Black Petal Sep 2022
Sparkling diamond bead
Rests briefly upon a leaf
I bow to its grace
Black Petal May 2022
After the storm's wake
Remember there's still beauty.
Bow to the rainfall.
Black Petal Nov 2021
He's tending the garden.
Earth on his hands
Sweat on his neck.
Sprinkling seeds
From freshly spent flowers.
I can't see his eyes behind his Ray Bans
But I know they're focused, delighted
Observing the occupants and visitors
In his cultivated oasis.
To keep the garden nurtured,
protected,
is critical.
He worries when the storms roll in.
How will they fare?
But he does what he can.
He rids the area of weeds
And cares for slender stems.
It's a promise kept
To tend and till.

In the garden he's a father too.
Black Petal May 2021
Soft folds of stretched skin
Guarding my delicate core
Deserve reverence
Black Petal Apr 2021
Turning a new leaf
She stretches towards the sun
Displaying her truth
Black Petal Apr 2021
Sweet fragrant citrus
Awaken my tired senses
The essence of home
Black Petal Apr 2021
Now
There is only now
Boiling and blistering now
Sit and breathe through now
