#sprout
One-two-one-two-three.
The clock seems to evade me.
Killing the tiny nature to tree.
One-two-one-two.
Petals of lost art flew.
Reminding me of you.
One-two-one.
What have I won?
There's nowhere to run!
One-two.
This is new.
I can see you.
One
One sprout is what it takes.
For me to become awake.
I watch and see - blindly.
There is no more to see.
I have found it - finally.
Resting among our things.
Tired, but remaining.
Solely - and waning.
A whisper, of breaths past.
The first and maybe last.
Of our dream awakening.
I will bring you back, song-ring.
Though you fade between everything.

It was a sprout of love,
Which was build upon a dove.
You could not see it anywhere,
But inside your heart elsewhere.
It was a feeling of eternity,
But to feel it you needed integrity.
It could march upon the land of barren,
And turn it into the utopian manhattan.
The flowers of the love sow in your heart,
Get flown out to the field of heaven lot.
Hearing your voice,
Would be a great path to the land of heaven to rejoice.
With just having the thought of yours,
Would give me a trip to midnight york.

I used to think that this storm would last forever
That the grey skies would haunt me day and night
But ever since that fateful day we met
After the incessant rain, a sprout is sure to bloom.

There was an old legendary myth about a Dear Little Sprout
One who watches over mortals since The Creation up until throughout
Lurking from within numerous gardens as we all turnabout
Protecting those he deems good despite most mortals having such doubt
Dear Little Sprout can tell who's good and evil
Even acknowledging those who he deems neutral
Guiding Good and Punishing Evil as individuals
Giving advice for Neutral and hearing out their personal visual
Little did they know that the Dear Little Sprout has a big secret
One that he considers as the most deepest
That being he's more than just a symbolic fairy tale
But rather he's a Young Nature God with a hopeful prevail
He took the form a green-haired teenage boy
Surrounded by various flowers that's filled with so much joy
Roses, Daisies, Sunflowers, and many more he enjoys
The Dear Little Sprout, Herb, is always seen with such adorable poise
Sweet Little Herb shall spread happiness and love
For the sake of guiding and protecting everyone like a kind dove
Holding the Light of Creation in the form of the flower
With his love from those he's close to fills him with passionate power
Together we bring love like the roses in the garden
As we shine on similar to the daisies that was pardoned
We shall be as strong as the sunflowers from the proverb
The Dear Little Sprout, Our Sweet Little Herb

sky, a sea;
the sun is a ship sinking
slowly
into slumber
& i’m a seed
sleeping
on soiled sheets,
sproutless, seeking the solace
of silence,
the nascence
of night—
the delight
in drawing dreams from dust
to dusk into day
into divinity;
in withdrawing
to the wild and wondrous
womb of waking.

I wonder
How to plan trees.
Sow and plant seeds.
How we could listen
Instead of talk.
How i could show
A bean, a beanstalk.
How we might one day grow
From raindrops to mighty oaks.
Is it always you and me?
Asks an acorn of a tree.
Is it just you and I
Going someplace
Side by side?
It takes roots to rise,
And courage to thrive.
So let the wind,
A breath, a sigh,
Sweep you up.
The world is much brighter
If you fall far from my side.

It's 9:20 and my money
is on the fact that you don't give a ****
guess I saw it coming but I'm tired of running
from everything that passes your lips
Fight-or-flight keeping me awake half the night
pay up or get out,
living in a state of constant drought
& listening to whatever ******** you're on about
slow work, waiting for grass to sprout,
but I guess we've had it handed to us, gotta reap what our ancestors have planted for us,
even if the seed is bad
can't be much worse than the days I've had.

I am here in the hazy light of a new dawn
writing to you.
You and I here alone
is like floating in a soft piano nocturne.
Gliding over the keys with natural finesse
is a taste of heaven.
Here in this muted light
with you in mind
a privilege no less
than being in the majestic presence
of loving and friendly royalty.
Writing to you
from the inner reaches of my heart
is a journey
more precious
than the emerald landscape
I can see
to the far horizon
of this new day.
The freshness of this moment
basking in our love
is a tiny sprout
greeting blessed light
thrilled with the sticky twining
of its new life.
It is good being here
alive with you.

