Notes About The Poem

Some petals from my garden.

 

Petals - Silence of Heartbeats

Devotion floats in the
silence of heartbeats -
only lovers savor and devour.

I crawled to her
like a caterpillar.
Cradling in her cocoon -
her vision transformed
me into a butterfly.

She is a love -
for whom
I've left behind
a trail of petals -
to roam within her
eternal evergreen Eden. 

In florescent fragility
of her femininity. 
I'm an introvert in
her extroverted flower garden. 

Her sunflower smile, highlights her
delightful dahlia dimples.
Sensations of her satin skin are
smoother than vanilla orchids.

Aromatic aura unfurls like honeysuckle,
wrapping around my emotions.
Her ethereal jasmine scent,
seduces me speechless.

Lost in her evocative lobelia eyes,
desire drinks from the cup of lust,
flowing like a fountain towards the
lusciousness of her red lily lips -

would they be sinful to kiss?

I am a drop of rain,
resting upon her petal.
Craving to be a bee
suckling nectar from pink 
blossoms of her bosoms.

May the quill of my pen,
forever dip in the juices of her ink. 
So, I can cultivate within
her flourishing fields - 
forever.

Silent One

This poem was partly inspired by Vijay Pandit's poem 
called Garden of Beauty.  Thanks for the inspiration!

I think love is in all things. Obviously lush, colorful blossoms are sculpted by a divine hand. To observe and become one is a blessed art. Sounds like you have achieved it my friend. Lovely write.

Beautifully written, SO. All of the descriptions are creative and colorful. I especially like "I am a drop of rain resting on her petal." What an amazing image that evokes! Please tell me what flower that is in purple -- looks like a star bursting. Thank you for this uplifting write! Hugs, Carolyn

This poem flows from one flower to the next so, from one of God's created beauties to another , from the lusciousness of her red lily lips to the blossoms of her bosoms and of course the last verse sums up your awesome write so eloquently. Lovely poem Silent One, Blessings my friend, Jennifer.
