In a garden where shadow dances with moonlight
A solitary rose, vibrant against the night
Murmurs of the untold, draped in velvet fog
Eyes meet, a fleeting brush of destiny
The clock ticks erratically, time's grasp loosened
Frenetic heartbeats, disjointed, a melody unsung
Words scatter like autumn leaves
Some lost in the wind, others gently cradled
Secrets nestled within the embrace of silence...
