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
