If We Had Loved If we had chosen then to love this way To lace our nights with fringe of velvet bliss Allowing deep desires to live instead Of folding up the night with just a kiss If stars had mystified the inner eye And raptured all my senses as they do Perhaps I wouldn’t have notions to deny The sentiments of love I felt for you I would haved slowly opened up the gate Into the magic garden of delight Our love has bloomed, and it is not too late To walk into the garden of delight An open petaled silken bloom, in truth Is much more splendid than the buds of youth Elizabeth Santos |

Hopefully not too late, hopefully never too late. Enjoyed. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

Very nice - I absolutely LOVE your final couplet.. Budding youth has much in store for them, for sure. Full bloom is certainly far desireable. I'm smiling..  |

Liz: "An open petaled silken bloom, in truth Is much more splendid than the buds of youth" Loved the whole poem, especially above! |
