"Deandrea the Philodendra" watercolor by poetess

 

Forevermore

It was created hundreds of years ago
although not on any map, yet not all know 
of this pristine and unsoiled vivid venue
in spectral hues of fuchsia and raspberry art, 
with compliments of evergreen, ever seen
under a dramatic sky of coral pink, sinks the heart
above, a celestial choir of sparkling stars
below, the steps of cobbled stone that steer 
A generous garden filled with philodendron,  
sewn are seeds grown in faculties of pure illume
wild floral essence sings sublime symphonies
No thorns that prick, no petals torn with pain,
they spark blissful emotions in her soulful eyes
She is in her seventh heaven, magenta fields,
moonlight conquers soulless shadows,
tepid air crystal calm is ever clear
tortious tears never flow as a sign of nobility
nor the elements be manipulated
Storms linger still, their spiral peaceful   
where there are no scars, symbols of survival 
from sins felt deeply by her descendants
nor nothing to conform against her will                        
yet not vulnerable, not evermore
For every June she visits the garden of Gemini 
she is over the moon, in her forevermore

Did you see my blog? Anaya, NO - sun signs aren't learning but a mere piece of a soul's puzzle. I do detailed, spiritual/esoteric charts. You told me you weren't into astrology when first we meet, that it wasn't your thing. You said your bd is soon, Leo is soon but your fire is more Sag-like & you have Aquarius, I think and I suspect Cap. If you're a Cancer (next), it doesn't dominate. If you sent me info, I could blow you away. BUT THE POEM, the poem is perfectly beautiful, love the ending.

Oh, I'm honored by your spiritual esoteric skills I'm certain are mind blowing, yay. I meant how to design the sign in paint, ,) I changed a lot about me & if I welcome the world of astrology, astronomy, archeology, secrets of the universe, everything is for something, I welcome again, I welcome. Hey, CayCay, nice to see you, how are you, hope your well, I wish you a happy Father's Day, even if just in spirit. You are so interesting to me <3

My dear friend you seem to be mentioning Gemini a lot recently... after all it is the best star sign :) We all find peace, fulfilment and joy in a Gemini Garden especially when you are a poetic gardener... I like the dreamlike nature of the poem and how you interpreted the painting... If only there was garden like this in this life where we can all be free... Loved your poem..
