Love Leaves

love,
gently rustles silver leaves
gliding through open windows
a golden summers 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 magicians 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.
