Songs From My Heart

The fragile beauty of a bloom
My soul inhales, my eyes consume
To form the songs of floral plume

The vibrant colors in disguise
Unclothe their wrap to summer skies
Then turn toward me and kiss my eyes

Soft velvet petals bathe my skin
Like painted wings, so frail and thin
And stir a melody within

A spectrum’s hues enchant my sight
And smother me with fresh delight
Of secrets harbored in the night

At dawn sweet blooms arise and swell
From hungry eyes to spirit’s well
Where verses in their silence dwell

Aromas settle deep within
To pleasure’s depths so softly spin
The smell of nature’s living kin

I hear the silent splendor part
Fulfilling longings of my heart
From which the melodies depart

The lily petals slowly bend
Caressing me, they ooze and wend
Like honey from my poet pen

My soul is sister to the call
Of nature’s splendors that befall
My heart, the captive of it all

Liz...splendid, simply splendid my dear friend. If I might be so bold as to make one comment though:

I had a problem in the flow while reading the one line

Like honey out my poet pen

perhaps I might offer up the suggestion of

Like honey from my poet pen

otherwise, it reads magnificent like the author herself
Hugs

Heart songs are always the best.  This form is well structured and flows well.

Thank you.
