Nest of Knowledge (mixed media 2010)
Unopened
Wrapped tight in velveteen petals
A beautifully delicate love
Awaiting to reveal its true form
And burst into fragrant bloom
Atop hope and optimism
A blushing bouquet of virtue
Foxtail 2010
Clustered gleaming white pearls
Bursting from top to bottom
Standing tall and slender
Like a desert candle
Growing up to the endless cerulean sky
Soaring above summers borders
Your stars reaching high

My Love-Lies-Bleeding ( A villanelle)
Long slender spikes of red
A tasseled beauty everlasting
Decorating tombs of the dead
Save the ailing from the dead
Color ever blasting
Long slender spikes of red
Planted in your ornamental bed
In a perpetual state of fasting
Decorating the tombs of the dead
The rose will never be misled
Your reign forever outlasting
Long slender spikes of red
Hang low your drooping head
An extravagant hue contrasting
Decorating tombs of the dead
Watered carelessly until you bled
Now a seeded life recasting
Long slender spikes of red
Decorating tombs of the dead
