Virginal budding green stalks glance
peeping voyeurs in seas of verdant color
wind kisses them in breaths of passion.
you stare transfixed
as green flutters to the ground
this is what makes the world spin
money
Your eyes. That grass stain from that day when I fell and you helped me up. Your faded sweatshirt, and the way I felt when I saw you with her.
When young I was green
Over time became keen
As I got older
I became bolder
Now I’m a Green Soldier
Older, bolder, keen and green
Beware green clovers,
They'll steal you away,
Under neon lights,
Beyond sun's rays,
Betting on enchanted lands,
Miniature castles in starlit sand,
Sailing fortune's misty miles,
Leprechauns dancing, tricksters' smiles.
Your jealousy, is suffocating.
Like the mould spores, spreading.
Like mucus, congesting.
Like algae, fouling.
Like the snake in the grass, constricting.
Slide my thong
off my right hip.
Four leaves
hidden from
the world.
Lucky you
Snow melting, grass peeks
Is it here? Dare I believe?
Spring? Or, just a tease?
From the small pond it came
Green flashes across the grass
An emerald frog sits
The color of new beginnings
Makes me think of spring
Looking forward to warmer days
The many colors of green.
