show me there the dulcet tree

[trypanophobic34]

Just a beautiful poem I like.

"you said" by ripari

you said take me to the garden
show me there the dulcet tree,
the sweetfern way
and where the water falls
so sharp and cold it cleaves
if you should bend to taste
what saturates desire.

come stop with me i heard you say,
beneath the dogwood bower
warn me round the white-spread lay
of bloodroot through the green
and study me, unlikely flower-
with base intent take note,
unearth, discover.
