Sleepy Heads

Postby Stella » Mon Jul 06, 2015 11:44 pm

Late sun

slips quiet between dusky satin sheets
whilst heady perfumes
of sweet, balmy bouquets hang
in the blue laced veils of twilight’s tranquillity.

Beneath

Shimmering, star scattered indigo blankets
dragonfly closes his silken wings
on soft sleepy heads as a
drowsy breeze whispers in calm, contented sighs.

Iridescent

in starlit glow are pretty profusions,
pearly pink clusters in peaceful repose,
silent and secretive , little heads
caressed as they sleep by stardust.

The serenity

of moonlight meanders through darkness,
kissing flowers furled in their own fragility,
fragrant and fascinating
yet to be born into the light of life.

Dawn’s dew

delicately showers an awakening,
blossom forgets sensuous rose blushed dreams
as grassy banks quiver and blink
when tantalizing breezes blow and tease.

Morning spills

Soft dappled sunshine on upturned faces,
petals spread in kindness for butterflies
to stretch and suckle, as maiden buds
burst in poetic promise of a delightful day.

A most beautiful beautiful write and one of your very best. With its layers of gorgeous imagery it has sent me to heavenly highs. It takes readers on a journey from late afternoon to a glorious new morning Stella.
