April Romance

My heart returns to you like spring Awakening with April rain As pale petals tenderly cling To promises of daylight's gain I turn to you like seasons do Dewy and fresh from winter's depth Seeding our love in rainbow hues Green life misting our mingled breath Your eyes, once shy, now warmly bloom Vast meadows of poppy sweet red Our future in rosy perfume Even after two decades wed Once auburn, more silver does grow Yet gleaming with color's recall A blossom kept beneath the snow You are my spring, summer and fall

I remember reading this Saturday, but somehow the tech gremlins got to my comment before you could... very happy to see you receive POTD for this gem. Spring is a great season for romance writes, isn't it? I love your phrasing in "promises of daylight's gain", "our future in rosy perfume" and my favorite: "a blossom kept beneath the snow". You have such a talent from making a poem about nature, love, and spring something truly original. Another fave for me... big congrats, Michelle!
