lavender breeze
through lilac and lace
evensong, windsong
let’s find a place
just off the trail
look for an evergreen.
memories we’ll make,
we’d never dream
soft on a blanket
from branches hang lanterns
raspberries, blackberries
shadows make patterns
stars in the night sky
just us together
kisses will find us
for now and forever

“Let’s find a place”
I love how it could mean any place at all. It doesn’t necessarily have to be under a canopy’s shade, or on the white sands of an empty beach. I love how it could mean an abandoned apartment or the harsh streets, but as long as “the both of you” were together, any place would fill up with evergreens and night skies and kisses.
Such a beautiful poem, and its meaning to me (not exactly everyone else) is just insurmountable.:)

Thanks so much for your kind words. You’re right, it could be any place, the back seat of a car, a secluded doorway, a wheat field. I’m glad you like it. I enjoy your poetry as well, especially “i do not see”. I am following your blog, so that I may return often. ~ Dennis

I didn’t know it was not yours Dennis, but I like that you chose it to complement your words. Reminds me of a great Bon Jovi song ‘ Make a Memory” in its tone.
very romantic and sweet :)
