The Daily Poem: Day 3 - The Savor of Lilac

The Savor of Lilac

The subtle perfume of lilacs
and lavender roses waft
on the first breezes of spring
carrying to my nostrils
the scent of paradise.

I smile
and taste the honey-sweet flavor
of white grape juice
mixed with savor
of rose water.

Is this the aroma and flavor of Eden
on the evening
of the sixth day,
when all of its flora
bloomed simultaneously?

Prompt: COLOURS *colors is fine for those using American spellings. I'm in a sensory mood and all my paints are still in storage. I don't want to just "see" the colours, I want vibrate with colour. I want to see them, smell them, taste them, touch them, hear them. If you want to try to get them to infuse with my spirit, have at it. Form is up to you. Length is up to you. What you write about is up to you. You will not be penalized for writing about autumn (as in, your autumn poem can still win), but if you can write about something OTHER than autumn, there's bonus prizes *Smile*
