somebody's dungeon

Come with me to my garden
walk past the yellow jasmine,
that skirts the coral walk. To
the bench just there, underneath
the lilac tree.  

See lilac flowers so displayed
dark purple to the very pale.
Sit upon the bench my love
and spend some time with me.

I've planted roses this year
white, gold and passion pink
I placed them in the center
for an exotic color blink
surrounded by the dogwood trees
I planted just for you.

Sit with me in repose,  
savor the scent, wind of rose
the delicate of lilac
and sweet jasmine on the breeze.

Come my love, come
and sit in the garden with me.

Thank you all very much for your comments. This garden is not where I live right now. Living with Mom at the moment, and the only thing behind the house is the woods.
