When I kiss you
I want your lips
To open like an
Envelope to my letter
I want them to
Frame my lips like
A piece of art
And drift apart like
Clouds in the sky
When I kiss you
I kiss your soul
When I kiss you
I want your lips
To open like an
Envelope to my letter
I want them to
Frame my lips like
A piece of art
And drift apart like
Clouds in the sky
When I kiss you
I kiss your soul
Fall is like poetry
Leaves are like words
They start like shade
Under which to hide
Then move and shimmer
Swooshing their own melodies
Turning slowly into something
Else like whispered affection
Bursting with colorful meanings
And slowly dropping dancing
Twirling and landing bringing
Joy and kicking crackles
Oh how I do
Love poetry and fall
There’s something about fall
That brings such comfort
Brilliant colors and awe
Trees exploding like fireworks
That last for days
Of layers put on
And eventually taken off
Like the armor we
Wear before meeting someone
And the nakedness after
Of once cold drinks
Migrating to warmer ones
While anticipating the holidays
We live in such
A fast world that
Autumn slows down reminding
That change brings beauty
Fall fell today
Time to change
To huddle cuddling
Of weathers sweaters
Of twinkling piano
Lazily wafting overhead
Overheard above crackling
And spitting fires
Swooning and sweeping
Orange and red
Across the room
And whiskey neat
As we’re given
Another good reason
To move closer
Together as though
We need one
And here especially here
My favorite season entered
Quietly and without fanfare
Like a lover climbing
Clandestinely into my bed
And snuggling up close
Landing whispering kisses onto
Drowsy lips with promises
Of magnificent things to
Come Happy Autumn all
