Sleepy Heads

From the archives and book "My Gift for You"

Sleepy Heads

 

 

 

Late sun

slips quiet between dusky satin sheets

whilst heady perfumes

of sweet, balmy bouquets hang

in the blue laced veils of twilight’s tranquillity.

 

Beneath

shimmering, star scattered indigo blankets

dragonfly closes his silken wings

on soft sleepy heads as a

drowsy breeze whispers in calm, contented sighs.

 

Iridescent

in starlit glow are pretty profusions,

pearly pink clusters in peaceful repose,

silent and secretive, little heads

caressed as they sleep by stardust.

 

The serenity

of moonlight meanders through darkness,

kissing flowers furled in their own fragility,

fragrant and fascinating

yet to be born into the light of life.

 

Dawn’s dew

delicately showers an awakening,

blossom forgets sensuous rose blushed dreams

as grassy banks quiver and blink

            when tantalizing breezes blow and tease.

 

Morning spills

soft dappled sunshine on upturned faces,

petals spread in kindness for butterflies

to stretch and suckle, as maiden buds

burst in poetic promise of a delightful day.

Dear Stella, this is an amazingly beautiful piece...metaphoric....it is sublimely sensual...i like the way you weave in what's beneath those satin sheets and the scents, colors and textures of nature itself... it is soft and calming..it a almost like sweet dream... and then everything comes to life in subtle way...at dawn!
Lovely and very creative
Warmly, B
