Awaken Love

~ an aubade ~ a morning love poem ~

 

Awaken love, awaken me

the breeze is fresh with dew

in golden scents and running free

for me and love and you...

 

                       

 

Soft as a breath sweeping the day

with paradise divine

 as whispers tease and gently sway

the roses on the vine

and the lilies that stand so tall

against the blushing sky…

 

Let’s share a wish for winds to stall

and watch the bluebirds fly

 

Singing their songs of that and this

as light as pale winged tips

sailing in dreams of love and bliss

and when smooth honey lips…

 

sweeter than dew, or tears once wept

or petals in a sea

of lavender and violets

delight in the beauty

of all that’s you, your gentle charms

upon this warm breeze of

the rapture found within your arms

 

You’ll awaken me and love

What a delicious way to awaken, Julie, to the bliss of love and gentle charms … what man would not dream of such a poem composed to him from a poetic queen of romance?
I cannot answer that, because it most certainly is not me.

After reading this for the umpteenth time, I feel enveloped in sheer amoré from the poetical splendor of a thousand fireflies winking, warming me from inside my skin … it is truly a sensational Aubade, what else to say.

I have it tagged to read again, first thing tomorrow morning, as it should be to stir the day awake juuust right … thank you, Julie!
Okay, I'm smitten; … I admit it … what else to say! ⁓ Richard

(psst! I "loved" your face) ; )

You're very talented. Your description of a spring vista filled me, the reader, with relaxation. The image you chose to reflect the poem is spot on- the way she relishes in the scent of the warm fresh spring.

Thank you for your kind words :) Julie

The use of apostrophe is perfect in this poem.
I like the susurrating tones of these verses that make the reader melt in the palm of your hand. :D

This is art in its finest form! This piece captivated me until the very last word. A truly romantic piece, where each word is filled with the deepest love towards another. I am a sucker for emotional and romantic pieces like this, but this has got to be the best I've read in a long time. Thanks for penning this and sharing it with us! Bravo!

The images painted here are lovely, but I get lost half way through the poem, and I am left trying to figure out what the subject was written. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful piece. It reminds me of a scene in a movie where a couple passionately discover each other out of beautiful romance in a summer field.
