Sweet Scented Arbor

We may have been seeing reflections belonging to yesterday Perhaps they were awakened musings buried deep in memory but something was causing our emotional footsteps to stray upon a romantic journey that led down a path of rediscovery Afraid to speak of it, we silently chose which lane to walk We nervously masked our secret feelings with some idle talk, When he curled his fingers around mine, my heart began to race A little uncertain if this journey would end in a sweet embrace We stepped upon an ornamental passage, into a garden maze and witnessed Heaven's light through a mystical golden haze It was awash in nectar blossoms of nature's fragrant flowers In a sweet-scented arbor, we shared passion's kisses for hours Within each others arms we took a vow and pledged our love Witnessed by red roses and a myriad of shining stars above We caressed each other with touches we'd long been denied He wiped away my tears of joy, tears I hadn't known I'd cried Seedlings grow from the ground when nurtured by the sun Our love bloomed in the garden, as we coupled and became one and as tender grapes slowly ripen to become rare vintage wine, we finally surrendered to each other, hearts forever to intertwine
