Lazy slumbers of saccharine lovers
wheel of fortune turns
Aphrodite smiles in the sleepy gaze
They are followed on their odyssey
from dusk to dawn and back again
Beasts bellow, thundering tempest’s stare
in the ebony eyes of moon gazing hare
who doses among drooping ferns
with the sun on his back and stars in his eyes
The lovers are lost now
and stars cross over to watch.
The Green Man guards in silence
the lovers spiral under blooming clouds
