Secret Garden’s Depth

flowersGarden’s border is wall of stone

to demarcate it her’s alone;

her petals glow and bring the spring

to winter’s chill as salve to sting.

Her beauty blossoms blooms of pink

and brings admirer to brink

of scent’s abandon, fragrance full

gently to tug, then swift to pull

the heart of man within her gaze.

Then all is hidden in a haze

of secret garden’s depth within;

yet when he peers through her again,

love sees the light of many worlds.

  1. Love sees the light of many worlds
    those that made it revolve
    from east to west, and north to south
    fragrance of flowers got lost
    what stayed fresh was the poetry we read
    flowers in pink brinf admirers at brink
    to welcome spring :) )

    • I stare at glaze within her eyes
      and see her heart, ablaze and wise,
      our verse being the only link
      until bright orb begins to sink
      beneath the pool we share of
      dreams.
