April Romance

My heart returns to you like spring
Awakening with April rain
As pale petals tenderly cling
To promises of daylight's gain

I turn to you like seasons do
Dewy and fresh from winter's rest
Seeding our love in rainbow hues
Green life misting our mingled breath

Your eyes, once shy, now warmly bloom
Vast meadows of poppy sweet red
Our future pledged on the perfume
Of roses from the day we wed

Once auburn, more silver does grow
Yet gleaming with color's recall
A blossom kept beneath the snow
You are my spring, summer and fall

I remember reading this Saturday, but somehow the tech gremlins got to my comment before you could... very happy to see you receive POTD for this gem. Spring is a great season for romance writes, isn't it? I love your phrasing in "promises of daylight's gain", "our future in rosy perfume" and my favorite: "a blossom kept beneath the snow". You have such a talent from making a poem about nature, love, and spring something truly original. Another fave for me... big congrats, Michelle!

Guess those nasty tech gremlins got another one! Yes, spring is quite romantic (that's why it's called spring fever!) Thank you for the compliment of making it a fav, it made my day :)
