~*~ A cross a field of lilacs spread ~*~

Across a field of Lilacs spread
I saw you there
A lady so fair
A spirit full of love
Full of care

And there was my beginning
My breath started
And pray that my ending
Would be somewhere within you

Lilacs ..
Lady…
With shades of purple
I gave you…
A bouquet of my own feelings
I handed you

You took them and walked away
And I stood wondering
If you knew what do they say

The purple lilacs in your hand
I pray that you understand
The words written on their
Every tiny petal
How these petals stir
And shiver
As they try to say
The message I enclosed in
them forever
The feelings my heart
Wants to send your way

Purple
Lady
Is a lofty color
But in Lilacs
The message it carries
Is softer than any other
It speaks
Of “the first warm stirrings of love”
That my heart is fluttering like a dove
The moment you came my way
And I lost all the powers to say

Gentle lady…
Fair maid…
Come across this field of lilacs spread
Acknowledge this love of me
Fluttering in its bed

Look at me….
And don’t walk heedlessly
Never turning back to see
The soul of me
Standing there
Stripped of its mystery
Waiting for every moment to share
Share it with you
As you are clad in this soft
Enchanting hue

Remember
As you carry those soft purple lilacs
In your arms
That they are in fact relics
Of the soul
That gave them
And the secret confession
They tell
As they shiver
In their flowery cell

Look closely at them for a moment
And remember
The look in my eyes
As I handed them to you
Remember
The shivering of my hands
As they touched
The hand of you
And remember
The message
Of these lilacs
And their purple hue.

Thank you

Melody, you have done a beautiful rendition here.
This part in particular stood out for me
"Remember
As you carry those soft purple lilacs
In your arms
That they are in fact relics
Of the soul
That gave them
And the secret confession
They tell
As they shiver
In their flowery cell"

You write so beautifully.
