Openly, there are no words...
The color we can see it,
mauve,
as a jewel on a cheek,
girls playing the hopscotch
and hanging on their hair
on the sun,
but the flavor of the lilac
who can say it ?
its sweetness sweetened
as baby’s lollipop,
and one thousand adjectives of flowers
would not be enough
In a single delight
of this flavor
which skips into my heart,
temptation to love a woman
in the fabric of lilac,
her perfume, her skin,
and the wind of her eyes,
yes, who can better express
the flavor of the lilac
than a kiss in the neck of a woman
who went transgressing
for the love of a flower.

From the flavor of lilac to the love of a woman. Good work on this one.

I adore lilacs; their colour, shape and scent, and your poem has added a new found beauty for that flower.
