Love is like a flower garden

Just words.

(A Poem by Coyote Poetry
We forget sometimes to show love to the people who truly loved us.)

Love is like a flower garden

 

Once we danced in tropical clubs hidden in the dark corners of the tropics,
we lavished in a love without fear of boundaries and distance.

 

You open new doors for a blind man living for nothing and
trying to find a quick death on a futile road leading to no-where.

 

Did I tell you?
You are so beautiful to me.
Did I tell you?
I would bleed for you, die for you to be safe.

 

Few men know harmony and they listen to the allure of the night.
Men are tempted by beauty, war and drink.
Neglect of the love, kindness and family lead old men wishing they
knew real love and found peace in the arms of one woman.

 

Today we act like strangers,
allowing too many small things to separate us.
Shallow gifts of love leave the heart to mourn.
The curse of life steal laughter, desire and hope.

 

Does love die?
Can you rebirth what is lost?

 

Mementos of love are hanging on old walls,
photos of people who knew joy and happiness.
The photos feel like people who lived in latter lives.

 

Can sleeping passion and love be rebirth?
Can the sweet melody of love return?

 

Did I tell you?
How beautiful you are to me.
I would be a empty shell without you.
Did I tell you?
You are the love of my life.

 

Thank you my sweet love.
Forgive me for getting lost and confuse.
You are still the only sweet dream in my life.

 

Love is like a flower garden.
Need love and care to keep alive,
must be tender and kind to, for the plants to grow and bloom.
A beautiful flower had attention and was treated with tenderness.

It is all too easy to fall into the habit of taking those we truly love for granted, it takes considerable effort to avoid making this mistake but is invariably worth it.... there is much truth & wisdom within these words my friend...................Neville

dear John... whether you picked from a garden... a rose or an Iris... the beauty is there.
Nurtured by sunshine and rain and cultivated with birdsong... she is groomed just for you.
A sweet poem with overtures and symphonies of colors to embrace. truly, Pat

Indeed, love needs nourishment just as a flower garden does. It's sad that we often take those who mean the most to us for granted. They might walk out of our lives without ever knowing the impact they had...the love we felt. Beautifully written, John. Lydi**

So much more than just words and true. May love be reborn in every garden to which the neglectful gardener returns, contrite and pure of heart.
