Flower Power

[mayflow]

Good choice on avatar 'Somewhere over the rainbow' ^^
I don't mean to come of as a bootlicker, I'm am merely mesmerised and inspired by you. In some way, your poetry and ways of expressing things (that should be ovious) makes me feel like I am in the perfect place, fine just the way I am.

I agree. You are exactly who you are and should be in this very point in time. I think we all are....

For Valentines day...

She walks like an Angel walks
She talks like an Angel talks
She ruminates on the oddest things
and I know that she has wings

She is beautiful in an evening gown
but her eyes are like far away stars
that don't just light up men's eyes
but distant galaxies as well

Her Heart causes diamonds to shine
and Rubies to glow
Without her the Sun couldn't shine
and the moon couldn't glow

Yes, she walks like an Angel walks
and she talks like an Angel talks
and her Heart is always bright and aglow
but there is that one secret thing that I know

For the Universe whispers this into my distracted eyes
She is not really an Angel at all
but just a pure Goddess (in sweetest disguise)
and I am in Love with Her so

Happy Valentines day ^^ !!

Like lovers should

Torrents of flooding emotions
You seek to overwhelm me?
But don't you see I welcome
you from the depths of my heart?

Currents of those bloody notions
You trees of the forest,
You seek to overcome the Sun?
But don't you see that this cannot be done?

These feelings are so deep sometimes
but they are not always quite distilled you know?
Their intensity does become distilled sweetness
when I let them live and grow, though

These emotions show my vivacity
My Heart grows worthily in true empathy
The trees love the Sunlight
and The Sunlight loves the trees

If you love me, then I love thee
So make your love pure and you make your love good
Then we will love one another
like lovers really should.

Pursuing Reality

One Autumn day, I was absorbed in a leaf
the color of a heart
Almost red, and ready to fall down

Spending time and asking it's existence
I realized it as mother and daughter
of the tree combined

Such sweet subsistence!!
Sweet snowfalls followed
My heart entwined

Too purely real to be real
but it was
Sweet subsistence true

And they just asked
if she was real
and I just asked "and you?" ​

I read this last one on the other forum and was about to comment when some weird spam thing popped up and I Xed out the page.. I'm glad it's here, too! This one is beautiful. You have a way with embroidering your soul in nature (or nature in your soul! it doesn't matter!) and putting it into words for all the rest of us to catch a glimpse of!

You have quite a gift for imagery, May! You are a true poet, not just in your skill of writing, but from what I gather, the way you live in this world.

You are a giften poet, like Merry says! You really are able to mediate emotions in your poetry through your love of nature. It also mirrors how you are an in depth Feeler as well, so passionate and endearing. The imagery is fantastic, I always get a floaty cheerful feeeling of bliss.

Thoughts of life an death and of death and resurrection entrance me. Fables like the phoenix, and parables like Jesus dying and coming back, Goddesses becoming human and then becoming Goddesses again, Humans eating animal flesh and that bringing animals into humaness, The wild wolf woman gathering bones bleached dry by the deserts winds and singing over their bones until they live again, such things as these make my dear heart happy and full of incredulous wonder...

So sweet, new death, never tasted before
Why, I never knew nor wondered,
but she came in to meet my heart and stayed,
and no one ever knew but I

And she I knew to be the entirety of all reality,
but again, no one ever knew
but she in the depths of her wondrous heart
though not on the sleeve of intellect alone, and I

It's a secret bond that we once shared,
but I think our secret bond
may be no secret anymore.
I may be in love forevermore!

Mayflow, I love this. Perhaps love without an object is the sweetest of all. Certainly it's the most inspiring. Once love becomes encumbered by the dailiness of our lives, by compromises, by the what's-for-breakfast conversations, it warms somehow, but loses that piercing sweetness, its spearhead worn smooth by the commonplace.

wow. A lot of nice words have been said here and many thoughts too purely lovely. I dedicate this next one to all of you.

True Heart's Source

More and more I love you darling
More and more I love you true

My Heart is full of your pure sweetness
It exists because of you

My heart is like a flowing stream now
Riverbanks can't hold it's force

There is no mountain I can't move now
All of this because of you

The Sun will rise this morning
and the wind will blow it's course

But my Heart remains with You, Dear
You are my True Heart's Source

Such a romantic! It's refreshing. I wish I were able to write beautiful poems about love through nature..

It's all about each other.

The Universe is a symphony,

With just the right amount
of stringed instruments,

Just the right amount
of wind instruments,

Just the right amount
of percussion,
and too many musicians to count.

Yet the death of
a single Butterfly
goes not un-noticed.

Why?
Because it is just as much
a part of the music as we.

Flower Power rules are quite holistic, or the flowers die and
can't bloom anymore. Flower gods are pretty smart, I hear.
and the Butterflies keep transforming from their cocoons
and drinking their sweet nectars.

The sun arises this morning
it goes away sometimes
but arises again
I guess it's the same with flowers
and us human being as well?
I was born so young!
Now I grow and will
eventually decline
Will I rise again?

Some day far off
I know the Sun will
also decline
and I know that
I am different than this

I guess I am pretty
sure I am of an eternal
substance, and that even
most precious Diamonds
must envy me, and all the
others of us peoples as well
(if Diamonds could envy,
they would envy all of you and me
for the eternities we shine)

For we are not the flowers only
but we are the pure and pristine
essences of Flowerness it's very self

The Jewel is in the heart of the Flower
