Ripe rich colors

Phantasm broods in a conundrum of tears
Cherry blossoms blush and perfume the air
A poignant scent yet dark raven appears
as the sloe black abyss engulfs her stare

Scarlet red tulips and luscious sweet pea
Cinnamon and jade mix carmine and teals
Hues of deep verdant blow kisses to trees
as he storms in and this naked heart steals

Roiling high seas and boiling hot waves
toss her upon their ultramarine kiss
With raspberry passion that orchids crave
metempsychosis for a peonies bliss
       
           Arrest bronze eyes on these blooming lips
                     where strawberries wait for slow sweet sips

A blissful taste of fruitful color…Like drowning in the dark side of love…I love the feel of this set apart last verse:

“Arrest bronze eyes on these blooming lips
Where strawberries wait for slow sweet sips”

Great Writing!

my goodness girl, you have a rich palette from which to draw your many colors, and a glowing sense of approaching storms and bliss...what an invitation

[roarke]

either you need to stewart a vineyard, or compose parfume..... or both.

A blending of essence like no other artist's palette can conjure.

very seductive..so very you :) content aside this is a well structured piece with great imagery. :)

Oh, this one is incredibly visual Christie as well as being darkly fatalistic. It seems to me that death permeates this piece. And 'metempsychosis' - that's a gorgeous word. Love this piece!

A beautiful piece of writing Christie..your words steal the beauty from the sky.

[Robin]

the poetry lived up to the promise of the title , a spectral feast for the senses

This is so timely given the nearing season and so lovely too! Again, I love your word usage.