I am that fragrant thought, still alive,
as a seed,one of nature's wonder
that sprout in a season not expected,
in your mind in a blue moon night.
Though we loved and lost without
knowing reasons and sans any regret,
We still would be probing for errors,
in the book of accounts love never can keep.
You were left alone for long, yet moved
by love that caressed your heart
with such intensity only once, that
made possible many flights together
with moon beams as wings of fantasy.
But that was before the tsunami hit,
just a memory now,but would last long!
Now, here the magic happens again,
as musky fragrance hovered
in the west wind,stirring passions,
I can't understand the dynamics of this:
somehow a beam of light hit,
my being telling me about,
your plight in a flash and
our hearts melted together,beating
making shrink the distance between us!
We touched each other's heart,felt
love traveling at the speed of light.
The world suddenly looks a place brighter,
What if we wouldn't meet even once, hereafter.

Yearning for sunlight
In this warm summer daydream
My stem reaches out
From the moist earth around me
Into the sunshine
I reach out for the heavens
Just learning to sprout
In the breath of the morning
Down by the river
With the crisp air around me
I bask in the glow
In the still of the daylight
Warmed by its bright rays
Mesmerized by the dewdrops
I can now cast my shadow

Ideas caress my mind
warm sun, old red bricks
words sprout and lift
petals, blue wings..

Sprout Again
The flowers , all bright
Spreading the scent
Roots that penetrated
Into the deep mysteries
And the tender green leaves
Danced with the spring showers
Nothing is no more
Left with the body
More of a skeleton
All alone and all vibrance lost
Yet , the soul remains in the memories
Of the full bloom days of the past spring
There seems no spring anymore
Every spring that left
Will never be recovered
Yet , sprout and bloom , sprout again !

Starry night comes to take both of us to kiss with flair
To allow all lovely flowers of youth to bloom to sprout
Love explores beauty step by step and layer after layer
Let all the rivals embrace miserable death full of doubt
My beloved Let me take you on to be my heart and soul
Let me kiss and caress you to taste the reality of prime
Let not love in broken pieces but take the affair as whole
Let us be on the edge of eternity to cross barriers of time
Beauty is what attracts eyes in one glance to take chance
Love is like fire which engulfs whatever comes on its way
On land on sky and where ever it goes it takes to dance
My beloved I love you, I love you this is what I always pray

Your sensual graces make the quest for romance
When you open up like bottle of wine give chance
To celebrate beauty in company of love to dance
Being clever my sweetheart I never miss a chance
Let me take your wine through taste of your lips
Your juicy apples ask me to take very many trips
Your attractive alluring curves take heart in grips
Soul is at liberty to take wine of beauty for sips
My princess white robe suits to graces and charm
My piercing eyes make my soul and heart warm
Let me take you to kiss and caress as real norm
Spring is in bloom sprout flowers there is no harm

*Every step gathers a little more,
giving every life its own lore.
Thoughts sprout and begin to grow,
from a matrix that was built centuries ago.*

I found a bean in my room
Hope that means I'll be leaving soon
If I plant it in my carpet
And put an X to mark it
Maybe if I sow
Maybe it will grow
And have a great stock
And for a moment I'll just stand and gawk
Maybe it will grow into the sky
Past where the birds fly
Up past the clouds
Where humans are not allowed
Then like my old friend Jack
I'll pack me a sack
Then I'll start my climb
Up that big sturdy vine
At the top I wonder what I'll find
Will it be peace of mind
Will my giants all be slayed
Will I finally be unafraid
I want to be above the grind
And all of mankind
So I planted my bean and watered it well
You can see it's starting to grow and swell
The roots start to snake
Making my floor quake
But it didn't grow up, but sideways instead
I looked at it with dread
Even my daydreams
Are not as they seem
But nightmares ensues
My lovely dark muse

There was a
lone light
hanging above
the butcher block
in the kitchen and
when the wind would
blow too hard
against the cedar shake shell,
the house would let out
an exasperated sigh—swinging
the bulb hanging beneath
the metal lampshade from
the cord where it sprouted
from the ceiling.
