HER FRUIT GARDEN

She came to me and gave a smile and handed me the keys,

She gave her garden as a gift, its flowers, fruits and trees.

I turned the lock and stepped inside; marveled at what I saw,

Such perfect trees, such ripened fruit, I could not see a flaw.

I took a plum between my lips and gave a gentle bite,

The juice that filled my mouth told me, the sweetness was just right.

I took the mangoes in my hand; they felt so soft and sweet,

I knew my tongue would very soon, enjoy a lovely treat.

The melons made my mouth water; I felt my hunger grow,

I bit in to their juicy flesh; I knew it would be so.

And finally between two trees, I found the hidden peach,

The garden and its tasty fruits are now within my reach.

You indicate your words are included in RIPPLES ON MY SOUL and this poem is such an appropriate piece for entry into a book with such a title. Your soul has surely been mesmerized by the beauty found within this garden that makes me think of The Garden of Eden where everything was provided. You express your longings with romance and sensuality. This is surely a garden where the body, mind and spirit were exquisitely satisfied! Reach out and behold a wondrous treasure!
