Night-scented

A short poem about the flower this place is named after.

Matthiola (stock, or night-scented stock) only really opens up after dark. This place is named after it, and shab means night in Persian.

In the silent nights,
Night-scented flowers dance,
With gentle breezes
In the garden of our dreams.

The scent of night-blooms at night
Recalls lost loves,
And a hope that still
Glows in our hearts,
When silence
Is the language of our intimacy.

Each petal tells a tale
Of a night that passed,
Of moments when in silence
We were filled with peace.
