Hydrangea Influence

Hydrangea Influence

Pull of gravity drawn on the senses, hydrangea scent
Fragrance bliss, orgasmic burst, flowering forth
Explains beauty one petal at a time in naked white
Flavors come on nasal whiffs in flight
Fragile buds nod to blossoms under the glacial moon 
Delicately delicious invisible friends seen once again
Spread up ahead on garden paths
On wings of spring
Past the river, nature at its best begins
When growing wild in the woods
Blossoms form, born perfect just in time        
Birth of aroma, breath inhales, forgets to let it go                         
Love on the stem and leaves fill up imaginations
Displayed on gray days, nature dances, pollen laughs
Garden mesmerized, on its knees, satiated under breeze
Earth submits, to the tease, seasons color strokes             
Memory knows flowers from the dirt
Moves the Earth to drink it in
Discerning, blown open, flirting with the wind
Without a voice without a sound on softer ground
Spoken only on the breeze in leisure
Tranquil undergrowth abounds     
Honey layered, thick as lust
Purer than a woman’s womb
Thrusting forth perfumes
Hydrangeas fill the need of spring
Shimmer under moon light in naked white
Light up mid night for those who want to know 
Aromas are not allowed to lie in flower beds
They seek out noses on their own and spread
Hydrangeas know exactly what to do 
While filling up exhausted souls, exhaling truth
Before the beauty, love comes first

Hi Jan, Thank you. I hope you are feeling well. This one was anything but simple. I did about 20 re-writes over the past 4 days. I'm happy with it now. One of the best aromas in nature is the hydrangea. We had giant white ones on display by our front door. Our landscapers killed them along with many other trees and shrubs on our property. I was at work so I couldn't stop them. Such is life. I'm glad you enjoyed my little creation. Take care. Earl
