Exbury Garden

by Lioness   Jan 1, 2012


I am in awe of
your colourful soul;
My muse

Vibrant words would flow -
from my thoughts
Making their way
down to my soft lips

Tracing its curves

Creating vivid
and mesmerizing sounds -
that would sweetly roll off my tongue

Like succulent melon juice -
tantalizing
Awakening my taste buds

Often...

We would dance under the moon -
while it hovered over still water
catching glimpses of its own
silver reflection

At peace

The stars would burn
across the night sky
lighting the path beneath our feet -
leading us to our very own

Exbury Garden

    The poem is beautiful and does not need an elaborate interpretation. So I'll just pitch in my thoughts on this beauty.

    Tracing its curves

    ^ Like TJ said. This specific part is sensual.

    ^ "Awakening my taste buds" - I find it extremely creative. It is all you.

    We would dance under the moon -
    while it hovered over still water
    catching glimpses of its own
    silver reflection

    ^ Love this part. Moon trying to catch its own glimpse in the still water is amazing. Its like the water has become a mirror and the moon is trying to view its own beauty from it, going around and about the lovers, hovering to catch its own glimpse. This particular part makes the poem exquisite.

    The stars would burn
    across the night sky
    lighting the path beneath our feet -
    leading us to our very own

    ^ I can almost picture a couple upon a dark floor with twinkling stars beneath the face of the floor that guide the lovers to an exbury garden into a different dimension, much like a romantic fantasy.

    Very well written.

    This poem is so beautiful, and it was like a breath of fresh air. I love the first stanza, it was so sweet, and I like how you referred to this person as your muse.

    Your metaphors and imagery blew me away. It was such a joy to read! I love the vibrant words flowing from your thoughts, the mezmerizing sounds sweetly rolling off your tongue... Amazing!

    And I love how at the end, you two will be lead to your own garden. It was such a sweet and romantic poem.

    Great job! :)
