Garden Affair

I inhale
Your Intoxicating fragrance
Pheromones entice
Lingering passion
Sun and sky sweet
I am delirious
Dancing in your
Wakening melodies
Bouquet of pearly-white peaks

I Awake
In your quicksand soil
Scattering seeds
Delicate sea legs
Wobbly wooden stalks
Germinating roots
A newborn flower
Porcelain
Fragile, Fertile foliage

I swallow
Your clear spring geyser
Brisk diamond water
Raining sky water
Relieve my parched
Withering body
Swimming
Stealing grace
Sea of Fertility

I Rejoice
Your Renewing promise
I am breathless
Wild ecstasy
A Cacophony of bird song
My petals
Gorgeous milk fluff
A canopy of tranquility
In the shape of a heart

Nicely done Heather. Great use of seldom used, yet beautiful words. It's like you have planted a garden of adjectives and nouns in describing you garden.

Pretty, eloquent & alluring images drew me in ...like a dehydrated desert walker moving towards a mirage, dreaming of water spritzed on his cracked lips & salty face.
