dolce far niente

 

a breath of love
wraps me in its embrace...
as i lie dreaming 
under scarlet and violet hues
of subtle odors
lingering in the satiny air..
i lie dreaming in
the embrace of my reveries
 i dream
as moonbeams fall
on midnight dew
brushing somnolent blooms
glazing sleeping wings
moonbeams glitter 
on a breath of love
as it wraps me in its embrace
like nuptials of a new day
day and night twine
at the witching hour..
a surreal bequeathing..

i feel a pain 
in my heart
like an open wound
i feel it bleeding
before i drift off...
and yet
I live..



#vers libre

  1. I could feel all the raw emotions in this one, and the smell of gardenias, which is my favorite scent of flower, was right there too. Wonderfully written. 🌺

  2. First is the concept of the picture used. I could see the bright side of a negative.
    I don’t really know much about flowers. But I love the preciseness of your words. So easy to relate with. You’re doing well

  3. My favorite dessert wine, almost ever – the peaches, the sunshine. I’ve been to Far Niente in my life before this one and I still keep a bottle in the refrigerator just in case someone comes to eat dinner and I happen to make a dessert worthy of this wine.
