Notes About The Poem

Blue Midnight Flowers - my favorite flower

Midnight Flowers

Midnight Flowers
by: Leonora G. and Her Most Fave 
 and Loving Poetess Linda/PD


I’m roaming around in search of you 
Oh my darling, I’m feeling blue 
From gloaming to midnight, I truly feel, 
Your ubiquitous fragrance… 
‘Though elusive, I believe you are real. 

Where are you my midnight flowers? 
My hope crumbles, I’m so consumed 
Hold me close in darkness, 
Show me your beauty, I’m so petrified 
You are my inspiration, my only guide. 
***** 
Through my essences and fragrance 
I hide under the most intransigent moon 
Gazing of natural beauty and bloom 
Come hold the pleasures of the unknown 
Desires so tangible, you'll lurk every night 
Above all, touching the night sky 
When the lure of any commodity rises 
I am there, awaiting the touch 
Your eyes foil my soul, in blush 
Perfumed by the redolent night, 
--I seed to please you--

Thank you so much my very dear friend, Connie! It's really my great honor and pleasure that our dearest, very talented poet friend, Linda acknowledged my simple poem for our collab. Words are inadequate for me to thank her for the honor of writing with her again.. Btw, I like Jasmine as well my very dear friend because it's so pure and so white. We've a lot back home. But I like blue, as well. Many sweet hugs to you from me!

wow, you guys did a gorgeous poem together. PD must be SO busy these days trying to keep up with the collaborations. I love this story of a blue flower, because it reminds me of when I write of the blue rose, which for me represents a very magical and unique individual!

Thank you so much my very dear friend, Anne Lise. Take your time my loving friend. I know you're trying your best to be with us most of the time. Sometimes, there are exigencies in life that we need to attend to. I wasn't here also most of the time especially last wk because of my tight schedules. Aside from my schoolwork, other appointments and classes outside, I have to attend also and take good care of my loving mom after work who's with me right now. I wish you a beautiful weekend too my dearest friend .Sending you my loving hugs! God bless!
