Sung warm in alto caress
A tantalize of rice paper lace
Fine loomed and sheer
Exposing silken modesty to starlight kisses
Opening sighs to the smile she misses

Buds blush the cool November night
Warily they tremble, yet bloom still the chill
Moving with the sway of autumns breath
Where dew collects within his palm her kisses follow
Dampening the lips eclipse and hollow

Filled once and then again of sea blue eyes
Moved to deeper greens, made smooth and supple
And bare beneath the heavens lay in willingness without delay
Another song composed within the wild of child’s play
Sung warm, a prayer unto his ear, her own soft say

Defining virgin yet again, tutored to be sweet
Labored to be long, in tender notes held close and strong
Spirited the touches of uncertainty and teased so cleverly
November rose, most joyous spares the clothes of night
Sung warm beneath the frosting blooms, her heart his true delight

Where Autumn's breeze shortens each breath causing the heart to pound faster, rises the anticipation of two lost in crisp orchestra of starlight kisses.  Seems the inspire from this season has found a pen of gold to indulge.  Passion laced in as much beauty as the eyes of remember and a treasure to hold.  ( rasises glass for a toast )

No one caresses a well crafted poem as finely as our own Cowboy...so all I can do is cheer his toast.  Well done, Kathleen!

Raising my glass, and wishing you all sparkling autumn memories.

A toast returned and thank you.

Was thinking ... Autumn seems the nicest time to build an arbor.  ( Forgot to click library ).  Must have still had my eyes closed.

this was dreadfully good, had me sighing and wanting more...

This has defined a touching love story with affection and heartfelt images...thank you for sharing

November is the nicest time to build anything...the foundation is sound, and the heart sees clearest with eyes closed.

Smiling...

Kathleen~
I am 'almost' speechless ... BUT ... this is such a stunning piece ... it deserves more accolades ...~
Pumping it to the top of the heap ... as a treat to those who would be blessed to read one of the finest poetesses at this place~

Beautiful Kathleen!
I stand in awe and applaud you!
Into my library this goes.

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.

Odd....just yesterday I was thinking of
writing about a white worn trellis,  one
leading to the window sill of a fair lovely
maid...seems you beat me to the punch, and
not only beat me,  but created something
so vividly beautiful...as only you can.
