' A Walk Thru The Garden In Moonlight ... '( Song of Solomon 4: 16 ) We Walked In The Garden At Midnight We Walked Thru The Garden In Moonlight Among Azealeas & Verbenas & Blue Jonquils Sweet Honeysuckle, Yellow Primroses & Daffodils Among White Phlox & Orchids & Pretty Pink Quills Two Lovers Holding Hands In Romantic Thrill Your Touch Grows That Budding Power Still As We Walked In The Garden At Midnight We Walked Thru The Garden In Moonlight Among Tulips and Lilies and Wine-Hued Amaryllys Intoxicating Lilacs & Jasmine & Ground-Cover Iris Breathing In Lavender & Vanilla & Bougainvillea Scents Wafting Heady & Sensual Yet of Shy-Perfume Strength While Walking In The Garden At Midnight While Walking Thru The Garden In Moonlight A "Home Sweet Home" Brass Plaque Cast Soft Glints By A Heartshaped Box Holding Moonflowers & Herb-Mints Symbolizing Love's Nature The Way It Was Meant & There Was A Touch of Citrus Somewhere, Just A Hint Wafting From Beyond Our Closest Neighbor's Fence Bowed To Our Queens of The Nights As Darkness Squints and Slender Topiary Stands Crowned With Hyacinths Guards Our Garden Where So Much Time Is Spent Walking In The Garden At Midnight Walking Thru The Garden In Moonlight Our Garden, Well Tended, Cultivated Thru Till & Toil Thorn Blooddrops & Brow-Sweat - Has Moistened Our Soil Sprouting Tendrils & Offshoots That Loops Softly In Coils On Our Garden's Ground - Grown So Large & Lovely & Loyal (as More Queens of The Night & Roses Reigned Royal) The Story Is: We Saw The "For Sale" Sign ... & It Was Love At First Sight For Our Family & Our Future, It Would Fit Us Just Right We Bought The Ground-Plot - Our Land of Dreams So Bright ... Built A House, Made A Home & A Garden of Delight Filled With Peonies, Carnations & My Philodendron-Fetish Hydrangeas Spilling Riotously All Over The Trellis Ivy Interwoven All Thru The Surrounding Lattice Periwinkle & Prize Winning Magnolias Embellish As Cattails Encircle The Pond - Our Garden's Chalice We Walked Past Gladiolus & Silver Sage At Midnight We Stepped Into Our Private - Garden Stage In Moonlight Our Eyes Became Stars A Reflective Shine Our Lips Became Sprinklers - Our Arms Were Vines That Clung To Both Limbs - Yours & Mine That Attached Like Roots of Evergreen Pines That Rose Like Stems That Bleeding Heart-Flowers Climb Among Four O'Clocks & Hollyhocks & Silver Thyme While Wading Thru The Garden At Midnight While Wooing In The Garden In Moonlight Still Sharing Secrets That Our Shadows See On This Rendezvous To A Path of Our Life's Journey We Come To A Stop By A Stand of Myrtle Trees This Is The Spot Where The Earth Seems To Breathe As You Kneel In Blue-Star Grass Upon An Older Knee By The Purple Violets - Where You Proposed To Me Oh, What Better Way To Start Each Anniversary than In The Place That We Both Share Passionately ... When Walking Thru Our Garden At Midnight and Waking In Our Garden In Moonlight Written & Copyrighted ©: 8/30/2013 by: MoonBee Canady Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
