Notes About The Poem

Contest-Secrets of the Soul-sponsor-Ink Empress 6/29/26

Where Orchids Dream

Love is where orchids dream and roses bloom
    offered to the soul
where lover's tongues speak 
and moist eyes hold tender whispers
    where breath is shared
the universe is folded small around a graceful embrace
    of our emotional melody
We cross the heart's bridge as wandering sparrows
looking down on the stream that carries our reflections
    toward the horizon
lifted by golden wings of enchantment
    into a misty realm
inviting our hearts to a banquet of peaceful fantasies
We drift on wishes of our desires
our senses filled with fragrant perfume
as we dance through the flowers bloom
    spinning and spinning
along a cobbled path beneath a night sky
where small lighted candles glow
    in our open palms
their glow shines upon our faces
shadows of wonder are captured in the light
as our hearts melt like the candles we hold
summoned by a siren's song calling our names
    drawing us closer to forever

This is beautiful Dear Frederick, a very heartfelt definition so poetically woven on love, the warm and fragrant side of romance, so well captured here. I especially love "We drift on wishes of our desires our senses filled with fragrant perfume as we dance through the flowers bloom" the imagery there is stunning and so very creative. Thank you for joining and for sharing your take. Pleasure always reading your soulful poetry. Congratulations on your win, sending you light always

Wow. You wrote some amazing images on this theme. I hope you score high. I started out with that phrase on orchid dreams and ended up incorporating all the other prompts (not yet posted). Not sure what I will title mine!

as our hearts melt like the candles we hold summoned by a siren's song calling our names drawing us closer to forever I think these lines say it all.

Nature’s imagery and the siren’s call in your poem is soothing, peaceful and desired.
