Autumn Waits



Autumn waits for me, a distant lover; 
acknowledging my earthy, slow approach 
with promises of cool, whispered kisses 
and loamy, pungent perfumes in the air. 

She is a beauty, red and yellow hair 
swaying to a song most haunting and ripe 
with woolen offers of cider comforts - - 
warm evenings before a cracking fireplace. 

Closer, I am almost upon her door; 
house of baking apple and pumpkin pies - - 
marmalade sunsets, sweet frost from her lips. 
Autumn embraces me, returning lover...
