in the garden of dreams
stretched a moonlit shadow of a rose
dancing in the eyes of a poet
her gentle hands
her imagination in bloom
she gathered her desires
in the golden flame of candlelight
and as she lay upon the floor
she composed a song of folds and creases
whispered love notes tucked under
the wings of a 1000 cranes
and at night , at moonfall
they flew into the heavens
and a lotus bloomed within a star
as I held a flower to the east
and felt the essence of
of her heart
