My Sweetness,
Color the leaves
All shades
Of life in death.
The breeze,
Once a blanket
Warm and wet,
Is twisting to
A fractured sheet
Of frosted glass.
My Precious,
Hide your hand
In mine.
Let my chill
Enfold yours.
The oppressive heat
Is overthrown,
Wasting away
Like bent and
Weary trees.
My Dearest,
You shine
With autumn dusk.
Sing my praise
And my misty breath
Sings your song.
Walk with me
Just a little farther,
My Beautiful.
Skeletal fingers,
Brittle, melancholy,
Striving for sleep,
Brushing the sky.
I lay my hand
On your sun-streaked
Hair.
My Sweetness….
My Love,
Rest with me
Awhile.
Frozen ground
Where rocks and dew
Turn to ice
And you with me.
Fall back into
Comfort.
Let these be
Your dreams.
Any moment now
We'll watch the
First flakes
Descend.
In the morning
I won't leave you
In this bed
Alone.
The season
Turns
To the final
Snowfall
And bids us,
My Sweetness,
Good night.
