The Garden of Love

In the garden where love blooms bright,
Paths are lit by tender moonlight.
Each flower a verse of pure delight,
Under stars that guide the night.

Silent wishes float on air,
Carried by breezes, soft and fair.
Love’s melody, a sacred tune,
Played beneath the silver moon.

In the weave of petals’ lace,
Gentle touches, a serene embrace.
Where shadows dance and spirits soar,
In this garden, love's at the core.

Bound by the earth, sky, and sea,
Two hearts wander, wild and free.
In every bloom, a promise kept,
In every silence, secrets wept.

Here, where love's eternal spring,
Every moment a precious thing.
In the garden where love resides,
Boundless, pure, it forever abides.
