He walked the low-sunned orchard
Through a wintered-shadowed maze
Trod the leafy, apple mulch
Imagined August days
Of Anna Marie and Ridgeway walks
And soft-skin, cotton miles
Of dancers' legs and lovers' grass
And apres-passion smles

He stepped the leafless, tangled aisles
That stretched the dormant trees
Held and apple-blossom kiss
That rode the memory breeze
He held a dreamer's, statue stare
As a dying sun lay down
Watched the sky entice the dusk
In a peach and turquoise gown

He fell so deep in Anne Marie
Yet held no ached despair
So gently touched those moments
As her scent engulfed the air
Oh, as those shadows merged to one
And brilliance fell to grey
Then fled those warming memories
That held the chill at bay.

So many good lines within a stellar theme Red, but these I found most attractive:
quote:
"Watched the sky entice the dusk
In a peach and turquoise gown"
Thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

Every line a killer, and man what imagery.

Excellent writing all the way around. Way to go!

Enchanting! Every line provokes a beautiful soulful imagery. ~Lia
