Love Leaves

Love,
gently rustles silver leaves
gliding through open windows
a golden summer's evening
               Love,
like a cardinal's rubied wing 
warming the brutish bluish soul
of winter's icy cheek
                            Love,
like a spray of ocean blossoms
bursting from a magician's sleeve
into caverns of lonely hearts
rooting oh so very deeply
                                   Love,
like a siren sweetly offering
a sextant for the wayward bow,
just before it strikes the reef 
and leaves in a flaming howl
                                          love.

I like this poem. Especially "spray of ocean blossoms," I can't say why but that fires a lot of imagination. Exotic and magical; yet, attainable.
