Garden

I posed a'cross the garden gates rouged and roughed and slightly warped - unmoving - a vision thru the netherness ~ green vines harnessed upon gasps of breath strangled more than a rose of splendor plucked then pricked in silence, whispers call protruding this empty shell ° where hath love come past thou beauty's rest and hark I hear springtime perched upon thy nest ° treetops dance in wonderment serendipitously seduced a serenade a surrender I surrender to the light as it tiptoes atop my tomb ~ I crumble and climb inside your womb

Sounds like an "all-nighter" to me, watching the sun rise, in an empty garden full of blushing roses dripping heavy with dew in the mist bowing towards the Sun to be stroked or picked, and there you are all rouged and pompadoured up. I couldn't help myself...one of your best John Donne's. Beautiful.
