A Mid-Autumn's Romance

Another fall night on the couch nestled  
Mindless pay per view tries to seduce  
But I’ m already spellbound by my angel
cradled safe with my overarching enfold
 
With a soft turn of your head they flow  
Burnt orange tresses with silvery threads  
capture the capering firelight and ignite  
Fiery ginger waterfalls cascading endless  
 
Enchanted digits wander then part  
as they slowly tease the red silky sheen  
You tilt back with eyes closed exhalation
unveiling the silhouette of my desire  
 
For a moment lust threatens to eclipse  
but he is unhorsed by a softer deeper Eros  
So leaning closer I breathe in springtime
awash in a canopy of wild honeysuckle  
 
Now I collage a flood of liquorish reveries
Eve before the apple beachcombing wonder  
Your little black dress Salsa forever disarming
Hands clasped hiking Sun Gate in cool Incan mist
 
After basking in tender keepsake afterglow
I reawaken to late November love rekindling       
As grateful waters trickle gentle and hushed  
I smile imagining winter’s first snow
