Beneath the Moonlight

Dappled moonlight illuminates lovers
                                          beside old ford
                                          they lock eyes
                                            to breathe
                                               love;
                                               White
                                               roses
                                          dance in glee
                                        as they witness 
                              An affair to remember forever.

Moon light fascinates lovers and under a moonlit sky many a memorable romantic drama is staged. 'Locking eyes'.... lovely expression.

Beautiful graphic presentation for the double tetractys. I kinda like the affair to remember forever when the days get lonesome and boring. Congrats.
