Ode To Love

In emerald dreams of a romantic isle Beholden to your signature smile Kiss me tender in secrets of runes Cuddled in arms of a sensuous moon Attach a note to verses of love Tell me once more--the song's forever Align yourself in visions lavender Surfing the winds on butterfly wings Chasing blossoms of lilac flowers Hugging the banks of a giggling river Reject the confused subconscious vibes That contort the truth dwelling in lies Yearning to win your seal of acceptance And, oh my dear, be forewarned Of glittering metals--prone to corrosion Imitating designs of genuine jewels Befriended by unscrupulous people Is it any surprise that the golden sun Rises for you on the tangerine arc And paints your hues in purple splendor Inscribing there in colors of spectrum: My love for you shall remain eternal September 5, 2019 HM: Strand special 10 by Brian Strand Ten word challenge 1 poetry contest Sponsor: Kai Michael Neumann Required words in order presented: signature, cuddled, attach, align, confused, subconscious, contort, seal, corrosion, surprise

"Align yourself in visions lavender/ Surfing the winds on butterfly wings/ Chasing blossoms of lilac flowers/ Hugging the banks of a giggling river" Beautiful nature colors the romantic vision of the poet in such an enticing way .....Very lovely and so whimsical
