Tiptoe, Ever So Softly
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Tiptoe, ever so softly,
through the garden in my heart.
Crush not my budding dreams,
so that they might blossom and grow.

Step gently, my love.
Plant fertile seeds of kindness
within the walls of my inner sanctum.
Shower them with sweet words of love
and shine your golden rays of sun
upon the fragile flowers growing therein.
Sprinkle them with acts of kindness
and behold the beauty that abounds.

Tend this garden, deep in the soul of me,
with tender loving ways,
so that I might reach blue skies
and fly free among the stars.

These rich and vibrant flowers,
dwell within the garden of my love,
and are forever yours for the plucking
~ and consummate loving pleasure...

Nurture them with the essence of you,
and let not the weeds of deception
choke and bind the inner garden
of one who loves you so.

Hi, Sea! ~ Low C and Middle C! Excuse me, it's just that I've got the music in me this glorious spring morning up here in Canada.

Thank you for your enthusiastic response! A "gorgeous" from you, is indeed, gorgeous!

To love and romance!

But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

The change in our weather certainly suits you, and this was a great example. Just a lovely read before bed this was!

Yes, I enjoy the graphics in a post as well, but as you say, some poets paint some wonderful pictures with their words.

May you have a pleasant and restful night,

Oh, you popped in as I was replying to MG.

Yes, the wonderful change in the weather can do strange and wonderful things to a person!

Nighty Nite and pleasant dreams!
