Birth of a flower

a sunshine flower needs to exist
many roads traveled
the hardness of rock
shaped differently
than that a symbolic rose
and my sunshine flower needs to exist

The untitled title

stone and plate full
kept in laughter
Why the moon?
I rise from the night
promise a great secret
laughter hurts when it bubbles
spills any hope caught
up in the sky
a bird- while I fly off
that pull in a poet
nowhere does it state
you must listen
bend your ear
jump in the deep ends
settle a rainbow
make your promises straight

I wipe my hand on the fitted jeans I wear
smearing them with cigarette ashes
very few fallen to the ashtray
engulfed with the music- I stir- waiting for the melody to stop

for rendering lifeless
is not a choice
I have best to make
of a situation and escape

the memory in the brain
basil that fits, turn in sleep
more summer will
about a ferris
late evening
summer night

day broke and rose us
brandy and color
spirit this light dense
rainfall
showers the cumbersome
sedate a moon in show
