Poetry, Writing prompt

Love & Passion

A poem and writing prompt about relationships inspired by nature.

Velvety pink petals he sees. Gleefully dancing in the breeze. Radiating a misty soft spectral glow, just like you.

Pink pearl dewdrop freshness, swaying. A sensual cha-cha, cha. An enticing rip and twirl swoosh, just like you.

An elegant pink perky lady touching hearts and souls. With joy, petals shine bright, causing a spellbound grace, just like you.

For your passion does bloom, binding two lonely hearts as one.

Igniting hearts with red-hot desire, dancing in love’s warm passion fire. My sweetest love, like pink petals on a rose, your beauty blooms — in our hearts it glows.

Tread carefully, for love’s not a simple path, it can draw blood with sharp dagger thorns, leaving soulful hearts shattered and unkeen.

This poem was inspired by a beautiful blooming tree I saw on a nature walk. The blossoms were bobbing merrily in the air radiating a pink hazy hue in the summer sun.

It made me think of the beauty of a special relationship with a friend, or that special person in your life. That thought was the spark for this poem and writing prompt.

Writing prompt: Write a story about relationships or love using a nature-related image, simile, or metaphor.
