Copytight 2004 Erica D'Hondt
flowers of my essence

when she adored a man
   and knew
   his sighs came from her,

she'd call out,
                softly
   inviting him,
                  one day
   to wander in her garden,


for she was embodied
in the garden's riches-
   her heart reddened the roses,
   her love lasted like the grass,
her passions blossomed in lilacs,
   whose scent hung,
                    delicately

   in the breezes
       of her soul

and any man
   the garden didn't like
   could never enter where-

heavy dew trickled upon
   snow-soft petals and
    fragile clouds of eyes
were peonies under moonlight,
   and dark leaves
                drew tendrils
    in an embroidered veil,

only a man who could
        loose himself
           in her scent,
     could ever take root
      in her enchantment.
