Tim Smith Poet Free verse

A Secret Garden

Cascading out past an open window
notes played so elegantly gain life

Along side the cherry blossoms
the fresh scent of honeysuckle
glides to a special secret spot  

Unknown to human touch  
but loved by her so much

'tis where her feelings go
where her sunshine grows
in every breeze that passes by
creating that twinkle in her eye

A secluded sanctum with golden views
warm hearts wander a quiet rendezvous

Emile Pinet April 12, 2017 at 9:51 AM Well done, harmony mixed with tranquillity has been captured by your artistic pen and held motionless on the page. Emile.

Eileen Manassian April 12, 2017 at 9:49 AM Awwwwww....some poems just evoke this kind of emotion. Beautiful in every way

Anne-Marie Coreggia April 12, 2017 at 9:28 AM Tim, I love the musicality that puts us under a spell in this lovely poem where love and nature are intertwined:) Amitiés

Lisa Ricci April 12, 2017 at 5:23 AM Good Morning Tim. Whether love of two special people or love of nature and of her beauty both are marvelously expressed. I love it when both are combined and the reader can take either side. And yes either side can warm a heart. You wrote poetically beautiful. Well done entirely including the title.

Darren White April 12, 2017 at 3:41 AM This poem can be read in so many ways, one is nature only, one is sensual only, but I see the combination of both in it.... and it is lovely!

Sara Ella April 12, 2017 at 2:06 AM The special secret place - a wonderful place you have created, my friend :)

Andrea Dietrich April 11, 2017 at 6:51 PM oh how wonderful , a secret garden.Is it your ode to flowers as well, Tim? I posted the pic of my rose bushes just now. It took me forever to figure out how to get that particular picture from the file where I had it.

Charmaine Chircop April 11, 2017 at 3:07 PM I love both the honeysuckle and adore the cherry blossom..I have a soft spot for Japanese connections even their plants.
