Enchanted Garden

Every time I
come near
you I
hear
the screech of a heavy
wooden
door halting
open

So I
turn and 
meet your
eyes falling
captivated by your muddy
depth

In you I
discover a bounty
of wonders - hidden,
sheltered, fiercely
protected - so that
nothing
will ever get 
wasted

And when I
look
around and find all
sorts of juicy
fruit, polished
gems, sturdy
weapons and precious
garments for me to
get enthralled with all 
I
want is the finest of
them all, your
heart
