Perfumed Romantic Bower

Perfumed Romantic Bower

Twilight calls me with a soft amber light,
Into delicate scents of memory,
To a fragile bower of fragrant nights
Your saffron smile, a perfumed mystery.

Through gossamer hues of incense demur,
Fantasies flutter like silken moonbeams,
When we sip the honeyed nectar of myrrh,
And savor sweet spices in whispered dreams.

Scents of tuberose merge with star jasmine,
Draw us into this garden’s scented glen
Where the pulsing of bluebellvines entreat
Enchantment from your flute song sung again.

Love’s dulcet scent of ambrosia transcends
Our perfumed garden, harmony ascends.

Another excellent love sonnet that didn't make the list. It's beautiful, Sam. Wish the contest had been a standard one.

Dear Sam, How could I not love this sensory experience reading your wonderful words. "Love's dulcet scent of ambrosia transcends." So harmonious and enchanting. It is funny that I am currently writing a Christmas poem that includes many scents of herbs. We must be on the same wave length. Merry Christmas, My Friend, Daniel
