Often in life trials and tribulations which impact on ones life tend to throw us out of kilter, it is in these moments that care and compassion ease and elevate the spirit, thus giving one the desire and strength to look ahead. I convey my sincere gratitude and am humbled, by all those who continually support and encourage me even through my lack of reciprocation on AD. Your continued support makes my heart swell with immense love and respect.

THANK YOU my fellow poets and �friends�.

Warmest regards and love
Elga

Fragrant Essence

Serene blue skies greet your senses
As you look beyond the verdant canopy of foliage.

A cool rippling meandering stream,
Flows leisurely alongside you
Melodic bird song infiltrates the moment,
And as languid branches sway with the breeze
Golden rays dance and glimmer through gaps
Reflecting upon the inviting water,
Hence eliciting a spectrum of colours
You are drawn by the beauty,
And you welcome the coolness,
As the water eddies around your feet

Your mind drifts into ethereal realms,
You lose yourself in space and time,
Hands as gentle as a butterflies touch
Rest softly upon your weary shoulders,
The tensions of the day dissipate,
And your smile radiates warmth

A magical ambiance surrounds the moment,
In your hand a long stemmed crystal glass
Filled with ambrosial nectar of the gods,
Your lips seducing the rim… a tiny sip,
A heavenly sigh as the delicacy lingers…
Just like the subtle hint of the fragrant essence
That wafts like a warm summer breeze,
Very tempting,
The desire to chance upon the source intoxicating…

She seems elusive, yet she is there…
She is real, you felt her touch!
Do you ache to feel her softness?
And long to taste her lips?

Very good. I especially like how the woman's delicate line of backbone blends with the delicate petals of the flowers and her pearl-like skin. Great write.

It is certainly nice when "the tensions of the day dissipate"

This was a beautifully soft introspection.

One of the best things about the den is the generosity of the support.
It has helped me through life's lows...

The images are enchanting and delightfully visual. The last stanza is enticing.
It is one hell of a beautiful poem...
