Turning Into Lilac Lily

As the southern zephyr ripples in my lawn, 
I see the dance of the dulcet spectrum
on petals unfurling with the touch of dawn, 
like your hazel eyes out of dreamy trance. 

The flowers bloom in chromatic silence, 
look up to the sunburst pallet of the sky. 
Soaking its splendor in the essence of soul, 
turn into heavenly surreal beauty . 

As the satin night drizzles silver specks
with the mystique flow of moonbeam, 
I descry the sky descend on my meadow 
with sparkling sapphires of sprouting stars. 

Celestial glow dances wth floral cadence, 
pulsating in my heart with enticing grace, 
preserved in the patina of exultation
on the placid petals of your florid face.  

Pining for the touch of our elusive embrace
I’ll make me a bouquet of flaming flowers,
in your alluring vase I’ll place me,
with my heart turning into lilac lily.
