the garden of Eve

as with the others 
you rarely spoke of your garden with me
and here you are

cupping a rose lovingly in your delicate hand
and closing your eyes to savor it's scent

is where I choose to remain
this is where we all choose to remain
until the day we grow weary of our broken souls
and whisper in the ear of a love stricken comrade
'dig up the garden'
