Ocean Wild Flower
One flower stands alone in a new field of hope.
Breathing passion from your sun-kissed petals,
salt air crowns you wilting with heaviness.
You are the most special among all others.
The other flowers, wind-turned in the tempest,
imply to judge the one solitary plant apart from the mold.
Frail in your life, only needing someone to treasure you,
a broken leaf intercedes to buffer your emotional storm.
Growing through silence entwined in neglect,
your strength is propagated in honesty and kindness.
Turning to the warm blue sky, a passerby’s shadow:
“This flower I prize to blossom in my soul.”
Beware
All fluorescent before the dreamscape
The feeling continues
We dispel grotesque delusions
And become luminous
Love will be born
I am desirous
Beware!
Wary curious
Fading slowly
Sun on his face
Down what streets
The lover
Makes his way
Never to catch up
The Blue Hour welcomes Carl with his first poems.
The first one reminds me of H.D.-Sea Poppies.
Good comparison!
Beautiful poems by Carl Scharwath, especially “Ocean Wildflower.” He is a great poet.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to comment
