Dappled Moon

Her hair is curled, auburn,
      dipped in sun-touched honey hues;

Her eyes are wild sapphires,
      with pupils set in gold;

Her skin is fair and freckled,
      like a dappled moon in June,

And fireflies add a sparkle,
      to her clinging ivy gown –

This the Goddess,
      dancing in my dreams;

This is the Goddess,
      unraveling my world
      at the seams.
