of lilac roses floated
On the air.
A consuming fragrance
This lilac affair
The betterment of rose
Confusion
This lilac spring everyone's
In love
All lovers made blanket precautions
So as to have picnic prostration
Daffodils Carnations and lilac
Roses surrounding.
A floral heaven.
Every dream was spent on elated tiers
Not one a bouquet of tears
Husbands and wives crowded
Constitutions If this lilac spring
Was different, how would it be
More merrier?
No glee denied.
Farewell to every dream fulfilled
This lilac spring

beautiful, beauty, happiness, happy, joy, life, smile,
Don’t mourn approaching darkness;
It will only bring you woe.
Before each sunset disappears,
Admire its fiery glow.
Before the floral meadows fade,
Appreciate their grace.
Before the warmth of summer’s spent,
Return its rare embrace.
Before the winter freeze impedes,
Attempt a mountain climb.
Before the iron tempers,
You may land a blow sublime.
Before you hibernate tonight,
Compose fresh poetry.
Recite it to yourself and feel
How free it is to be.
Before this musing turns too trite,
Come laugh with me awhile.
Before our love of life concludes,
We have our time to smile.

Sweet little hummingbird so small so slight
I do so love to watch you when you appear.
To hear your wings humming as you fly
it fills me with joy to watch you buzz around.
From flower to flower, you travel on wind currents
drinking floral nectar so you can fly forever after.
Pollen you spread giving back to the life where you fed.
Oh sweet hummingbird is it loving life where you are led?

fantasy, hurt, i love you, inspiration, journey, love,
Like a butterfly, graceful and free,
You arrived, embraced by summer's grace,
And sweet floral scents engulfing me,
Awakening my sleepy space,
Just like a butterfly, so enchanting,
Dancing gracefully with hues divine,
Colors painted, a sight entrancing,
A masterpiece, in an artist's mind,
Elusive as a butterfly's flight,
Cunningly enchanting, you appear,
Fairy-like of my delight,
Relieves my heart from despair,
Surprising as a butterfly's flight,
Hastily fluttering by,
Hates me without reason's sight,
Frenzied, leaving me to sigh,
Like a butterfly, you brought your charm,
Sweet scents riding in the air,
A fleeting presence in my arm,
Left me unaware,

cinderella, destiny, dream, imagination, kiss, love, relationship,
I wonder, if he'll come
and hold my hand
When he'll kiss me.
when he'll be with me forever,
I wonder....
I wonder, if i would be
Cinderella or Rapunzel
so that he shall come and save me.
I live in a tower,
I do have a cruel stepmother
Same life, Same dreams to happen
I wonder....
I wonder, the day when come,
Birds will chirp loudly
and swans will swim rapidly.
When he'll come, I'll throw my hairs
to climb HIM up... I wish if he'll put a
floral crown on my head.
I wonder!!!!
I wonder then we'll tie a knot,
A knot of responsibility,
A knot of happiness,
A knot of love,
A knot of care.
If this will be my Fate. I wonder!!!

beauty,
Cheery pink tints in floral blooms,
Hurl of finesse in ample light;
Etch joyous hints as landscape zooms,
Rich textures nest in fragrant sight;
Rush of delight makes moments swirl,
Yes saunter here in sunny chimes.
Blessings greet flight in vivid twirl,
Love speaks most clear in lovely rhymes;
Observe the charms of pink carpets,
Sense a good earth that spreads fine fest;
See nature farm that kind mindset,
Opt for new birth in journey quest;
Make what you will of cherry pink,
Succinct the thrill of thoughts you think.
