The Garden Where your Love Grows

Let's make a garden in 

Our dreams that will last forever.

Until the vines from our chests

Intertwine with the same soil.

-

The thoughts of you are

Gently kissed onto 

My forehead and my

Heart starts to blossom.

-

And with every kiss 

You plant in my mind,

The walls around me

Crumble into rose petals.

-

The layers fall until

I am left without the thorns.

Unguarded in your warm

Blooming chest and sunshine eyes.

-

Yet you still wonder why

I always smell like flowers

Hey, TheUnknownWriter! ScytheMeister here for a quick review :)

This was beautiful, so romantic and passionate. I loved it! The way you tied in flowers and nature was mesmerising and I thought you did a great job of portraying it, it was well-written and shown perfectly to the reader.

I would suggest minor changes to the structure:

Let's make a garden
In our dreams,
That will last forever.

Until the vines
From our chests
Intertwine,
With the same soil.

These thoughts of you
Are gently kissed
Onto my forehead
And my heart starts
To Blossom.

With every kiss
You plant in my mind,
These walls around me
Crumble into rose petals.

These layers fall
Until I am left
Without the thorns.

Unguarded,
In your warm blooming chest
And sunshine eyes.

Yet, You still wonder
Why I always smell like flowers.


I hope this helped. Good job!

Hi. This is Kman134. I'm here to review your work.

The story was very romantic and imaginative. the symbolisms and metaphors were well-constructed. the emotional feel made me feel like i was teleported to an otherworldly realm of beauty and wonder.

"Let's make a garden in

Our dreams that will last forever.

Until the vines from our chests

Intertwine with the same soil."

the use of nature and psychedelic tones in the beginning made me feel like i was in a dream. the simile within it was like staring at a baroque artwork. the eternity of dreams and the absence of time was ingenious for a prologue in this poem.

"And with every kiss

You plant in my mind,

The walls around me

Crumble into rose petals."

The romantic tone within this stanza was pretty innovating, symbolizing your love like the fall of petals, which also shows how much your love had bloomed and lasted for so long.

anyway, this was pretty good and i hope you keep writing more.

Thank you so much for the review and I'm really glad you liked it! :D

Hello, I'm here to review your poem!

This is a really nice piece of poetry. I love the imagery and feeling of a garden you create around the stanzas. The narrator is probably a rose, hard to access but when you break through you see a lot of beauty.

Your concept and theme is executed well, but sometimes the flow is so-so. For example,

Let's make a garden in our

Dreams that will last forever.


I'm not particularly fond of lines ending with pronouns. Where is the word they're modifying? I know free verse doesn't have so much rules, but I prefer your line to end with "our dreams". There are other places, too. You don't have to fix the line or anything but I just want to say that, in my opinion, ending with attributive modifiers is not my thing.

Gently kissed onto my

Forehead and my heart


and

Unguarded in your warm

Blooming chest and sunshine eyes.


And I also felt as though the last stanza was too short. Because you divided the other stanzas into four lines, two lines is a bit jarring, unless that's the effect you were intending.

But my critiques were in minor places, and overall I definitely enjoyed your poem and I have no other complaint.

Sincerely,

From Princess Ink

Thank you so much! I was kind of iffy about the line breaks as well but I will try to fix it as much as I can. Thank you for the review!



You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.
