Dappled

"dappled reflections revitalize our love" ~ by poet In the dappled shadows, my soul is lost As darkness deepens, my heartbeat gets tossed Like a lace veil, your thoughts cover my mind Such dreams we share, affection unconfined In the dappled sunlight, wishes come true Nightmares all left behind, hope springs anew Forging forward to reach that forever Where troubles forgotten, we'll love ever In the dappled meadows, I remember Our crimson passion, a burning ember Lingering kisses float upon the breeze Under the shade of cherry blossom trees In the dappled garden, we're together Enjoying the beauty of pink heather In intimate silence, we simply rest Dappled reflections make me feel quite blessed.
