The Wizard In My Garden I have looked beneath wisteria vines, Laden heavy with tendrils of white. Lifted their flowers, To uncover stark branches, That could hide him from my sight. I have lay in the grass still as a stone, Hoping a shadow I would see, Cast long on my face, Of him in his grace, Come to spend time with me. I have stood in awe among roses red, Soft petals that waft to the ground, And heard not a word, But knew in my heart, The next corner, He was around. And how I ache to touch his hand, Lay my fingers aside his strong face, To lay with him Amid daisy’s and lilacs, To melt in his tender embrace. But I know that is not possible, Not at this time, or this place. I must be content With the knowing intent Of longing, that fills this space. I won’t give in to thoughts of never, My heart, it will not harden. I will wait in quiet anticipation, For the wizard That lives in my garden. |

Seraphin~ This is quite a lovely piece of writing. Interestingly different rhyme scheme noted. Enjoyed the imagery. A most pleasing read. I'm so glad you shared it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Hehe... he's just hiding in there, giggling to himself. LOVE IS GOD, LOVE IS WAR, LOVE IS WHAT YOUR LIFE IS FOR. |
