Rose Meadow

Rose Meadow

Into a lovely enchantment I wander
Soft stardust sprinkles a meadow of night blooming roses
In perfumed hues of scarlet-rose and lavender-gold
Stretching out my cramped and cockled legs
Into thornless rhapsodies of drowsiness
In floral fields I embrace intoxicated reveries
Returning me to the fragile rose meadows
Of lyric verses that fall like velvet tresses 
A dulcet supplication delicate as petals of a dreaming rose
When moonlight nectars drip with midnight’s invitation
Float into the lacy blush of dainty filigree shadows 
Twine my sinuous spirit and chorded heart in dreams unity.

Cockled means crumpled, creased

Susan Ashley April 27, 2023 at 6:03 PM My Dearest Rhyme Time Friend, I am as enchanted as I am intoxicated by the ravishing imagery of "soft stardust" sprinkling "a meadow of night blooming roses" and "lyric verses that fall like velvet tresses" and "moonlight nectars" dripping "with midnight’s invitation"! Oh such dreamy beauty bestowed within every verse.. oh to be a "dreaming rose"! The magic of your poetic pen knows no bounds, my inspiring sis! Such an exquisite gem to add to your shining crown. Best wishes for a win! Warmest wishes, love and hugs sent on the wispy scents of "floral fields".. ~Susan

Lin Lane April 27, 2023 at 12:45 PM In 'floral fields' and 'filagree shadows...' That's about all I'd need for my heart to beat in unity with a dream. We're trading kudos on imagery today, Sam. Sam Kauffman April 27, 2023 at 1:50 PM Indeed we are Lin! I loved this Rose Meadow theme. I think it so beautifully lends itself to dreamy images and falling asleep. I think we both have such fun creating intriguing word paintings. Such a joy to share that gift with you! Blessings of joy to you!
