The Fairy's Love Garden

A poem about a fairy showing her love to a mortal.

The dainty fairy wandered out

wanting to let her mortal lover know

how strong she felt about him

somehow that it would show.

She graced the land with violets

royal purple and yet so shy

so he could see she was a lady

always blushing no matter what she did try.

She filled the air with scent

from yellow jasmine hanging there

decorated all the greenery

with springtime everywhere.

She placed gardenia bushes

to fragrantly adore

showing her love for him

and maybe even more.

She filled a beautiful garden

with roses of every hue

just to let him know

she hoped he loved her too.

And in the lofty meadow

where they would meet it was sure

she placed the snow white daisy

so gentle and so pure.

So much love did this fairy

show to her mortal man

she only hoped he would love her

as only mortals can.

Imagery is amazing not to mention how well you capture the feeling of love and forbidden love at that. The symbols of flowers a sign of life and hope yet the tragedy of it all is that he can't love her the way she loves him. I loved it amazing write as always :)

Unique in style and flow. It generates curiosity within this reader though purely on a inspirational level. Beautiful as always, your poem is well penned.
