Woodland Rendezvous

Thoughts, creamily flowing
Adhesively cling
Around all the places
Discovered last Spring

Leafy-bowered woodland
Stippled with shade.
Secretly carpeting
The bed we had made.

Covering with rustling
Leaf-sounds, our new love
Modestly hidden
By branches above.

Tumble-down cottage
Deserted and worn
Bore witness to passion
Where before there was none.

Re-finding these places
Was sad, as it seems
They conjure up pleasure
Now only in dreams.

Perhaps a warm, heart-kissed sojourn back to a time when time seemed like forever & pleasantly frozen ? Fay, you continue to impress...your employment of pictorial parlance glitteres like Bowie's Ziggy Stardust ! FjR-2010
