The Garden of Tulips

By S.M.A. Faiz*

The drizzle gave the sky a tinge of gloom
But gracefully dancing were the flowers in bloom;
And having their reign and sway far and wide
Had given me a wonder and a touch of pride.

Inside the garden I made several trips
And one by one came closer in colours galore
Those splendid crowds of tulips
With jovial welcome on the floor.

Also my long-time ladylove with her sheen
Gazed in awe filled with thrills
And a glow in her glistening cheeks and chin
Mellowly twined my inmost feels.

And encompassed that garden of tulips
A state of unrest when in my mind
And gave me a bouquet of tips
And a heartwarming find.

That is something which is profound
That is a haven where tulips abound;
And worry or agony if ever I meet
That would give me a treat which is fresh and sweet.
