Tears In My Garden

I walked along the garden paths
The wind in my face
Calling me the fool
And here I am dreaming, is she near?

Being young, I believed,
That love always triumphs
And now I wander among roses so red
A fool who once believed

I smell the fragrance of blossoms long gone
I feel the wind, saying time to move on
This empty bench, is where I sit
To shed all these lonely tears

In my garden

You get a 7 on this one. It is just beautiful. There does come a time when we do have to move on. Thanks for reading my Spanish poem. I was really surprised that you could read spanish, that's great. It is also in English and I have another one in Spanish too. Thanks for sharing your beautiful poem.... Lucilla.
