Tapestry of Fallen Autumn Leaves
Summer swan song reminds autumn romance.
You came floating like tinged cloud in my sky,
in my heart its flushed fringe began to dance
with you while love flew as a butterfly.
Charmed I felt nip of longing in the air,
drizzling the spectrum of the sunburst dawn.
On hued boughs of joy I made dreams to share,
till the winter came when I had been gone.
Crystal shine of moonbeam glazed your silk face,
blue breeze whistled the tune of fervent night,
desire sailed in the sea of your embrace.
Tempest of time drifted me out of sight.
In silent twilight hours my mind now weaves
the tapestry of fallen autumn leaves.
