The Garden of Love

I was drained and scorched from the dessert's sun
I ate dust, drank sweat, licked my tears, until the day was done
I became weary, I cried in a faint, tired voice; Oh when will this be over?
To see a friendly face; to hear a child's voice; to smell the fresh essence of a flower
To wrap myself in the warm loving embrace of a passionate lover- that's my desire!
I woke, and saw you standing over me
you took my hand, held be close, hugged me tightly
you touched my cheeks, kissed my lips, caressed my hips
You loved me passionately
your lips were so inviting
your smile,ever so enchanting
you whispered in my ear
welcome home my dear
welcome to our garden of love!
