Seeking Elusive Violets

seeking elusive violets
     in shadowy patches 
           beneath jacaranda trees
     a window of sunlight fell upon you

desiring your favor 
     despite rapidly descending sky mists
            our eyes connected momentarily
    my caramel riveted to your mountain pine

misted veil dropping quickly
     my carnal plans subverted 
   by humidity’s mood

rendering song 
       unto that which moves air
                eddies, curls and swirls
       soon swept the fog like curtain afar 

gathering buttercream yellow anemones
    coupled with heather thick ferns and leaves
  a bouquet of forest wealth gathered for you
         requesting you spend the season’s breath 
      with me

we summered and beyond
        a petite blushing hand held mine
      swimming lost in your windswept sea
                blood in my veins surged 
           at a savory full smile
    chest leaping when your lips 
            formed the name I carry
        meadow green vision sipping of my affections
                greedy for every pearl of my wine
