A Blush of Beauty

On the cusp of Love... petals softly falling  

Dreams of waterfalls cascading over 

Mountain Laurel where Bluebirds fly in 

syncopated symphonies of persuasion... 

Cupids shoot arrows into hearts that dare 

to dream of lying in a field of passionate 

Starburst Lillies surrounded by the scent of 

Lavender and Myrrh...

your very good at blushes Patricia:) that was a fine painting you brushed with those blushes it puts many images into the flow I love a poem that melds so many senses so naturally in the unfolding. Valentines to me is the first whiff of spring so I enjoyed the scent of lavender

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Robert... the first whiff of Spring that turns a fancy... We are still waiting for our first real Snow.
But still we will enjoy hearts and flowers in the Winter with Cupids Bow and the Snow. May your Valentine dreams flow with lovely sounds of a Saxaphone romantic. truly, Pat

[Fran Marie]

..nice work

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Fran Marie.. in the Winter of my life... it is lovely to be inspired by Cupid's bow as it brings romantic feelings of scented Geraniums and Caresses waiting for those blossoms of tenderness. Lovely to share the springtime spirit of love. truly, Pat

[Gee]

You write nature beautifully Patricia :))
Good morning

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Gee... nature is always present... as faithful
as the Stars and Moon... greeting us when the sun rises... and tucking us in when the sun sets. Night Owls hoot and carry on... and nature chases us home.
Our guardian angels fly where rainbows sleep and widows weep... as nature rocks us in the trees where
lullabies keep. truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Isnt nature wonderful and you do paint with words Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Andrew... you are the Eiffel Tower of poetry that overlooks the picturesque paintings of romantic
moments. May your heart bravely accept the romance of Valentines trimmed in satin lace with the embrace of cupid's aim where feelings overshadow the mist of forgotten moments. truly, Pat

[R.E. Ray]

Pat, whenever my spirit needs a boost, I read your poetry. No exception here. Another wonderful poem.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Ray... thank you for sharing your feelings.
I find that reading poetry on WC enriches my life by
sharing our words and ideas that may help another person on path that may be difficult at times. I often find a poet doing the same for me. I love to share thoughts that ripple like the Ocean or stormy sea. There is a song, "Someone far from Harbor, you may guide across the Shore". Wishing you a lovely Valentine with wings to fly like a bird to a tropical Isle where there are smiles and coconuts galore. truly,Pat

'.. fly in .. syncopated symphonies of persuasion... '

That my dear, is a very warm combination of music and extraordinary seductive phrasing! You've hidden it in the heart of the sweet and gentle, the rise and fall of tidal sweetness. Lovely!

forgive, must rush, you know why. xx

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Em... "the rise and fall of tidal sweetness...
you are a Vase that holds a beautiful bouquet of Roses kissed by the sun and scattered around like confetti when celebrating Life and Joy of Living. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Sending you Sunday smiles. xx

[Patricia Wedel]

A Chapel with stained glass that tells a
story of a Shepherd finding a lost Lamb...
and guiding it home where warmth and love abide.
dearly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

dear John...your sentiments are like Music by the Sea
Birds are always busy singing and wearing colors that
paint a masterpiece of love and devotion. truly, Pat

[barleygirl]

I had forgotten about February being Valentine's month becuz I'm not much of a romantic, except where nature is concerned! I love this poem becuz it quenches my thirst for romance, the way I've come to crave it, not so much as a focused human expectation (why didn't he send me flowers?) as much as being romanced by all different kinds of people we interact with along the way, as well as the birds, bees, critters, trees, rocks, streams, crawdads, & clouds. Damn, I'm going to be walking around all day with my head in the clouds again! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

Forgot to mention, killer line:
syncopated symphonies of persuasion

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Margie... thank you for your precious review.
There is a movie with Cary Cooper called Friendly Persuasion. His wife is a Quaker minister. Of course the Quakers meet in a Meeting House and call themselves Friends. The Movie is priceless. I hope you can see it some day. Lots of war humor. I love to use the romantic word "Persuasion". That's what it's all about. dearly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Hey... I meant to say.. "Lots of warm humor".
Although the story is set during the Civil War.
A Keeper for sure. truly, Pat

[barleygirl]

I also love the idea of persuasion, even tho I do not use this word enuf! *smile* Too many people try to push their opinions around, rather than to persuade . . .

[jacob erin-cilberto]

well, love is certainly blooming in these fields and gardens of the heart....

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jacob... after years of famine, I finally got to 💃 dance in fields of wild flowers and sleep under the Moon 🌙.
Wishing you a dream of Daffodills and a Secret love... remember the song? Hearts and Valentines ... truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Jacob... the song being... "Once I had a Secret Love... so I told a friendly Star.. the way that Lovers often do.. Now I shout it from the highest hills... even told the golden daffodils... ". dearly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

An idyllic romantic scene is created with your words, Pat. All the senses are touched upon in this one. Lovely. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Lydi.. Cupid is preparing for the Big day... wear an an Armour for the arrows that will fly all day around the world. truly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

'lavender and Myrrh" ..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i so enjoy your love poems, Pat! ..soft, gentle, alluring ... especially appreciate the waterfall and blue birds syncopation ... so persuasive indeed .. a wonderful meditative place .. the Country needs way more of it ;) thanks for sharing!

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest E... so lovely to read your words. It is almost eight am on the East Coast... overcast, but hope for Sun. Yes, our leaders and Wall Street need to realize if we do not save the beauty of Nature... even the birds and bees... they will have no one to vote, and we will cease to be. We need more Poetry to reach their wealthy Ears and Tears. Amen... Pat
