Lavender and Lace

I awaken to the woodland scent of a favored fragrant herb. Its aroma transcends nocturnal bliss and then softly seeks so gently to kiss the distant lingerings in my mind. Of a cherished place where I had laid embraced warm in a lavender field and was but long loved by its strong perfumes so fragrantly released. Overfilling my heart and infusing my mind with all earthly bodily pleasures due Its overwhelming possession of my sensibilities its passions hence do hold my senses close as an all encompassing lover that it doth still now consume. Its intoxicating signature fragrance, like no other that hereby exists The most vivid contemplation of Indigo, that one could have ever seen Infusing its heady oils upon my much younger memory and an older and much sweeter tryst. The palest shades of those lavender flowers remembered each blossom a sweet sachet Eternally to be engrained upon my mind the heady confections of that day to be forever missed. The most complementary plumes of color, that before I'd ever had met Stretching toward the horizon's backdrop a blanketed sea a gently moving ream A natural artistic composition of heady lavender composed of surreal artistic color. A palette holding court over the opposing values and yet very complementary hues of lovely, lovely lavendar and wonderful planetary greens. And if I ever were a bride to be, I would desire to marry among the flowers My sun kissed hair would be loosely worn, its wildness framing my upturned face In a field of the world's most ethereal scents, a regal vison in colored lace showers, Surrounded by a heaven of millions of happily scented blooms. In an outdoor cathedral of fragrant herbal spears the lovliest of earthly rooms. I would share my love, of my beloved and with my beloved for all whom by their presence cared. I would unite with my love to be right there I would unite with my love to be for all to witness as I promise you forever for all to witness our solemn vows above a cloud of perpetual lavender amongst the waves of those purple seas. In Lavender and Lace I would marry my love I would marry my love to be. (December 3rd, 2010 Wausau, Wisconsin) (c) Copyright 2010 by Christine A Kysely, All Rights Reserved,
