Quiet Gardens Keep

Her face is like the rising sun

who's light cast shadow on me

In darkness far and silent

where no one else could see

A mind and wit full from dreams

shines bright in summer's embrace

Close beside some ancient column

the wind leaves love's sweet trace

Her lips do scream to love me

in the small quiet gardens keep

Kissing my cheek each evening

before I lay my head to sleep

 

Author's Note

In a garden long ago we walked and spoke of a future. Reality became a much better predictor of happiness

This is sweet poem. I enjoy the innocent feelings love love.
Its almost child like. The feelings are peaceful and warm.

Your goddess of love. In whose shadow cast by the sun you will gladly stand. She is the only one that can look deep within you to read and touch your deepest emotions. She has intellect and dreams to share, along with words that make you smile. Just the sight of her lips is all the invitation you need to love. She raises the sun for you and sets the moon. A truly beautiful work of poetic word art sketched across the page by your talented pen.

I love your style. It just flows so effortlessly. This one is a lovers' poem, full of summer and romance.
Really a nice one.

I love the way you write... It is much like a fairytale... The only place where there are happily ever afters... There and in this poem ;)

It's amazing that you can make so much emotion come from 3 short stanzas.
this is very sweet and the last two lines are what really put a smile to my face.

despite its beauty, there is nothing about it that would make me want to read it again and again.
But i'm sure your special someone would love to hear it repeatedly.

overall, this is another good job.

I don't think you could add a word to this to expand the meaning. This is so beautiful, and so surgically concise. Really nice.
