Antiquity of Love

Wrinkles caress your cheek as eyes twinkle in silver moonlight streams of violet scents...

After a dinner of Shepherd's Pie and 

a dessert of Peach cobbler, 

we settled in the Parlour ...  

and listened to the player piano 

spilling over in love songs... 

Scents of lavender and roses 

penetrated the evening,  

and sweet tender kisses...  

invaded the lullabies of forever 

remembering the blossoms of Spring...  

Pleasant Dreams

What a romantic, relaxed overture, PAt. Can see it so clearly - near inhale that Shepherds Pie! In fact, you've truly servied up a delicious poem! (sorry!). Apart from the scent of roses and lavender, you could invisibly include Rosemary for ... memories. xx '.. listened to the player piano ~ spilling over in love songs...'

Smiling, now hungry for a snack of h/m bread with chopped black olives and a touch of basil.. Nothing like spices or herbs to jazz up both food and LIFE! Waving thanks across the ocean.. xx

You create beautiful place and scenery. Made me wish for Sherpherd Pie and the dessert of Peach cobbler.

So nice... Lovely words- dreamy, romantic and beautiful. Few words & a thousand emotions! :)

dear Sourav... Your appreciation of
romance is like the flight of a bumble
bee... very pleasant and unexpected.

I like the contrast of the domestic details of Shepherds Pie and Peach Cobbler that contrast with the romantic idealism. A very positive piece.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Escher ... Your review is charming.
I wish you lavender sunsets and may your
days be full of love and pleasant adventures.
truly... Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Those lullabies of forever are always melodic....and I could almost hear them while I read your words. Love that lasts through the years has the sweetness of peach cobbler and the heartiness of shepard's pie. You have created such a romantic and loving scene....one I want to crawl into. Beautifully written, Pat. So happy to see a poem from you. Lydi***
