Garden Of Love

Today I found new life

In a Garden that grows right outside

My heart was touched just at first glance

I knew then I got my second chance

I found this new life nestled in your soul

Deep within the Garden that grows inside your very heart

I knew then it was love at first sight

For your love I'm prepared to fight

Getting to know you is a blessing everyday

I'm so grateful that my life changed in this way

Your beautiful eyes and smile light up my heart

Then it breaks every moment we're apart

I need your love, even before the air I breathe 

I can't live without it so I know it was meant to be

You were put here for me & I for you

The love in my heart beats so true

Twenty years together and you still get the best of me

Whether we fight and make up, it's you I only see

Twenty years together you're the flame that holds my fire

Twenty years later you'll still be my only desire

Today I found new life

In the Garden of Love, that rests right inside your heart

My heart was touched by those beautiful green eyes

I knew then I got my second chance

Very romantic, love it. you guys did a wonderful job.

Well, the sentiments are touching. The rhyming is a little rough with regards to meter and scheme but the narrative, or voice of the poem has a logical progression that still carries the reader. I think you could have explored more garden terminology to emphasize more emotion through metaphorical imagery. Still a nice read.

Nicely penned lonesome_loser and Stevo

This is romantic, strong sentences with great expressions

[BL]

A nice setting for a poem, that creates good imagery instantly, I like the use of coloured fonts too they add to the feeling. I like the last verse the best that finishes it off nicely.

I agree with Ricochet, very touching :) Your choice of wording really made me feel what you were feeling. Love is a powerful emotion and you can get your mind caught up on it as if nothing else in the world exists around you. Love can even become a need to feel anything or it may be the only thing left worth feeling. You portrayed a good idea of those emotions that I can relate to, I applaud you for letting me connect, I don't normally connect in a lot of romantic poems. Keep up the writing :)
