Summer Sundials

Lovers embrace in the afternoon with sips of woodsy wines entangled in passion

Romance dances on the sea as 

the breeze brings the scent of peonies 

to the veranda where I tiptoe to your lips 

of tender sweet desire... 

the taste of strawberries and love... 

Seagulls sing a lullaby of sweet dreams as 

the summer sun sets leisurely on the 

horizon in shades of gold and rose etched  

with visions of voyages to stars and moons 

where life is beyond our wildest notions...

You would not believe how long I searched to find a Pat Poem as yet, not signed off by yours truly.... Characteristic form here from the Mistress of Romance.. and what could this reader want more than the taste of strawberries and love on his lips ..... Your last stanza reminds me so much of West Bay just down the road from me and one of those places I might often be found.. if I'm not in the Cafe that is......

dearest Neville... your review reminds me of the phrase... "Life is not measured in breathless moments... but in moments that take your breath away". We have enjoyed the sweetest strawberries this summer... I had forgotten this romantic poem and I thank you for your discovery. Your review takes my breath away. West Bay must surely be a place of sunset blessings ... truly, Pat

You are way more welcome than you might imagine dear Pat.. and yes.. West Bay has a little bit of my heart tucked away somewhere... Neville

A very romantic poem....

Lush visuals, dying sunsets, scents of flowers and the salt of the sea...... a very aromatic piece of writing.

I think every poem i have read of yours has at least one species of flower in it!

Well written and very delicate on the senses.

This is precious, the scents, (love peonies), the use of lulling desires, adore "the taste of strawberries and love", yum, it's so fine.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Paloma... Peonies are the most fragrant flowers
and strawberries the sweetest. I love your review and
I wish you the gifts of the sea ... truly, Pat

This poem is beautiful not only in the emotions and images it conveys, but also on a sonic level. Read aloud it is just a pleasure to listen to. The only line I have any problem with is line four. The way that you have described that scene is so dripping with tender sweet desire that directly stating that seems to create an awkward break in an otherwise beautiful scene. That being said, keep up the good work and please review one of mine if you get the opportunity.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Word, thank you for your tender review.
Line four is a bit awkward, however, a kiss is
like a flower petal kissed by the early morning dew.
truly, Pat

Romance is lean in my life these days but this poem delivers me there. Superb penning. Patricia. Always:)

It is amazing how poetry can create a sense of beauty
in our soul. You are a very gentle soul when you read
your poetry to us. Being romantic is a choice. May your
days always be gentle and romantic. truly, Pat
