    My Mother’s Garden

    In bloom, a rare tapestry,Petals tell tales of love’s care.Sunlight’s kiss, garden grows,A secret place where peace flows.Her hands sculpt this land,Turning soil, life blooms.Dew like diamonds on leaves rest,In her garden, time nests.Colors dance in morning light,Beauty unveiled, pure delight.Fragrance sweet, symphony in air,In every breath, a mother’s prayer.Nature sings her love song,A testament…

    Pastoral Poems

    Grazing Symphony Where horizon meets sky,Cattle roam nearby.Green pastures wide,Nature’s guide.Mooing in the air,Hooves tread with care.Mountains stand tall,Silent guardians of all.Sun’s golden light,Ordinary bright.Grazing’s slow beat,Life’s dance sweet.Dusk’s fiery glow,Fields whisper low.Cattle find rest,Home in the west. Meaning “Grazing Symphony” paints a vivid picture of cattle grazing in expansive, sunlit fields, embodying the essence…

    Star Crossed Lovers Poems

    Star-Crossed In the hush of twilight’s glow,Eyes met, where stars align.Fate whispered, soft and low,Paths crossed, by design.Moonlit shadows, silent speech,Two souls, in silent plea.Each to the other, gently reach,Bound by destiny’s decree.In the weave of night’s embrace,Secrets shared, under cosmic view.A gentle touch, a tender face,Love, in the night, grew.Yet dawn breaks, cruel and…

    Tree Love Poems

    Ode to the Sentinels Leaf by leaf, they capture light,In gentle sway, they dance at night.Roots deep down, they touch the earth,In silent strength, they find their worth.Bark aged like ancient scrolls,Tales of sun, and rain they hold.Green canopies, vast and wide,Under which our dreams reside.They breathe out life, take in our sighs,Watch seasons change,…

    Everlasting Love

    In timeless bounds, love thrives,Through seasons’ shift, it stays alive.Gentle as a morning breeze,Firm as roots among the trees.Hearts entwined in silent song,In each other’s arms belong.Stars that never lose their glow,In love’s river, deeply flow.Eternal flame, it never fades,Through the brightest days, darkest shades.Like the moon’s unending dance,Guiding light of sweet romance.Love’s bond, unbreakable…

    Love Is Not All

    Love is not a moonlit night,Nor just joy in the light.It’s not just laughter shared,Or dreams we’ve dared.Love is not a gentle kiss,Nor blissful ignorance of what we miss.It’s not in tight embraces,Or night-time daydreams.Love is in the trials,Shared burdens, enduring miles.Tears we together wipe,Rebuilding, no matter the type.Love is strength when weak,Words of forgiveness…

    Eternal Embrace Love, a beacon in the night,Guiding us with gentle light.Side by side, in joy and strife,Woven into the tapestry of life.Moments shared, a precious chain,Linking joy, linking pain.In your eyes, my world anew,Every dawn, a different hue.With each step, our love’s refined,A rare gem, through time unmined.Words unspoken, yet understood,In silent vows, we’ve…

    Telling the Bees

    Spring’s embrace, blooming trees,The keeper shares winter tales.Humming a tune, a breeze sails,Telling bees nature’s melodies.Hives alight with buzzing ease,Secrets deep, honey’s fragrance dwells.Blossom visits, stories spell,Seasons turned by the sun’s degrees.”Your queen is well,” he whispers,”The hive thrives strong,” gentle hand.Bees hum, their dance alive,Trust and bond, no words command.Ritual, through which both thrive,Sustains…
