Best Saffron Poems

In evening eyes an ember’s gleam I see
emotions ripple from your depths and spread
across your surface known to be glassy
are ripened waves of passion crashing red

Now crocus of your crave in bloom and flare
on bed of saffron petals - spice we seize
in festival of lust...

Silk-
starfish
of fervent
fate weaves soft-quartz 
feathers of marshmallow metaphors that 
croon with firefly's fluorescence amidst life's
claustrophobic 
clouds, shading
bitter
smogs 
with
plush sweet-
dahlias;
And I chase light
within saffron skylines beyond dreamscapes....

I stand upon a lilac beach
Beneath a saffron sky
the ocean laps around my feet
I'm here again, but why

The trees of frozen fire
line the quiet shore
The second sun just rising
A sight that I adore

A stranger stands beside me
he's pointing out to sea
I shade my eyes from...

Saffron Summer

Golden sets of surfs surfaces delve a surreal saffron sky,
Sands surrender shoeless soles that traipsed an eclipsing trail,
Amber rays supremely herald as an ocher beach comply,
Gild glitters halcyon flocked doves sprung free a summer's veil.

Saffron sun


Your amber-umber eyes, penetrate me
as saffron sun sets on faces, ashen
Your suspicious mind raves with jealousy
as pumpkin winds chill our summers passion

Blooms bountiful on laughter lane
Purple peonies after raging rain
May melodies, sunshine songs
in emerald elms and garden green
A waking world, scents swirled
Saffron spring, scarlet ruby rose ~
Creamy clouds roam restlessly, slow.

He who knows anger
Knows no anger

He who knows patience 
Knows Allah 

He who knows acceptance 
Knows compassion

He whom has acquired 
knowledge 
Has acquired power

To know yourself is the first 
step
To know why you do what you 
do is the second
To be able to self correct...

5 travelers assisted with the 
assisting
Feeling the sun rise, praise
Life is short, daze
One candle lite
For the sake of freedom
Seven more wait there turn
Their turn to shine, burn
The heavenly sent of friendship 
Allows me true love
I am the hawk 
You are the dove...

What joy to see the end of winter days
As snowdrops rise with bells of ermine white,
The signal that winter has reached its end.
More hours of precious daylight now appear
And no longer the shroud of gloomy grey.
At last we wake up from that long cold night
And...

You are a light on my world
You are love by your looks
We are what the ancients
Call many things
Most of all
Love

I bask in saffron deliciousness,  mind-lapping this moment of utter simplicity.
Inside the mindfulness of my chrysalis, I relish a metamorphosis
to new-found freedom’s sweetness 
which flits away agony and woes on butterfly wings.
