Distilled, the days that have enchanted me
Through silence and through favor
Comes rolling off my tongue
In subtle spearmint flavor
In the shadow of your touch
Danced beneath the whisper of fingertips
Memories served crisp of colors
Crumbling leaves in fall and flutters
A smile that edges over, moving slower
Holding back against unstoppable
The blur of heartbeat echoes north
Rocking me in songs set forth
Soothing all the days a sway in distant long
The fireplace resumes familiar welcome in the air
And cool becomes my favorite sunshine fare
Our timeā€¦the most alike that we could be
So close surrounds each memory
The gold shines every leaf and crevice
At home inside the seasons love has led us
A promise still so easy to fulfill
Eminent domains of faith hold still
And tumble into lightest touch
Adrift the colors warm each blush
Anew, well springs the autumn

Don't tell me the trees are starting to
change already.  Here I am battling 90 percent
humidity and she is basking in the coolness
of the year.  To move or not to move...
(flipping coin)....ooops!  Dropped it...
We'll never know..

Very beautiful write K.  very colorful.

excellant rhymes, a nice carpet of words

New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire
