Poem Title:
Poem
~ A lilac endeavor of promised importance came strolling along on a path in the sun Its fragrance unfurling this side of September when springtime was singing for winter was done With meadowlarks chatting in off color language while watching the roses now bloom by the wall She fancied a smile in lace covered cotton with hair gold and windy, the belle of the ball I stood there a’ staring, my eyes hardly leaving the shape of her world filled with raspberry dreams Along an old footpath with grass patches growing and banks touching lilies, all lining the streams My heart felt a tremor, like mountaintops falling in piles of pebbles and granite like things Her beauty a fashion, none other was wearing, a fine velvet cloth stitched in apricot strings She looks my direction with eyes colored passion and lips made of honey as sweet as the bees Now watching her fingers collecting the samples of Ginkgo leaves floating the back of the breeze She laughed in the open, a bright sun was shining midst butterflies tinting their wings greenish blue I followed her northward, my hand in my pocket, then pulled out a poem said, “This is for you” An unfolded whisper ‘tween petals of daisies now telling a story of love or of not Her glance towards the paper was finding her grinning, her painted toes tingled, her breath just forgot I melted like butter on sidewalks in August when feeling her smile pressed tightly to mine I guess in the verses with lines penned in rhythm she knew of my joy, I had told her in rhyme So now we just wander directions that beckon when autumn is sleeping and summer awakes Picking up branches, like sculpting a sunset or bridging a pasture, whatever it takes With overall blue jeans and knees wet and muddy, we tend to the gardens the earth it does claim While sharing our wine with a cat and a moon bean, enjoying each other, now who could complain
