Autumn's Breath

i gather my thoughts like a squirrel scurrying to find nuts as it rustles through leaves on crisp lawns the air is warm as am i when wrapped in thoughts of you i can almost feel your touch press against me a breath of air touches there as autumn breathes slightly cooler then you memories twirl in my mind like these little leaves as they spiral down suddenly i am blushed more than the trees as i remember our first kiss i look at the branches slightly quivering in the wind as did i back then as i watch the sun fade slightly redder than i the ground and trees mirror her reflection i marvel at the beauty and wonder why does everything so beautiful have to end soon these trees will be stripped of color stand naked in blankets of white autumn breathes again somewhat cooler than before i shiver beneath her touch and my thoughts fade with the night... the scent of autumn fills the air as i head back home i can hear the crackle of fresh burning wood you await by the fire your lips reach towards mine i tremble within i feel your breath against my flesh and i remember autumn's breath and blush as i think perhaps there is beauty in being naked beneath blankets of white
