unearthed

I’d aimed to be
a ME-ist
when He
called me high
     beneath a rise
where strength grows on peony petals
breaking through
The rock
 
radical love
a shock;
stock ME-istism
rocked —
chinked by pink
and powder
 
what will
     make the sage
     stand still —
I know that’s
          when He speaks;
toppling olympus
wresting Me from isms
 
bare;   I saw Me in His basket
patently
picked on
purpose
 
 

Dig me

Dig me………………

deeper,
darling

My best is kept
by cover
          in quiet

Dirtformed;
     Informed…
what shape the sun
should
hue me

what scent the rain should
gild
me

what love
     the air
          should
Grow. ME.

Summer Spell     …via sista stein

Summer came shimming up, shooing, shamming
shining up;
humming
hopping
hashing up
     my fragrant true
Tell my zig,
     my simple do tell
I am not
When shining high
High in blades of verdant limbo
Carry well your bushy pride
 
Summer came shimming, shooing, shamming
Clamor on my cheek of chill
Reach in deep and find a charm
A charm of cane
Of cane and purple
Humming and hopping
               my fragrant true

a prescient pollen

it’s
on
me
— all in my hair
 
time
     under
          the weeping willow
put it there
 
you brushed yours off so easily;
 
mine seemed to stick, a little
 
 

wisteria’s way

wisteria
Misteria
your fragrance
rapt
me tight
and hurled me
far
beyond the garden’s edge
 
a Siren scent
awaits
beyond that gate
 
don’t tell
          me you can’t hear the
          smell
 
..that detours us to eden
 
 

rosed fading

what if i become a rose
when i fade
 
can the fading precede the rosing
i pray
i want to be a rose someday
 
 
 

What Bloom

What Bloom
challenges
my heart
in the spring of sweet love
fresh love —
not new
love
but old
 
love
 
older than cherry boughs
     parched in splint’ring droughts
older than Frost’s beatings
older than fall’s leavings
 
seasons old
my blossoms BOLD
head;  then shout
     abiding love-touts
 
how dare a bloom
though soaring
loom
proclaim a flush
     of unfleshed brush
This Blush
Divine
     stained over time
 
no compare
 
i bloom
i dare
     where
love changed the air,   to bring to bear
my Fleur;   my
spring
freshed
          love affair
