Smell of passion

Vested in spring blossoms, perfume of passion fills the air

The smell is sweet, prowling creatures greet its fragrance fair

Amorous bees by scent caught are brought to pollinate flowers of beauty

Lovers on wings serenade to persuade for a taste of honey's sweet booty

Fruit droplets grow and drip from branches high and low, heavy laden

Season's yield behind a leaf shield, show in the arms of a tree maiden

Blush of ripening fruit attracts to each shoot hungry birds and worms

Predators and competitors ravage and loot introjecting larva's germs

Damaged fruit fall to rot, all for naught on the ground a discarded waste

In it only fermented memories are found parasitic bound, bitter to the taste

Fruit picked preditor pricked, with time does wrinkle with age

Spring to summer, summer to fall, assuage winter's icy stage of rage

Desire ripens, bruises, ferments, and still leaves its trace. It’s tender and a little ruthless, the way nature always is. A vivid, sensory journey.

From spring in loveliest bloom through to winter’s icy rage. A bitter sweet poem with a strong metaphor. Fallen fruit rotting on the ground. The cycle of life in the eyes of nature. Very poetic in description Soren.

This has a powerful connection to nature. It embraces the spring season as it comes and takes over.

Some passionate choice in words. And I like how it mentions all four seasons and combines them all together at the end.

This piece welcomes the reader to explore every aspect of it. Wonderful and pleasant to read.
