"The Garden"
the dawn breaks
with its shimmering light
she walks alone
lost in the splendor
of those forbidden things
her little ones, she says
it has been ages
since she has known
the warmth that
unbridled passion
is known to bestow
her lonely soul
the emptiness
with its subtle musings
calls out to her
in her most vulnerable
of moments
it has been ages
since she has seen him
she lays on the cold bed
wishing for her beloved's return
the morning of her undoing
she was in the garden
when she saw him standing there
a lark on his shoulder
her heart skipped a beat
as she rushed to meet
her lover's embrace
lost in the rapture
of that smoldering kiss
were the words she whispered:
"how I've missed you, my love
never again shall I let you go."
