Color Me Lavender



~ Color Me Lavender ~

Lavender skies

lovestruck eyes

proffered shell

pause on farewell

 

temperatures rise

an ocean wise

gentle swell

under the spell

 

mesmerize

vocalize
whisper and tell

all ends well.

Week 44.11 Topic:  Star Struck *

 

Bonus Prompts:

Hard (2 pts):  Incorporate a symbol with a hidden meaning **

Easy (1 pt):  Mention a flavor of food (lavender)

 

* I got stuck on the phrase "love struck" so I went off topic

 

** Shell:  The shell, which protects life in the form of pearls, symbolizes the protective aspect of love.  It has had slightly varying symbolism in different cultures.  Venus, the Roman Goddess of love and fertility, is often depicted as emerging from a scallop shell.  The ancient Hindus have associated the conch shell with calling out to love-filled hearts and awakening the hearts of the faithful.  The Native Americans have also used seashells to symbolize fertility and love.
