Never Was a Rose Garden

Buying promises, leaving a glance unsure
 that clouds are blue, through thickness 
 of forests green with mist, and fields filling
 each thought with a smile, a soft kiss from my
 angel, flying through the purple covered violets
 so beautiful, touching across my mind, in perfect
 rhythm.

 Lingering along with glasses so rosy
 they brought many days of pleasure
 dreams of stardom, I hang on, with thrills
 a simple goal of my reality. 

 Buying promises, watching roses die
 I see clouds over the swaying trees
 days filled with angels, of mother earth
 and her sweet creations.

 A moment, a calm breeze flies by, reminding
 me when oceans were bluish green and his
 eyes staring past mine, in glowing wonder
 now they pass so softly across the mind
 touching heart, with peace laying in comfort
 hearing each beat of my heart, in a rose
 garden that really never was.

 Caressing tightly life's treasure, growing
 sensation building seductive thoughts, playing
 tunes echoing across valley, touching down 
 one more time, before darkness appears with
 promise, untouched or bought, a garden of
 love, promises, to be found in time of adventure
 wisdom, and growth, our garden grows deeply
 found only in ourselves.



 ((Our Rose Garden Sleeps Softly In Our Own Minds))
