Sea Of Lilacs**** Poem by Shelley L Baxter

Wading in a sea of lilacs,
the fragrance permeates my skin.
The bright sunrays seem to part…
You catch the next wave in.
A purple hue around your chest,
As you saunter to me in the shallows.
Kicking blossoms I bite my lip,
Dip my head to the side inviting you to follow.
On the shore of the meadow green,
you finally reach my side;
I grab your hand we wander deep,
and in the plush meadows we will hide.
The grass seems endless and very soft,
as we dive into the greens,
the floral scent and of fresh mowed grass,
leaves our senses satiated.
Side by side our bodies entwined,
we lie till the sun goes down.
The grass is cool our bodies warm,
we mesh like two spoons embraced,
our minds refreshed our beings content...
You sing to me as I drift off to sleep,
I dream of a sea of lilacs...
