REST FOR THE WEARY

Source:travel-story

The morning sun peeks through

the canopy of trees.

The blanket of color

covers me with its leaves.

I’m sheltered with

soft petals of pink,

like velvet sheets

splattered with pink ink.

I give a contented sigh

as my eyes soon grow teary.

A bed among the petals

offers rest for the weary.

A TWO-FACED WONDER

A TWO-FACED WONDER

Beautiful rose.
Soft and velvety.
Protected by sharp thorns.
Bright in the sunshine.
Dark in the moonlight.
A two-faced wonder.

PRETTY IN PINK

Petals drift in the warm breeze.

Pretty in pink, they flutter.

The fragrance tickles my nose.

Velvety soft to the touch.

My senses engaged.

My mind is at rest.

No need for worries.

No need for more words.

A Two-Faced Wonder

Beautiful rose.

Soft and velvety.

Protected by sharp thorns.

Bright in the sunshine.

Dark in the moonlight.

A two-faced wonder.

THE BLUE

Smouldering Heart of the Blues by ecstaticist on Flickr.

The blue sucks me in.

Velvet petals caress my face.

A buzzing bee whizzes past.

I’m inside the midnight blue darkness.

My head spins from its heady fragrance.

Lines of poetry beg to be written.

Will I yield to the blue darkness?

It’s a trap I cannot escape.

A CANOPY

The sun peeks through

a canopy of leaves.

A blanket of flowers 

covers and protects me.

They shelter me with

their petals of pink.

Sheets of softest green

touch my skin.

The perfect spot for the weary.

LET IT BLOOM

LET IT BLOOM

Watch the rose bloom.
It’s not too soon.

The lovely smell.
It rings my bell.

The pink color.
Like no other.

Face to the sun.
Ready for fun.

Velvet to the touch.
I love it so much.

I’m ready for spring.
To hear the birds sing.

I’m eager for the first bloom.
Definitely not too soon.

Let it bloom.

TWO HEARTS

I picked a rose just for you.

A symbol of me and you.

Soft as the petals are your skin.

As precious as the pistol within.

It rises to meet the sun’s face.

No one can ever take its place.

Open and spread your leaves apart.

I can feel the beat of your heart.

Two hearts joined as one.

My job is now done.

A BEDROOM OF FLOWERS

A BEDROOM

Cover me with blankets of flowers.

Shelter me with petals of pink.

Sheets of softest green.

A canopy of leaves.

A bedroom of luxury.

None can compare.

TWO-SIDED

Pink and blue petals be,

Green and blue like the sea.

Velvety soft they might feel,

Thorns like the point of steel.

I give them to you to show my love,

Two-sided like the beak of a dove.

FOREVER MORE

FOREVER MORE

Give me water.
Give me light.
Quench my thirst.
Light my fire.
And I'll be happy
Forever more.

Give me color.
Give me fragrance.
Paint me pink.
Perfume my petals.
And I'll be happy
Forever more.

PINK SAND

PINK SAND

The sand so pink and soft.
Keeps my spirits aloft.
The water so clear and blue.
I want to enjoy that too.
Sun brightening the day.
All I want to do is play.

A RAINBOW OF DELIGHTS

Follow me.
Through the colors.
Past shimmering glass.
Over piles of crayons.
Colorful sticks ahead.
Cotton balls above.

Can you hear the drums?
The beat of the winged creatures.
Flying so close to the ball of fire.
Feathers taking flight.

Come closer and see.
What my imagination has wrought.
A scene near and dear.
To my thoughts and dreams.

WHITE BLANKET OF SNOW

The snow has fallen.
A hush falls across the city.
A city covered in a soft,
white blanket of snow.
It cushions the earth.
Giving a clean look
to what was once dark.
Is the city cleaner or
is it just an illusion?
Life is a series of illusions,
for you to pick the right one.
The right one for you.

TWO-FACED WONDER

Beautiful rose.
Soft and velvety.
Protected by sharp thorns.
Bright in the sunshine.
Dark in the moonlight.
A two-faced wonder.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Midnight Dancer (Take Me Away)
Michael Carini | Acrylic on Panel | 60” x 48” | 2010

Life is beautiful.
The colors and patterns to be found.
Textures abound from soft to rock solid.
Sounds radiate through the air
from strands of music to soft cries.
The tastes to be experienced from
the different foods across the world.
If you take the time to see, hear, and taste,
the possibilities can be endless.

NATURE'S GIFT

The perfect gift of nature.
No two are alike.
They alight onto surfaces
with the ultimate grace and ease.
Soft as a kitten’s breath.
But with a brief existence.
Catch them while you can.

I'M TOO CUTE TO EAT

When I grow up,
you are not going to eat me.
