POEM: Secret Garden

This is my write for the CPC Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenge.  Diane and Jon’s theme is “Enchanted Garden.”

Secret Garden
A Shakespearean Love Sonnet

Among our discontents, we cringe to think:
so much forgotten, only traces left.
What of our history survives to drink
so memories do not leave us bereft?

What ho! To pluck a rose from days gone by
as vivid as it once was in that time!
Upon new sonnet’s verse to lay a sigh
for joys unveiled long years before this rhyme.

Remembrances of he and her entwined.
Two plied the season’s warm inviting thighs
beneath a summer moon; true love defined,
enjoying rose’s bloom before it dies.

Through traces in two hearts held deep inside,
shared secret gardens of delights reside.
