autumn

        spectral kisses on an autumn night
        hard bright stars that ever take flight
        the scent of flowers just past their prime
        a blanket stained with grass and wine

        a chill that makes your soft skin hide
        but not so cold to make us stay inside
        the enduring warmth of your fingertips
        your anxious, moist, and demanding lips

        the leaves of fall make the air dry and sweet
        and the buzzing creatures of summer fleet
        and on the beach, the street, or in the park
        lovers share whispered secrets in the dark

        the high bright moon sheds a cool clear light
        making your exposed tendernesses bright
        and with abandon and with shining glee
        you make gentle - clumsy - tender - crazy love to me
