Awaken Love

~ an aubade ~ a morning love poem ~

 

Awaken love, awaken me

the breeze is fresh with dew

in golden scents and running free

for me and love and you...

 

                       

 

Soft as a breath sweeping the day

with paradise divine

 as whispers tease and gently sway

the roses on the vine

and the lilies that stand so tall

against the blushing sky…

 

Let’s share a wish for winds to stall

and watch the bluebirds fly

 

Singing their songs of that and this

as light as pale winged tips

sailing in dreams of love and bliss

and when smooth honey lips…

 

sweeter than dew, or tears once wept

or petals in a sea

of lavender and violets

delight in the beauty

of all that’s you, your gentle charms

upon this warm breeze of

the rapture found within your arms

 

You’ll awaken me and love

What a delicious way to awaken, Julie, to the bliss of love and gentle charms … what man would not dream of such a poem composed to him from a poetic queen of romance?
I cannot answer that, because it most certainly is not me.

After reading this for the umpteenth time, I feel enveloped in sheer amoré from the poetical splendor of a thousand fireflies winking, warming me from inside my skin … it is truly a sensational Aubade, what else to say.

I have it tagged to read again, first thing tomorrow morning, as it should be to stir the day awake juuust right … thank you, Julie!
Okay, I'm smitten; … I admit it … what else to say! ⁓ Richard

(psst! I "loved" your face) ; )

The hopeless romantic in me gets intoxicated on your lovingly sensual poetry.

Julie: What can I say, you are simply AMAZING. I know a friend of facebook, probably more that would go GAGA over your work, if you ever wish me to share. I actually gasp when I read some of your lines, and the other lines keep me glued like a lion to an antelope. Girl, your work is simply irresistable. Guess part of this review has to go to Robert Palmer, and I'll be you this, he would agree, you are talented, the imagery, would take a person with high water pants, polyester suit; maybe an accountant that only loves number; flat affect; or the IRS agent, very serious, and put red hearts in their eyes, that's the imagery your words evoke. Like a shaman, you are my dear. Silicon Valley Big $ guys would swoon....And if someone has the aforementioned career, please take no offense, just confirm. The artwork is beautiful and the name is gorgeous too! Thanks - Dale

Julie, I recently reviewed one of Kelly's pieces and compared her favorably to you. She said that you were old buddies from Starlite, where I used to belong also. You both seem to have mastered the genre of sensual love poetry layered in wonderful imagery and words that stir the heart. This piece is right up that bright, sunny alley. Such a beautiful write! take care...dan

Absolutely breathtaking ......................................

A lovely romantic sonnet of love with a feel of yesteryear to it Julie. I may have said in the final line 'You’ll awaken me with love.'?

Vacations in Mexico awaken the senses and liven the pen.
Your rhyme pattern is exquisite and the poem is brilliant.

And the message is so serene.
Truly wonderful poetry.

Miss you.
Trace.

How serene and how romantic. Your words swept me away to a wonderful place, Julie. Quite the menage et trois...you, love, and him. I liked the concept of that. Lydi**
