Beyond the Garden of Us

"Beyond the Garden of Us" is about two people whose love has grown beyond its original, safe boundaries.

Beyond the Garden of Us

Beyond the garden of us, where wildflowers grew,

We wander through realms painted in morning’s dew.

Our roots, once anchored, now stretch and spread,

Tracing paths where even the stars dare to tread.

We step beyond borders, no walls in sight,

Hand in hand through the vast, tender night.

Each heartbeat an echo, steady and true,

Through valleys unknown, as dreams break through.

The starlight guides us, unwavering and clear,

Casting a glow as I hold you near.

In the boundless wild, our love lights the way,

Two flames intertwined, keeping shadows at bay.

No longer confined by our garden walls,

We carry its blooms as the universe calls.

Wherever we journey, its blossoms will grow,

Sowing our love where new wild rivers flow.

Let the winds rise and the rivers run wide,

For love like ours won’t ever subside.

Though we wander far from the fields we knew,

The garden of us will always renew.

Hi there, Lady Elnnes 🥀

It's early dusk here,
all's cool 'n clear.
Cricket songs sawing,
lovelight is drawing
old moon to our skies,
a'sparkle in your eyes.

Dare, what do we ask
than in-love to bask?
Oh, I think we know
far more will grow
in this garden of us.
Much left to discuss.

Ahhh, Elnnes, you've got me waxing poetically; but, doesn't well-struck, romantically deep, scintillating poetry have this wondrous effect on the hearts, minds, and souls of poetesses and poets whose dreams and imagination aspire to have it all?

Who, though, could say it all as eloquently beautiful and enchantingly as do the vibrantly laid vivid emotions and desires flowing from the depths of your enthralling, stardust imbued ink? A question I'm thinking I may never be able to answer.

Beautifully rendered, Dear Elnnes, in every way a love poem could possibly be.
If you keep this agricultural romance going, I'm gonna have to study-up on passion, arousal, and ardor growing. 😉

Loving it, Poetess! ⁓ Richard 🌾

PS: Your heavenly artwork choice stole my breath … sighhh*

'No longer confined by our garden walls,

Sowing our love where new wild rivers flow.'

A large but appropriate visual to open your beautiful wording. What an adventurous and gently passionate journey you laid for this reader!

Thank you so much for your heartfelt response! Your words paint a picture of how the garden’s blooms become a part of us, blossoming anew as we explore beyond familiar boundaries. I'm thrilled that the imagery resonated with you—it’s exactly the feeling of expansive love and quiet courage that I hoped to convey. Here’s to all the wild rivers we have yet to cross and the beauty we bring along the way! 🌸

Your final phrase, yes, yes, yes! I'm a landscape designer so.. of course I agree with you! Your words are so very visual an' more.

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you feel that way! 🌿 Your perspective as a landscape designer adds such depth to our conversation. I believe that the way we connect with nature reflects the emotions we express through art and words. It's wonderful to share this visual journey with someone who understands the beauty of transforming spaces! Do you have a favorite project that particularly inspires your work? 😊
