WHO DOESN'T LUV APPLES

 



Love can be an uncrushed flower 


love can be
an uncrushed flower
ixora at night

❧✿❧

love can be
passion unrestrained 
bee sips ixora

an uncrushed flower
held between fingers of
a smitten lover

ixora at night
a yellow moon watches
shadows in the street

    I love that you have so embraced the troiku.

    'Ixora' was a new word for me; I imagined it was a word for apple juice, then Google told me it is the flower: West Indian jasmine. That gave me the presence of scent even more vividly.

    Like Rosemaru, ixora was a new word for me. Beautiful art, and a language lesson bonus!

    Very pretty. Ixora is too tropical for my zone, but it's a lovely choice for poetry. Just saying it aloud is poetic.

    Gillena, this is delicious! Love the passionate tone and imagery. Also, ixora is a favorite flower of mine. We call it "jungle flame". I haven't seen one since I was a very in the Dominican Republic. So, thank you for taking me back...

    Jasmine is one of my favorite scents, but I have not experienced an ixora yet. I hope to someday.

    I haven't seen ixora fliwers ever but they should grow here in the Gulf flat lands. Google showed some very pretty ones, inviting your lovely verses.
