Ekphrasis On Almond Blossoms
dainty darling blossoms~
are floating fluffy clouds
of ivory and petunia
hanging like empyrean jewels
'neath the vibrant skies
of turquoise and royal blue
fingers that wrinkled in snow
tightly holding those gems ~
like you hold my hands
as we dance ~
in unison with
the lovely melody
whispered by the breeze
rich sweet aroma~
lingering in the daylight
feeds our hungry heart
retelling old love stories
kept in each blossoming bud

Notes: Almond Blossoms is from a group of several paintings made in 1888 and 1890 by Vincent van Gogh in Arles and Saint-Rémy, southern France of blossoming almond trees. The works reflect the influence of Impressionism, Divisionism, and Japanese woodcuts.( Photo and info credits to Wikipedia).
