These Arms Long To Hold You

Sensuous allures float in pulchritude of white swan Upon your lotus pond, arousing visions of romance As I see you there where pink blossoms dance And kiss your presence in ambiance of golden dawn. Nary a cloud foreshadows my blue sky of tomorrow As primrose emotions evoke blossoms of meadows; In emerald green terrain, there are no dark shadows For memories of yesteryear bear no hints of sorrow. You entice ruby moods applauding crimson hues Cheering for our love in chrysanthemum flowers, Bright red tulips, soft pink roses, and spring rain showers As ode of desires muses love-verses you schmooze. And you sparkle gemstones from prisms of tinted dew Igniting passions within whiffs of scented breeze Caressing my wishes in embrace of seductive tease, Instinctively aware: how these arms long to hold you! September 24, 2019 Placed 1st: Pick a title, vol. 9-enclosed rhyme poetry contest Title chosen: These arms long to hold you Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Placed 3rd: Strand 660 contest by Brian Strand

Oh my!!! One could fall in love with words such as these. Longing is evident, and that sweet ache to be held. The flowers blush. :) As do I. This is beautiful in so many amazing ways. A favorite for me. "Caressing my wishes in embrace of seductive tease" Indeed. Simply breathtaking Vijay. :) Brandy
