Blooms

 

Warmth from Spring sunshine

Rich scent of leaves moldering

Enabler of blooms

Romantic Love

 

Romantic love

A memory

A refrain from the past

Blending bitter with sweet

magnolia blossoms and icicles 

ardent rhetoric and screams

soft sighs and magnificent lies

Should you go there again

remember the dream

forget the scheme

Inspired by Skylover Poetry April Word List

Flowers

She stumbled upon them in deep grass

two flowers blooming

Bright petals hidden

in plain view

Her never knowing how they grew

What seeds were planted

and when

Unbeknownst to her

yet

blending in

Imagination, Dreaming

Only in my imagination

do I dwell here

contemplating beauty

forgotten senses rise within me,

ancient, from other days,

The scents of tropical forests

poignant and steamy;

The path beckons me forward

to walk

beneath the towering canopy

 spaces alive with birdsong

 the rustling of primates 

in the trees

exquisite flowers

blooming

Costa Rica you are calling to me

wouldst that I could answer

One of many offered as today's prompt from

imaginary garden with real toads

for

Transplant

She digs the hole
in fertile soil
roomy
so the roots will find space
where the earth will shield them
the sun will warm them
the rain will nourish them
She does this with care
and concentration
She knows how it feels
to be transplanted
in fallow ground

Nellie's Dream

When Nellie was a young girl she loved to visit the rose arbor in her grandmother's garden. She would sit quietly amidst the sweet fragrant flowers and imagine herself grown and beautiful. Her folded parasol beside her, her gloves folded in her lap, the tiny toes of her laced boots showing from beneath her long skirt. He would walk up the path, so handsome in his riding clothes, and sit down beside her on the bench, accepting her extended hand and gently kissing  the tips of her fingers.

Scent of seduction
Creating dreams within dreams
Power of roses

new beginnings

"...there's so much to see and feel outside...bring us your outside!"

Day 9

Queen of the Night

As twilight moves away

and darkness engulfs me with its

solemn breath
you come to me
and we open ourselves to
one another
our skin soft and delicate
as exotic kadupuls
blooming
beginning
and
end
