Here in this garden of nocturnal delight lunar shadows dance on dew covered grass while mystical creatures hop between the delicate stems of swaying Gladiolus Wrapped only in silver rays of the moon we drift 'pon silken petals over lilac waters Two hearts speaking in signs to one rhythm yet, here in our garden of nocturnal delight it is in your eyes that I am lost Drawn deep into the forest of your affection by a soul that possesses a tenderness and beauty I never knew could exist; showing me a world I'd never seen A world where cherry blossom clouds dance across a diamond sky while emerald birds drink from a jade brook Lying here in the darkness with you in my arms tears fall as I hear ancient trees converse about coral butterflies whispering pastel greetings and beautiful stories of a splendid intimacy shared Written with Shadow of the past.
