Love Poem: Lucid Wildflower

Lucid Wildflower

Midnight skies encompassed the Earth
As the wind gently ruffled my tesselated dress
My feet caressed the soil
As I neared the edge

Cold waters spilled through my fingers
As I fused them into the stream
Redolent and succulence suffused my senses
Enrapturing me towards an evocative harvest

Dulcet lips pressed against mine
Our two hearts become idyllic 
Your eyes are crystalline as you stare back into mine and
We unite, you become my chrysalis

Our ways are without form
Our souls are exuberant, care free 
Nature becomes a somnolent lullaby
As you caress me in your arms

Gracefully
You are opening my cellar door
My heart is no longer lost in oblivion
Ever long, I am yours

My pendaulum, my lily in the pond
A kaleidoscope of wisteria
Your love knocks me out cold
Until I hear sonorous tintinnabulations

Your lyrical tongue awakens me
Painting enticing visions
The words you speak, resonate in my eyes
I'm tongue tied and mesmerized

Clinging to isolation
My world had stood still...
A dead spherical hell
Before I knew your name

Your words succumb serpents
Yet justify angels
Bring curved smiles
Rolled eyes of jealousy

When I open my eyes to hear your melody
I fall for you and land in soft autumn leaves

I capture menacing memories
Trap them in a jar
Tie it with a pretty bow
Just to smash it
And never feel that low again
You bring out my hunger
With you I finally realize 
I'm human 

I'm not lucid...
I'm just a wildflower.
