gossamer curtains
frothy dreamy and breezy
romantic décor
See through and clear!
Oh, chiffon, flowing and soft
as a light, drizzly day
grants a filmy delusion.
Nothing to hide
beneath your opaque texture
that glides over nature
uplifting our keen senses.
My wedding dress
was a milky white chiffon,
gauzy and gossamer;
it flowed like a breath of air !
My love swirls me
and twirls me across the floor,
vivid in nightly sleep;
as he waits for me above !
infers rough shell
gestures diaphanous drapes
airy signature form
adopting gown's pardoned trails
not being flat
introduce informal tryst
secrets adorn front page
luster affair maneuver
Stuck on this love theme, what's going on
Something I ate, or maybe wearing chiffon
No, that can't be it
A real man must acquit
Just a phase, perhaps a disease from a swan???
Tangerine, blueberries, and
deep gold stretch in vibrant hues
Fluffy they set up high in the sky
Allowing the colors to ooze
Strawberries and peaches
Blend well into this beauty
gathering like chiffon
with natures seamtress duty
Doesn't this age of a worldly people connection
Totally blow your mind and inspire reflection
To be part of this phenomenon
At my advanced age, a total bomb
Remembering the past when we all wore chiffon
Give me only chiffon memories
Layered in clouds of satiny ruffles
Fill them with immortal confection
Fashioned with cherry and chocolate truffles
Take away the memoirs of rain
The shadows of pain and wire mesh veils
Exchange them for lyrical chords of reflection
For resonant whitecaps and whispering sails
Chiffon Lace
So much that I want in you
And so much to push aside
So much they try to stop me
And so much I try to hide
So much, let's come together
So much, and then I cried
So much this gloomy weather
It's too much
I so much tried
You're all I feel inside me
Inside I feel so high
Sometimes I see you see me
And sometimes afraid to fly
Sometimes I say you're "My Girl"
And sometimes I see me lie
So stay let's play forever
Someday you'll feel the same
Just stay and we're together
Today let's watch the rain
Today to come inside you
Today I feel this pain
Someday I'll get to hold you
Someday you'll hold me too
That way I see inside you
I hope to see you soon
Then one day we'll watch the sun rise
From the bottom of the sea
We'll laugh and play together
Forever you and me...
Swirling Layers of Chiffon
Swirling layers of chiffon and lace
Soft auburn curls brush against her face
Striking green eyes see through his soul
Alabaster smile, kisses hot like an embered coal
Her creamy completion is glowing in the sun
Soft peach cheeks compliment her orchid chiffon
He watches her movements to nature’s acoustics
Butterfly’s sway with her to a divine flow of music
Heart racing he steps from behind the willow tree
Trying to walk steady due to his trembling knees
Nearing he is captured by her moistened ruby lips
Kissing her soft hand he twirls her and dips
She melts into his arms like soft butter in the sun
He carries her to the willow knowing she is the one
Her embrace lights up the twilight of his heart
Their lips blushed, collide as passion starts
Wildflowers and honey soar through his being
Her flower bud opens, his head is sweetly reeling
Destiny brought two into the meadow as one
Each followed their heart while dancing in the sun
Love is passions sweet reward
Never let its flame go out
