Surprised, I knew,
like a tickling sneeze,
twitching in my nose.
I saw your eyes,
so much like mine...
(yes, I think they were my own.)

How can this be?
An Autumn breeze,
dusting blood-sweat from my brow...
I need to build
a kite to fly
if I can remember how.

Calloused feet,
stifling heat--
we need a blanket spread.
There--a magnolia,
come, and I'll show you
a place to rest your head.

Autumn breeze,
don't tease me, please,
(we both know it's July)
Two pairs of feet
grip hot streets
as four eyes search the sky.

This moment now
let's make no vows
while these Autumn breezes blow...
I'll be content
with no intent
of malice when you go.

Changes of season
are instinct--not reason--
let us build a kite and float,
before winter freezes,
turn sweet breezes
into cold familiar snow.

Then I'll desire
the heat of a fire,
searching for a warmer coat.
Shivering, remembering,
how Autumn breezes blow.


*one for you, dream sweet*

and me says ...
blow baby blow
(hehe)
no escaping this heat me thinks  
love this one...hadn't seen it
me thinks your sleeping now...
shhhhhhh
later baby
me

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
