How beautiful the fragrant gardenia
How virtuous in her titanium white
nestled in the coolness of a summer song
like a virgin as she sleeps in the night
Her fair face is a gem in the garden
rivaling the jasmine, the lilac and the rose
Her skin yet unblemished by light of the sun
untouched in part shade where she grows
How sensuous the perfume of her smile
announcing her sweet presence in the air
Inspiring the racing of an old poet’s heart
as it is worn in a young woman’s hair
Polychromatic is the spectrum of her beauty
Far and reaching are the effects of her role
The gardenia is the incense of heaven
where she entices the serenity of the soul
lovely tribute to my favorite flower and you also mentioned my beloved lilac too thank you.......I wrote a poem in tribute to the dandelion makes me wonder why I didn't write this one lol
Yes, I too, love the gardenia. I have many in my garden. Their fragrance inspires one to extol their attributes and you have done it most beautifully. Thank you for your kind comments on my poem "Breath of God."

I purchased some Gardenia Fragrance for my wife, she loves to bathe in it and splash it on her body, and I love to give her reason to repeat the process.
