You enter the garden alone
and shut the gate behind you.
You walk swiftly across the lawn
to a tree-shaded place where

Totally loved reading this imaginative fantasy, it's delightfully enchanting how you portray the flowers being awakened by a single kiss! Your words awakened my mind to this wonderful delicacy of the imaginative. Great poem, Daniel. RoseAnn
What an enchanting atmosphere you have created here. A great tribute to feminine beauty n power. How a single kiss from a woman transforms the garden into a magically delightful place and awakens the soul of Nature, it's a beautiful idea rendered with deep sensitivity and grace. A huge 10.
Yes, it is a TRIBUTE TO THE FEMININE. Writing this poem was a joyous time for me. I lovd bring in that garden with all things in harmony and love. Thanks much for your regard.
daniel, i enjoyed the lovely fairy-tale quality of this piece (remembering that fairy tales often tell truths that are suppressed or overlooked) . nice! -glen
What a beautiful poem, it depicts so mildly the actions of a woman and a flower! what touches me most is that it is completely the look from aside and the poet doesn't disturb a woman, he just stares in a complete silence. I almost feel and start to share his long look. That is the case when I need passiveness from a viewer, that is when I start to go into it and don't want a poem to end.
I knew this was your comment, dear Liza, because of the word MILD which you've used earlier to describe the tone of one of my poems. Ad Y-e-s, this a poems of observation, not participation: the male poet knows this and does not disturb the communion of woman and flower, and later the woman's communion with her soul through her journal. That's also why I had her shut the gate behind her, arriving and departing. You sensed the privacy and purity of this poem as you read it. At no point did I plan to add another character, especially a man which would spoil the scene. // My rough draft was only 18 lines, the completed poem is almost 40 lines, so I too did not want it to end. also. I'm very happy to responded sensitively to this poem!

Now this is they way a fairly tale should be written. Forget the princess kissing the prince...she should kiss a flower instead. Such powers of love will restore Nature first, Universe second. Thanks for sharing Daniel. :)
