Love Poem: Lilacs

Lilacs

Lilac bush full
          spring's ties to nature's core
Buds that kidnap smell
Sweet layers of scent weaponry
Panoply burst of blooms
           modesty displaced
Flower cradles barely hinged by gravity

Purple bunches 
            that color the center of consciousness
            sweeping away grassroots complaining
            sweeping off a time drifting to cruelty
            freeing the buttoned restraints of love
