Sweet Zephyrus - a Love Letter

Oh Zephyrus, sweet Zephyrus,
westerlies' bouquet nectarous
lilac layered flirtations sail
wings whimsical whiff my skin pale
butterfly kisses generous..

music you breathe melodious
chorus of wind-chimes feverous
sounds, symphonic in gentle flail,
oh Zephyrus..

hands breezy - touch me delicious
flowers long-stemmed dance capricious
exhales enchanting do prevail
sighs satisfying without fail
licks sweeping softly amorous,
oh Zephyrus.

Paul Callus Date: 12/8/2017 2:01:00 PM This reminds me of love letters of an other time and age, Susan, when writing such letters was an art in itself. There is such a mellow pastoral touch to these words. Should I, or any other man, be envious of Zephyrus! I'm surprised that not many have commented on this one! ~ Warm regards // paul Login to Reply Susan Ashley Date: 12/8/2017 3:51:00 PM Your heartwarming words set my heart aglow and inspire a smile Paul.
