Your fragrance

Like a sunflower

you rise, you shine and seek light
making my heart happy

Like a daffodil

A joy , a hope, a mirth
and whatever in between

Like a night-blooming jasmine
awaken love, beauty and freedem
taking my breath away

Be still, my heart

A beautiful anology for your love. I'm mostly captivated by how, with the aids of these flowers, you express how your love makes you feel in the morning, noon and at night.

The use of symbolism makes the poem so beautiful! I'm getting a captivating aroma from it.

[Lale]

I really liked the idea of using the symbolism of flowers. I was thinking of adding more tercets, but I was afraid of falling into redundancy. Thank you for reading.

So uplifting and fragrant is this little poem. Jasmine is divine. I have one in bloom in my garden at the moment. The petals are like confetti after a wedding.

Jasmine's fragrance is so ethereal and attractive.

So is the fragrance of orange blossom. Love that as well.

[Lale]

Yes. I love orange blossom scent too. Orange trees bloom in early April. I try to gather as much as I can. I make orange blossom tea. It's one of the reasons why I love Spring.

[Chris Shaw]

We have orange blossom out now. What a great idea to make tea from the petals :)

[Lale]

You will love it. But careful, don't put too much sugar, it ruins the flavour. :)

[Chris Shaw]

Not a sugar person :))

wow....just a love poem, just a love poem, just a love poem....
how encouraging to read something like this during these times when our pens are so preoccupied writing about the tragedies and rage of the current situation...
I love the scent of this....reminds me of a scent I experiences back in high school first real girlfriend, the one made my knees give out with her scent....mmmm
thank you for this.
