Tag: spring

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
