The Scent of Summer

In a rose and raspberry spring

I saw her dance in deep saffron…

She had the scent of summer

In a lilac and lavender breeze…

Autumn’s apricot blush kissed

Her silken-soft budding cheeks…

The world was harlequin heavy

In her wisteria-winter dress

As we swayed on sapphire stars…

Her grace fragrant as a flower

Our worlds merged and melted

Mingled into one before I awoke…

She has the scent of summer

And I will come to her to stay

Before the wild winter’s birth…

Our world adrift in indigo light

And we’ll be ever weightless...

Scents of summer and scents of spring are always compared to her persona which make her more graceful, racy in love; romantic in every move. So when she walks, she's truly treasured or honored with 'winter blossoms - the scents of lavenders .. so soft.. light hearted... and as feathery as a wing. Nice imagery you've come up with. Enjoyed reading it!

Smiling.. grateful for your words... and for seeing a glimpse of her in mine... yes.. she is all those things and more... May the rest of your week be filled with the joy of spring's awakening and summer's approach...

Your imagery is always sublime, this one is no exception.. I love the alliteration and descriptions in this one... so teasing, playful, romantic, and enchanting.. you always stimulate the senses, and make the heart yearn for the beauty expressed.. well done.. makes me want to let go and be weightless...

An enchantingly romantic write, Craig! I could almost smell the scents of a multi-colored (and multi-seasoned) bouquet. The creativity here is fantastic. Light and airy and, well, just delightful! Lydi**

Craig, I have always admired the way you creatively use sensuality in your work: colors, textures, light, scents, touch, tastes, etc. Nice work blending here.
