Russell Sivey Poet Rhyme

My Secret Garden, Coin of Dreams

Darkness lies behind the locked gate
Vastness is what’s beyond the wall
Crassness delves into my longed soul
Fondness it makes a great heart call

Key to the gate I have in hand
Magically I’ll enter heaven
Hopefully I’ll hold the threshold
Tenderly I see what’s given

To the center, here’s the fountain
Blue is the water now inside
New are the coins in the fountain
True I hold this place by my side

I dig in my pants for a coin
Sigh, I make a wish beyond grave
Tie my dreams to the coin, heartache
By this wish her dreams will I save

Russell Sivey
