My Iris Garden

Lavender Moonlight – Heather Mirassou

Like peach blossoms

As lovely as daffodils

In the purest hope of spring

My heart-strings follow each strum of a harp

Your voice a hypnotic melody

I leap like a cricket

at the whisper of your name

The evening floats

On a great parrot wing

I am comforted

With you by my side

I hold you tight

Like two twilight beams across the sky

In the listless evening

I listen for the last chime of the day

I lie with you

In lavender moonlight

Hand-in-hand we reach our destiny

For a mystical shower of love

 

Questionable Love – Heather Mirassou

From seedlings
Raw passion arrives
teardrops germinate
A questionable love
Free reign love’s geyser
Either uproot and scatter
Or stay and bloom

Moonshine Wind Song – Heather Mirassou

Barefoot and dirt-clod
I tip-toe across the yard
Avoiding mounds of stickers
Sharp rocks and weeds

The sky is full
Satin filled milk fluff
Moonshine
Full on me

Our tangerine trees
Rustle with low-lying
Bullfrogs
Ribbit, ribbit

A symphony of crickets sings
High pitched Beetle mania
I hear a distant “moo” from the cows
A latent “who” from the owls in the barn

The statuesque wind chimes
Is playing a cacophony of wind song
This life here engulfs me in it’s pure and rare beauty
I am one with the country, home again

Garden Affair – Heather Mirassou

I inhale

Your Intoxicating fragrance

Pheromones entice

Lingering passion

Sun and sky sweet

I am delirious

Dancing in your

Wakening melodies

Bouquet of pearly white peaks

I Awake

In your quicksand soil

Scattering seeds

Delicate sea legs

Wobbly wooden stalks

Germinating roots

A newborn flower

Porcelain

Fragile, Fertile foliage

I swallow

Your clear spring geyser

Brisk diamond water

Raining sky water

Relieve my parched

Withering body

Swimming

Stealing grace

Sea of Fertility

I Rejoice

Your Renewing promise

I am breathless

Wild ecstasy

A Cacophony of birdsong

My petals

Gorgeous milk fluff

A canopy of tranquility

In the shape of a heart
