Her garden

Just words

                                            Her garden

I loved her from a-far, she was a true beauty. She loved working in her garden and she loved her roses and her natural herbs.

We would talk of Dryden, Donne and Ben Jonson.

She told me often, "my garden is like my children, Always needing fresh water and concern.

We must adore the days of the blooming flowers and the laughter of our children.

I believe she knew I adored her.

We allowed our words and our friendship to expand.

I became part of her garden.

Beautiful escalation of emotion from friendship to love.And it all comes nicely together through the use of the "garden" imagery!Well done!

[Chris Shaw]

Very nice sentiment Coyote in this poem. I can't think of better things for her to adore, her children and her garden. And the fact that you became part of her garden, sharing the romantic poets couldn't have been better. Lovely read.

The best kind of relationship is the friendship isn't it? Especially where you share your thoughts, talents and admirations without demanding anything in return. Loved your poem.
