Love Falls

Her beauty was captivating,
sweet of heart, flustered
within shades of hazel,
searching still luster.

She seemed adrift the tides,
vacant stare of sadness.
Walking lovelorn shadows
on mystic nights.

She was perfect,
the other half of me,
pertinent as sunlight shafts
on a summer breeze.

Late nights talking,
turning from passion to pain;
passing moments walking
under drizzles of rain.

Her skin, caramel candy brown...
eyes of desert sands;
latin, sultry- always around,
yet often sad.
Still conversing to steal a smile
with intent of soul,
I nourished the broken rose
as she these cries.

Every word from her mouth
poured like diamonds,
fire bird rising- skies!
Elicited love ballads,

crimes of the heart,
and kiss sealed ballades
in the dark.

I stare at moonlit streams,
agaze the still of Autumn,
thinking of her tonight
in shades of beauty.
