Wettened by the mornings dew 
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew 
Footprints stained the cobblestone 
Where my love and I had walked, alone 

Hand and hand we strolled along 
In my mind I heard a lifting song- 
the joyful tune of knowing 
such love of ours was overflowing 

As we walked sweetly, side by side 
My teeming love, I could not hide 
As I poured her with warm embrace 
Her misty breath blew in my face 

I become nostalgic, whenever I think of it 
Unmindful of surroundings, not even a bit 
Like butterflies, in full romantic mood 
There, with each other, we were glued  

Sweet light's tryst with blowy mist 
The fog and dawn waltzed as we kissed 
Fertile bliss of rosebud lips 
Strands of sunlight round my fingertips 

Breathless sun, full of grace, cascades 
Over the moments, in soaring shades 
Vibrant hues reviving growing yearnings, 
Kissing away darkness' deepest burnings 

Misty mornings drew us in 
Where footprints deftly shod within
The steps of heart we took to find, 
The beating of eternal kind

The world was shrouded in the mist, 
and once again the lovers kissed, 
but when the fog dispersed, the slaves
retreated to their dusty graves

Thank you, Jan. There were so many wonderful writes in my contest (yours included) I wish I could have had more winners but some of the verses just didn't fit in with it. I loved your verse too! "The twisted blade of grass is just a token ring" Wonderful line! Hugs Charlie xx
