Fragrant Kiss of a Peony

Kissing the Blarney Stone endows the kisser with the gift of gap.. beside Blarney Castle in Cork, Ireland. Gap: (great eloquence or skill at flattery).

Soft and gentle... a kiss that lingers within unspoken moments  

when two hearts fold their Petals into one life of fragrant embraces...  

Small buds of new beginnings emerge when sunshine and rain lie in 

irredescent passionate rendezvous beds of blessings betrothed... 

Vows exchanged with Irish melodies of Heather in a meadow 

where Bagpipes play among the lavender blue thistles.. 

We pray for Love to heal the broken hearted who faded into 

Glory.  Amen

We have peonies in our garden that have been with us for thirty eight years. Such a delicate pale pink with numerous skirt petals. I love them. I also love Ireland and its people. I love the twinkle in the eye, the humour and Irish hours. That is without touching on their beautiful scenery. Love is so powerful, it can fix anything. Many a broken heart has been soothed and healed by love. Thank you for your bouquet dear Pat. Floral offerings always a favourite with me. Love across the waves.

dearest Chris... Irish prayers and Windmills of our ♥️ Heart where Fields of Tulips embrace our Soul ... is a time when Spring sings in Harmony with Mother Earth. Your words Grace this poem with Irish blessings and a tribute to our Poet gifted with the Art of blending words with wisdom with the scent of Wisteria. gently, Pat

Oh my dearest Pat, again PEONES too✨✨✨ exceptional my lovely friend, outstanding, because as I read your words I see a whole life written, a life that began when two hearts wed into one in a promise to go through all the trails of the road together until the end, then the sadness of loss and goodbye... never I read life as this expression you've bestowed with blissful grace unto us. Thank You a million Poenies🌸🌸🌸

Happy St, Patricks Day.

Glorious write, Pat:)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Pryde... we love the Iris music and lyrics which is poetry. It is wonderful to call up Celtic Thunder on U-Tube... on our Smart TV and hear and see the group of young men sing in harmony and often they have the Young Irish ladies also sing and play the Violin and dance. We even watched a 2016 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin with White Horses and Men in Kilts playing the Bagpipes. As always it is the best of times, and in some ways... the worst of times with the Pandemic and no accounting of thousands of immigrants coming across our Border... the precious children also. We can only pray for a Miracle that we all survive to enjoy our beautiful World. Thank you for stopping by.... and the Top of the Morning to you. With love 💕 and wearing of the Green shamrock ☘️ Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

The Irish Music, e.g. Danny Boy and many other sings... “When Irish eyes are smiling...
sure will steal your heart away” 🍀... 🎶

[Pryde Foltz]

Honestly Pat, i do believe the world has us safely in its embrace. The news and others like to make us believe we are not safe so we will purchase and go as a few would like. But the world know that too and uses it to our advantage. A truly faithful person is hard to sway and always safe. True blessings, friend:)

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, dear Pryde... today Sunday we heard on
Life Liberty and Levine... that Tibet, Hong Kong and China are in the News ... and that we need to approach the subject with Caution, as to how our Leaders will avoid War... our Prayers could be Powerful...
tenderly, Pat

[Pryde Foltz]

Peace is always the way.

[Betty Hermelee]

Your words and images are lovely, feel like I can smell the flowers; but yea we must pray for those who have been taken; though love will always linger on. Just beautiful!
Take good care, Best, Betty

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Betty ... It seems that flowers give us hope that we will survive the Virus keeping us sequestered until the miracle of Spring bursts forth along our comings and going’s. A prayer for all the world for healing. tenderly, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

Indeed they give us hope too!

[Robert Trakofler]

Soft and gentle... a kiss that lingers within unspoken moments
that's your writing in a nutshell:)
and theres always a redolence in your reflections

[Patricia Wedel]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, dear Robert. Lovely day to reminisce ... we are watching You Tube Parade in Dublin 2016... wonderful Video! Thanks for making the day brighter with your Smile. Love the song, “When Irish eyes are smiling... sure will steal your Heart away”... and also “Danny Boy” .. all sung and recorded by “Celtic Thunder” on You Tube... We are living in the Best of Times and we hope it lasts forever and a day. Amen... tenderly, Pat

[Dave Brown]

anything involving bagpipes is like a breath of fresh air and adding peonies makes a wonderful pair
Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Dave... Bagpipes and Thistles go together as the Thistle with a lavender flower is the flower of their Country. Whereas Heather is the flower of 🇮🇪 Ireland. I realize that my poem encompasses a lot of ground with hills and mountains, and that Peonies are sensual as
lovers’ sighs... but lovely that you see it all through your romantic eyes. Top of the Morning to you. tenderly, Pat

[Dave Brown]

👍 .

[Einstein Noodle]

Amen, Pat! lovely setting and scene as always .. as fragrant and dazzling as bouquets can be... what i really like is the thought your poem gives me, of such a tight bloom as peonies holding, folding upon the lovers .. in such a protective embrace .. and of course .. the Irish .. gotta love the Irish :))))))))))))))))))))

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Gene... you are the epitome of romantic dreams where petals touch the passion of the moment. It seems that Irish lore and the Castles of Scotland are the thistles that tickle our fancy at a time when the world is becoming a Garden of hearts and flowers that need tending. We bow to the Heavens from which comes our help... we pray for all the beautiful children who wander into our country... that their soul will search and discover love and poetry.
Gene you are the morning star as we begin to celebrate the Heather ndd Emerald Green

[Shidare]

This very scenic and gentle💜. My body and soul relaxes as I read this work. I don't know if you meant this, but when you mentioned petals and buds, it reminded me of how a flower bud looks slightly like lips ready to kiss.💙 This is a truly eloquent gem... Almost like a prayer. Thank you for creating this, precious one 💖.

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you for your lovely review... flowers are the best therapy to overcome the perils of the world... truly, Pat

[Shidare]

I agree, my dear💜 I especially love Easter lilies 💙💙💙

[emmajoy]

'.. irredescent passionate rendezvous beds of blessings betrothed... '

If ever a more sparkling phrase ever lived.. I'd have to see it to believe it! Your words play on the tongue and taste delicious, dear petal. xx

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... so happy you were smitten with my words... it seems poetry is hidden in our soul ... ready to appear when the flowers blossom in Spring... lovely to see you in lavender lace and a pretty face... gently, Pat

[emmajoy]

I love lace, I love lavender.. your vision of me is near perfect! (the vision, not the woman!) My pleasure to read your words, always. xx

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... have you heard the song—
“Lavender blue dilly — Lavender Green— you’ll be my Queen...” and so forth.
It is a beautiful song. It should be on Google. Life should be colorful flowers like
Iris trimmed in Lace and petticoats rimmed in lace... gently, Petal

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a beautiful poem about nature and love

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Beauty... a Peony is one of the most romantic flowers as it blooms so softly with the fragrance of a Kiss. Thank you for your charming review. Blessings and stay safe. Love, tenderly, Pat
