Celebrating Lush of Spring

As winter twigs drift from the oak
And in between, the flakes evoke
The pulsing bid  of snow's adieu, 
While lilies wake from a glossed hue.

Then petals frolic in lush grace
Enhancing the aisles with rich displays;
That when at last, in twirls content
Spring bursts into full view, her scent.

Where rows of blooms parade on course
Her varnished tone flushes ashore;
And thrusting through the lustrous sky
The hums of love sweetly reply.

In all its fired intensity
She leaves me wanting for more spree;
When lips bestow a moonlit kiss
Could her July entice a sweet bliss?
