Underneath The Tree

spying through leaves
dappled shadows
tumbling to the ground
fingers reaching down
caressing my cheek
resplendent bullets
warmth seeping into my blood
molten gold flowing
around my body
eyelids flutter closed
rosy hues dancing,
chocolate earth
thick perfume
laced with rose
twisting branches
carrying the sky
