Lilac Time Poem by PAUL COLVIN

Just in from work and feeling dead
And all your thoughts relate to bed
But just relax and have some tea
And tell yourself, this time’s for me.

No-one’s in, you’re on your own
So treat yourself whilst all alone,
Run a bath, add some oil
Watch it swirl, roll and coil.

Soft background music, candlelight
Surround yourself with life’s delights,
Your favourite chocolates, glass of wine
Add lavender to soothe your mind.

Pick up the book you read last night;
Now read afresh by candlelight,
Essential oils burn on the shelf
Indulge, enjoy and please yourself.

Tonight the world belongs to you
Relax your mind, enjoy the view,
As the lavender wafts through the air
It’s calmness sets you free of care.

Step slowly, softly, feel the elation
Of the sweet and gentle, pure sensation,
You slide down and the bubbles rise
And smother you in perfect guise.

As the water glides across your skin
You feel that tingling warmth within,
All troubles seem to drift away
And this is where you want to stay.

A simple pleasure, sweet caress
As senses in your mind undress
You feel so free and so at ease
Lilac time’s the time to please.

Life’s luxuries are what you deserve,
And what’s in your mind, let you observe,
Immerse yourself with thoughts sublime
And say welcome to your lilac time.
