Those Three Little Words

Sitting in the calmness of her garden

she thinks of him, wants him.

Englufed by the pain she starts to cry.

An everlasting love is what she needs.

She longs to hear them three special words.

She closes her eyes trying to savor the peace around her.

 

Summer time garden filled with

daisies, roses, sunflowers,

and an array of extravagent tulips.

Prickly steams and leafy stipules

blows in the gentle evening breeze.

 

The aromatic air is soothing.

Dazzling sweet smelling blossoms

blooms all around the evergreen yard.

A light mist of rain starts to fall.

Distant thunder can be heard,

bellowing through the wooded forest.

 

A humming bird hovers nearby,

sucking nectar from a dangling blossom,

giving the area a dusting of yellowish pollen.

Sounds of buzzing bees linger on florets of red clover.

Joyful crys from above can be heard

as flying ducks land by the small pond.

 

Sun set silhouettes the sky,

causing an explosion of color.

Spreading violet, green to yellow and red

across the horizon.

 

She opens her saddened eyes,

and begins to pull petals from a flower

softly saying, "he loves me, he loves me not."

As she reaches for the last petal

warm hands cover hers.

 

He takes the flower and pulls the last petal off,

saying softly in her ear,

"I love you."

Being loved by someone you love is the best feeling of all. This piece has deep emotions and the reader could easily connect to it. :)

Other than a few misspellings, this is awesome imagery! I love the ending! It sounds like every woman's dream; the man reassuring us that he still loves us. That's really how it is, isn't it?

I close my eyes leaning towards her warmth, falling into her lap mouthing the words.
this lovely poem is so saturated with sounds and vivid color, mesmerized.

You truly stir the imagination and emotions with this write! There is that tinge of distant sadness breathed out, then the glory of the garden coming to life, and in those last lines, the wonder of longing love fulfilled... So lifting!
