shocking, the view of her attire
transparent throughly
the ness of Autumn's shy

   slowly she disrobes herself
   leaning up against
   the transcendental sky

   the tossled blues moan softly
   as the branches shed the summer

   perhaps you think
   you may have captured her
   as you've sewn together
   patches scattered, as she unravels ...

but in truth
you are the one captured
breathlessly you await
as surroundings become travels

   she drops a glove of filagree
   and sweeps you blindside
   on the path of her seduction

   the falling leaves toss colors
   lending pigment to the blank face awnings,
   then form a bed of painted brass,
   as she longs to lay her soul upon it
   with you along her side

your senses leave you, stunning,
twisting, turning ... falling into her charms,
longing for the big finale
yet giving her her way, accepting,
enjoying Autumn's ride

   and she revels in her striptease
   as you play the audience of one for now,
   for the theatre of her hungry mind

   as she knows her state of oscillations,
   her calamity of conflicts,
   of both goddess
   and the wench that duel inside

she dances upon hidden dreams long gone
deeper than imaginations,
softer than whispered winds,
carrying herself with pride

   so she brings you to her challenge
   to seek the very depths of her

   and smiles demurely
   at your proclamation
   that you've claimed her now

   but the truth within her self
   she knows, upon your anxious feet,
   lay merely just a token leaf (or glove)
   shes dangled for your watchful eyes

the seduction never ends
though you may feel her slip away,
to hold your breath for the moment (or love)
is to lose the cool Autumn skies

A wonderful team you both make...enjoyed.

and I am haunted
by my illicit exquisite dream
but I can't really wake up
so I just drift in between

Thank you, everyone, for your read and reply.

     All cudos go to Inky, she originated the poem and I just tried to dress it back a bit!!

       It doesn't take great minds to write something like this ....

        ... just souls that feel a similar passion.
