It’s a blue rhapsody that plays across the asphalt Where the hiss of brushed drops is accompanied By the low murmuring of wind along the crimson skirt of leaves As the fire bush seduces eyes to follow The sway of her limbs October has come again And the slow jazz ballad she sings to the wind Reminds me of how warmth feels on skin When she lay on my arm and we stared at the sky Sneaking hymns of touch between the chorus and refrain Always an octave lower than the sighs Improvise The tenor of fingertips along the arm Keep time with the wail of storms that build Just beyond the hills where they wait with long legs To wet the tongue of earth before settling Into a 4-4 slow of mist I remember how it was to kiss you then To the quickened beat of hearts There is this And the shortened days as bring more of stars Time to the sky where they stare icy eyed from their seats Unmoved by season’s tunes or the texture Of slim fingers as they find notes of pleasure Upon the keys of another song Letting chords of memory find reign On this October storm |

yes, it often makes me shiver... for even with all its wonderful colors and the beautiful light, it brings with it the frost and change from warmer nights to the colder time... appreciate your read and leaving a few words... now, go get warm... :-) |

Fall is my favorite time of year...and this reminds me of where I live....at night with no one else around; all I hear is the river, wind, and rustling of the leaves speaking to me...far cry from where I used to live in the city... Happy Halloween!!!

October is the month I first saw the light and thus, my favorite. I love the way you sing her song. |
