Powdered Sugar Daydreams

Love...what else is there?

 

 

 

 

Powdered Sugar Daydreams

 

All time becomes invisible, ceasing to matter

as this place in all its magic and wonder

blooms upon the gardens of our imagination

playing like birds on a sky of opal blue, wandering streets of old

 

Where rising suns on aqua horizons shift,

singing of a new day which is happily part of the prior,

extending beyond any view offered along the rocky shoreline,

as we stroll on delta desires and riverboat reveries

 

Brick paved streets, uneven but smoothly polished greet us,

a sidewalk table, warm cuppa, green on white awning shade,

sweet treats beneath wings of powdered sugar and tender kisses

within the eyes of all passing, and we without a care

 

Music fills the square with harmony in our heart beats,

a three piece jazz ensemble plays melodic romance

while your hand, your fingers, tightly holding mine

and I feel your pulse tap out the rhythm of our days

 

Jasmine arbors bound by geranium breezes

invite us to be one, as love springs forth

in cool waters from passion’s fountain of forever

and we daydream together eternally

Forever the romantic, Jack. This is such a splendid poem. I did thoroughly enjoy the waltz through your well orchestrated stanzas.

What a beautiful romantic setting you have described. Oh to taste powdered sugar kisses as love springs forth in cool waters from passion's fountain of forever....Brilliant writing my friend. You have touched my heart! :) Julie

I felt like I had been transported to New Orleans. I could smell the jasmine and geraniums and hear the wonderful jazzy music. Even powdered sugar is not as sweet as love though, is it? How romantic your words are! I do have one small suggestion to make this wonderful poem even better. "delta desires and riverboat whispers" could be "riverboat reveries" to make the alliteration continue through the line! Really enjoyed this one, Jack. Lydi**

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend and indeed, I will use your suggestion. And yes, powdered sugar is no where as sweet as love. :)

[Lydia Shutter]

I'm so excited you liked my suggestion, Jack...thank you for taking it in the right way! Lydi**

This one blew my skirt up Jack, it reminds me of N'awlins, one of my most favorite places in the whole world, powder sugared beignets & Cafe Du Monde, what could be lovelier in the morning when you're in love....

'Jasmine arbors bound by geranium breezes' made it a hundred times better of course, another sign from me....

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my sweet friend. I am happy this could make you smile.

[Frieda P]

Thanks to you Jack, I've been jonessing for a cuppa Cafe duMonde and a beignet since!

[Jack...]

I'll meet you there...my treat.

[Frieda P]

Sounds like a plan ;-)
