Autumnal Grace by Leilani C. Racoma-Lessnau

Stay ever so near in my heart, sweet love-

for chilly Autumn winds blow so swiftly.

I must know that I can still see your beauty

When the dry autumn winds blow right through me.

Oh Autumn Lover, I Search For You!

You are there my love, in the grace of a fall tree.

Reaching, twisting, and embracing transition-

Undressing your supple summer glamour

For the simplicity of amber colored radiance.

You are here, my beloved, in the scent of the air-

Ever so musky, woody and persuasively present.

I flirt with your aroma upon your bed of fallen leaves-

Your fragrance boldly braided within the locks of my hair.

Oh Autumn Lover, I Remember You!

I feel you, fervently seeking the light of purity in my harvest fields,

Then hiding within my vineyard of succulent autumn grapes.

Your bliss- intoxicates me when I delicately consume your wine

And the memory of your joy lingers upon the sugar of my lips.

I can see you brightly now, my fiery and luminous soul…

You are brilliantly gleaming above the hunter’s full moon.

High beyond the dark horizon of the autumnal night sky-

Where your heart rides restlessly upon the stars of Pegasus.

Oh Autumn Lover, My Love Betides You!

Stay ever so near in my heart, my sweet love-

for these chilly Autumn winds blow so swiftly.

I must know that I can still see your beauty

When the dry autumn winds blow right through me.
