Within a pillow

softly lay

My idle mind 

in dreamy sway

 

Smiles of pearls

from sun lit oceans

Gleam treasured hearts

of romantic notions

 

In honeyed fields

of fragrant fayre

A ballet of blossom

dances on air 

 

Breezes strummed

by notes of lute

Serenade wild fields

of the ripest fruit

 

Trees with leafy hair

of colour

Shed autumn hues

upon secret lovers

 

And folklore spun

from whispers old

Breathe eerie mists

of tales untold 

 

Such dreamy dreams

as midnight closes

 

For moonstruck gardens

now blacken roses
