"With a few flowers in my garden, half a dozen pictures
and some books,  I live without envy."  
Lope de Vega

I view my home as an all encompassing feeling that is full of silken petals,
everything so soft to the touch. My books being the most treasured objects as they can  transport me to anywhere in the world. And somewhere in a book I discovered a poem and it was then that I found poetry to be so beautiful.

You are invited to leaf through my books and discover
beautiful poetry.
With joy and gladness for her dower,
And always on the wing,
She extracts sweets from every flower--
For her, life has no sting.

My Pet! of all, I love thee best--
Thou child of noblest mind,--
Who lov'st me more than all the rest,
So generous, good and kind!

Sweet bad! Thou'rt very fair to me,
Unfolding day by day;
From sorrow be thou ever free,
On earth -- long be thy stay!

And still another openeth rare,
Its petals now unclose,
More lovely far beyond compare
Than any splendid rose.

Delicately petaled roses pale pinks
to white softly scented perfume early
morn till late of night. Permeating,
sensualizing, encouraging one to breathe
the aromatic therapeutic spell that
roses weave.

for you to visit.
Flowers of life's bounty
Sweet petals soft with dew
Within our life cascading
Each velvet gift for you

Feel and know the beauty
That enters like a prayer
A very special whisper
With scents of love so rare

Bringing us the comfort
To heal our hurts inside
Softly in this gentleness
Our hearts and souls collide

Our words in life repeating
With thoughts of love and rhyme
Each word a touch of velvet
Those feelings so sublime

All these silken petals
Will make your spirit flow
Treasury of comfort
Life's most enchanting glow.
