In a bed of dreams a garden nymph sleeps
visions of romantic love fills her head
here all is magical, his songs she keeps
sound of a lute, poetic words unsaid
awakening with the moon overhead
remembering the gardener's soft touch
tis a mortal, she loves him too much

Does it matter that he is mortal?
ReplyDeleteLove - knows no boundaries..it comes from the heart whether mortal or immortal...
DeleteLove, as long as it lasts, is a beautiful thing!
ReplyDeletethat is very true Mary
DeleteOh, all the more lovely for its coming sorrows.
ReplyDeleteah, have to watch for the sorrows
DeleteShort, sweet, and wonderfully written. I wish my garden had magical creatures. It just has wasps. They do not love me. :)
ReplyDeleteThank guys!
DeleteBeautiful...makes you believe anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteAnything is possible, but is it probable? I believe in miracles..
DeleteBeautiful, lyrical and whimsical. I can picture this piece posted in a beautiful little garden - a little poetic treasure-treat slightly hidden amongst the flowers. Sigh.

DeleteMy loves have seldom hit that in-between "dream" stage...It's been from age five...ALL or NOTHING! (Even though I never knew what love really was/IS.)
ReplyDeleteI DO appreciate the fantasy and dream world of poetic love as a spiritual lifting of my soul to a level above the "daily humdrum" love: dishes, laundry, work, TV, sleep, etc.
Your piece brings an excitement to this blog world in such few phrases. Thank you, True!

Deletewell done....

ReplyDeletethe moon is overhead, but hey it could be overheard..I wonder what it would say and what would be heard.
DeleteBeautiful poem, with a nice touch of sadness toward the end. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove can be bittersweet at times...
