VERITY
the madrigal, volume iv
Garden; a ghazal
by khushi jain
I remember the day you turned red in the garden
The day pink roses bled in the garden
Golden suns swam in the fountain
Venus herself tread in the garden
Nature paused and closed her eyes
Plums and peaches wed in the garden
Sonnets were written in pampered petals
Pushkin hearts were read in the garden
Tomorrows were yearned and patiently promised
Many Forevers pled in the garden
Our lips were sealed in purple prayers
Nothing yet all was said in the garden
