My Heart Is A Secret Garden

Wildly lush, breathing life, a vision 
is the secret garden of my heart 
springing forth, alive with hope
ready to be admired by your eyes. 

I long for your presence
here, inside my heartbeat, my fertile soil
where earthy echos of songs are heard 
let my soft, leafy tendrils embrace you. 

Within my secret garden
my pistil flower scents delight and entice 
come and bask in their sweetness 
let love’s elixir flow on and on
in the springs of my garden. 

Yet, my garden cannot flourish alone
it will not survive without you
let us be entwined together
two flowers blooming as one
within the secret garden of my heart.
