Smell of Lilacs

    Smell of lilacs  
Combination of three words contest: 
 Smell of lilacs, pitch black room, dancing


Lilac is purple; purple is blue.
The smell is so great, you’ll pursue.
Night after night, in a pitch-black room,
The smell of lilacs makes you renew.

I wake up at night, night after night.
Dancing with my shadow, really tight.
In my home, in my pitch-black room.
The smell of lilac is full of delight.

In my pitch-black room, how can you see?
You need no eyes for you to be.
The smell of lilacs will guide you through.
Come with me, my darling, and dance with me.

I’m in my room, which is pitch black.
Blackish blue, the white I lack.
I love to dance to the sound of rain
The smell of lilacs will let me go back.

I've got a song 'we'll gather lilacs in the Spring again' buzzing through my brain when i read your wonderful words. I can imagine one of your lovely pictures with a darkened room but a butterfly alighting on lilac blossoms in a vase:-) I hope you had a lovely Christmas and my very best wishes for 2018:-) hugs Jan xx

Well transmitted feelings shown us Pashang, despite the constricting element of repeated words it connects with the reader.'
