Your Soul is Summer

Firefly nights of gold in

Enchanted mystic skies

Ripe stars gathered in baskets

Nature’s soft, sweet succulence

And your soul is summer

Nirvana flavored lips sigh

Dreams in fresh dawnlight

Ocean’s Zen awakening lust…

 

Palettes adorned in poppy shades

Endless caressing light on time

Saffron flowers rise in rhythm

Sun drenched and dripping of days

Orchards of milk and honey flow in

Aphrodite’s reflection of silvered song…

...and your soul is summer... wow..I love this phrase.
Your words float as if in a dream, carrying the reader to a soft and lovely place of fireflies and saffron flowers. Stunning, stunning poetry.

I so appreciate your kindness, Julie... Yes, sometimes when we live in night, we find ways to light it in dreams....

Always a pleasure sir!

[Crowley]

Oh yeah...that sounds like a great weekend to me...lol. What fantastic thoughts and imagery, getting lost in the words is what we are supposed to do...I was lost. Great work.

[An owl on the moon]

Hey, Crowley! Absolutely amazing to have you by again, my friend! Hope you have a good one this weekend. I'll be wishing I was lost... :)

[Adam Adams]

Your choice of words's always seemed to be very interesting to read your all poetry with. So deep &, of course, full of rapture. The way you've written this piece in a proper disc/format's marvelous reading! Enjoyed it!

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, thank you so much, Adams! I am so grateful to my muse who even speaks to me in silences. Have an amazing weekend, my friend. :)

[Adam Adams]

And.. it speaks to you very deeply. Very few people/writers find their inner voice & listen to their spirit/heart.. you're blessed with it so have at it. Always a pleasure to read your work!

[Latifa]

[An owl on the moon]

Dear Latifa, what a joy to have you by! Thank you... :)

[Valentine]

Oh, to be young again, out in the fields capturing the elusive fireflies in a jar...making our own lantern. Valentine

[An owl on the moon]

Yes, dear Valentine... Just last night I walked to the meadow and saw them lighting the night like stars... :)

' Aphrodite’s reflection of silvered song…'

Seems your present influences are not only in the written word but in your heart - this poem is utterly and entirely beautiful! You spread sound, scent and vision around your reader, sharing your emotions seemingly so willingly!

This is the writing of a man who's reached the moon and stars!

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, so good to have you by again, dear friend! Thank you... thank you for seeing the flow of my thoughts... One day, perhaps, I will fly off and find the light of the moons and stars. Happy weekend to you! :)

[Eliza Mae]

Magnificent. Your words are silk, and the reader's imagination dances.

You inspire many!

[An owl on the moon]

Eliza, your words brought me such joy today... and that is exactly what I needed. :)
