It was you that brought the summer breeze Through a worn wooden door covered by Black screen and swatted flies. A door that Moaned and shrieked, squawked and squeaked. I remember too well that door, as my hand Brushed your own and your eyes looked Tauntingly over our shoulders while your perfume Beckoned and swirled behind me as the Latch gently clicked and a hidden sigh Missed a delicate ear. And as the hours fell into the hourglass, saying Adieu…it was you that brought the chill of Night into a room filled with dancing flickers And quiet snickers….and oh, how I remember Your eyes as they gently closed and Autumn Leaves fell carelessly onto a field of white Cotton as the rise and fall of our breath Froze our eyes as we awaited the silenced fall of newborn snows… |

My favorite kind of imagery, left your eyes, and drifted on this page for me to read. TD |

"I remember too well that door, as my hand Brushed your own and your eyes looked Tauntingly over our shoulders while your perfume Beckoned and swirled behind me as the Latch gently clicked and a hidden sigh Missed a delicate ear." You bring the blush to my cheeks Barry. And the WS beckoned and swirled behind you?  Beautiful piece of writing...more please? Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile~ |

You must surely have a romantic heart to pour such perfection from your pen. *S* |
