Lilac and Lavender – v2

How I wish I had better words
that my camera was with me
to share the vivid imagery
the bursting sky this morning

Lilac and lavender
dusty rose, cotton candy
a mix of layered colors
of the cold sky this morning

Waking slowly, not warming
yellow coming up
the blue sky reticent
not giving way to morning

Lilac Air – reprise

A cloud of intoxication
slowing our steps
or mine at least
gathering in the nectar
breathing springtime in

The white and purple
different shades of scents
matching somehow the colors
richly, urgently, calling me
to linger in the dew of fragrance
falling down on me

Lilac Air

Sweet, intoxicating, alluring
spreading out onto the playground
the bush changing the air
soft, subtle, a presence
lilac air at the side of the school
calling, enticing the passersby
to linger, to drink
aerosol nectar
sweet, lively spring perfume
a perfect fragrance,
rich with memory
under a cloudy blue sky
warm this Wednesday afternoon
Living bouquet,
a balance of purple, of green
set off against, before
red brick of the school
