It took a while for me to decide to enter the very short love poem contest. Two years ago, I would have passed it by, if I had even seen it at all.

My partner has supported me whole-heartedly in all of my creative endeavors. He has given me strength, praise and criticism. He has shown me great joys and passions I'd never known before which re-lit my inner fire. I've written and created more and more passionately in the last two years with him than in the entire 37 years before. I've grown so much under his care, I feel as if I've finally begun to blossom in life.

Love's Sweet Garden

I am rooted
in your tender heart -
nourished, bewitched,
and jubilant.
Constantly blossoming,
I couldn't wish
for more fertile ground.
