Emotions Unveiled
In the fair of emotions, I lose my way
Among fruits and laughter, a mystery at play
Your eyes, like ripe avocados, invite me to peel
To take a chance, to discover what’s real
I want to know what love is
If it’s samba on sidewalks or a sorrowful fizz
Is it dancing in rain or a dream that won’t last?
A wish for the future, a tie to the past?
The clock ticks away, but my heart skips a bea...

The Flower One Day
The Flower One Day / Michael Kwack
While I was not out,
The flower bloomed.
That will fall,
While I do not look,
The flower of love.
One day,
Suddenly,
The heart will fall.

Flower
Wintry nights, no sun shines
Where to bloom there's no place for gloom by my side
By the time, I will withered away
But indelible marks wouldn't fade away

Wounded Flowers
Hear the shuffled footsteps drag upon the cold alone
Looking for a distant stone an ancient memory
Dryness caked upon the ground with lives that never were
Looking for a trace of wounded flowers
Rows of dying blossoms dripping open in the rain
Satyrs running naked in the summer nights of love
Cracked and dripping idols close their eyes against the pain
Blinded aged still ...

Rain and Balloon
Raindrops are laughing,
Falling,
Like cherry
Blossoms,
Onto the garden
Pond
I am alone
Floating on,
A little cooling the warmth
Of summer morning;
As if flying
Big sky balloons
Of birthday party ...

The Mandrake Curse
The Mandrake Curse
I spied the purple mandrake flowers
Sitting in their nest of green
And foolishly looked to rip them
From the earth they serenely sat upon
And everywhere a shriek echoed
Across the woods and leafy vales
and to my weary eyes I saw
The bulbous body resurrected
A face demonic in its glare
For being torn from fitful slumber
Wizened arms of k...

pity flower
sometimes
I forget
what you are:
just a flower
swaying to
the directions
of foul winds;
rooted,
yet can’t stand
your ground;
looted off
your perfections
for reasons lewd
you pursued
colors faded
and gone
gone into a world
a life where
pretty flowers
don't belong

The flower in my hand
I hold this flower
In my hand.
Yellow and perfect.
Like European star.
Like my heart
Is bound to this place.
My ear used to different languages,
My nose used to all these smells,
Smells of freedom.
In a continent of so many colours,
Blossoming friendships
And beautiful memories.
I keep this flower alive
As long as I can.
I know it will die
Like the freedom
That leaves us.
E...

Beneath Beauty...
The Lily-of-the-valley
a flower divine;
a bell-shaped face
of exquisite design;
a pervading aroma of
angelic incense;
milky-white petals
pure innocence;
it's beauty belies
a sinister power;
the Lily-of-the-valley
a deadly flower!

My lost flower
The apple blossom that was
the scent of your hair,
the tint that lit up
every mournful evening sky
could only emanate from
your softly glistening skin.
I had hoped one day to wrap
you up and hold you tight
so, no harm should ever befall you.
My flower amongst the grasses.
My bloom amongst the stems.
I wanted to sigh and
watch your soft seed
fly...

A Rose By Any Other Name
A Rose By Any Other Name
If I were a doctor
Treating your wounds
And infections
Your bile and liver
You would welcome me
If I were a restaurateur
Feeding you for free
Flavouring your drinks
Would you not welcome me?
I am clockmaker
Yellow gold
Like summer sun
I drift
On the breeze
And still
You do not welcome me
I am the l...

Love Seed
To win my heart, cross my roads
To get my love, you knock my doors
Let's to start, to earn cruise
To build a nest within love rose
Adore you much, looking forward
To keep in touch, even one word
Eager to fly, to reach sward
Where your face, shines on board
You're the star, you're my sun
You're in heart, the only one
Grow love seed, before ge...

A flower in bloom
How tall you have grown
in such a short space of time,
the sun’s rays warmed your nascent leaves
and the cloud’s tears nourished
your newly sprouting roots
strengthening your place in the rich earth.
How you flourished spreading your
green flightless wings to the heavens
knowing that one day a beautiful bloom
would be your crowning glory.

Weak
My mother once told me
she thought I was as strong as she was,
but she was wrong and told me I was weak
Could she be right?
So far I don't think I've been able
to prove her wrong
She told me she has no faith in me
however,
I think I had lost faith in myself before her
What has it come to...
now I can't smell flowers how I used to
or smile at faces...

Flower of Love
Half a flower
is more beautiful than none at all
An incomplete bloom
stil leaves room for
more heart and love
A dormant bud can lead
to a fulfilled dream
A single petal still smells
just as lovely as the whole flower of love
An island is still connected by the ocean floor
to the rest of the world
It is joined to the heavens
by the air in between
The rocks and stones
and grass and ...

Alas
contemporaneous cold,
in the winter of my agony
july's heat long forgotten,
january's frost an eternal constant
and yet
one remembers,
flowers bloom.

LIFE IN A FLOWER
The world holds many mysteries, full of different meanings
Life is like a flower holding many secret yearning to reveal.
What you see is what you get, its growth depends on how you feed it.
The spring of beautiful petals nurturing, and the fall from others"s neglect.
All flowers tell a different tale
There's no flower without a few thorns along its root.

Song of the Sky
Whispers adorn the sky
Chilling winds and dying, breathy voices
The road is a blackboard
With essays of footprints written upon it
The air is still
As are the trees
But the sky is not
The sky talks mindlessly to someone
It murmurs and mutters
Supported by the Earth
Pressured by Space
The sky is home to the brain of a flower
The flower is red
Some say the colo...

Splendid Is The Flower
Splendid Is The Flower
if I make something beautiful
will you gently touch it
with your perspective
or will you taint it
with a vengeful critics tongue
am I qualified
to judge you
either way
if I make something beautiful
will you take the time
to kiss it with your praise
or will you rip it to shreds
with your own experience
are you qual...

Aftermath
A flower
Caught in the muddy waters of life
Spiralling in a whirlpool of tenacity
Plucked and discarded
To continue its journey alone

Romance
Just like a flower
our love
blooms in the summer
and dies in the winter.
With nothing but memories left to show
what once stood tall,
has now
fallen.

Blue Iris
On your royal blue wings
lies a small yellow river
of golden sunshine
Your eyes open up
and see the whole world
for all of its beauty
Next to you
you see a tall flower
and you move towards it
You can only go so far
before your roots hold you still
and cause you to fall
down
down
down
As your roots are pulled up
you are pushed down

A Weed
Yesterday I saw a weed,
proud and tall as a tower,
But it will be cut down soon,
Because it was not made a flower.
You see, a flower is considered pretty;
It pleases the eye with form and color.
But a weed is considered ugly,
And dares to spread, and cover.
So they say it is a choking plant,
And consider it a bother.
But a flower chokes just as well,
It is just has the decency to be...

A Small Bud
A small bud, withered
But just a few drops of rain
Beautiful flower.
I was inspired to write
this haiku after reading
Nigel Astell's poem/comment
on my poem "Despair".

Planet Earth
You're so violently pretty
with that flower on your hat
You're so arrogant and sweet
it stops me from catching breath
How could universe had chosen me
to sew it's starlit magic net?
When I hold you - we fly
back home to Planet Earth
