Greener Gardens
Posted by PeterNov 3
did you know it, when i looked into your eyes?
spring time, turning into summer.
i kissed your lips and sensed myself
standing on the pathway to greener gardens,
cooler breezes and more pleasant evenings.
arms wrapped around bodies.
we explored the edge of temptation
and tasted of its fruits, while throwing caution
into the winds of change blowing past us.
we stood upon the precipice of eternity.
i dared myself into the realm of possibility,
and you took me by the hand.
gentle, the hold of fingers intertwining;
hearts blending, doors flung open, daring us
to take that step, that very next push.
reckless, or perhaps daring?
does the beating of two pulses in
simultaneous medley form courage in its wake?
heaven only knows which angels might have sung,
but i heard their symphony just the same.
inside the windows of your soul.
coaxed to the confines of your essence and here i am,
standing on the path to greener gardens,
grateful for the chance to savor
the sweetness of romance realized.

You walk through my mind
sending waves of thought and feeling
shooting through my body
you talk to my mind
showing me all the wonders of me
that I sometimes forget to see
you touch my body
with tender hands
and thrill it with waves of ecstasy
all of this, you do to me
with your mind, your energy and your voice
I wait and dream of our bodies
touching for the first time
each word of the poem ‘Greener Gardens’ painted such lovely images in my mind,
you took me for a wonderful walk and it pulled this out of my memory.
I can’t wait to see where your words take me next.
thank you

It is, simply come back to keep quiet.
Return to close your eyes and dream
And I thank God to think again:
The world is not lost.
Even successful people working.
What can perhaps help humanity,
To save the next disaster.
And maybe, who knows …
Genetically can donate some of this wisdom
For their children.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Your text is beautiful!
