Leaf Tear and Kiss

Leaf Tear And Kiss Atop the oak tree with green leaf on the overlook Red sun hung up there with it on the cliff A valley held out, cupped its hand, waited On a tiny leaf like tear It broke off to sojourn down Lovers pointed up to see the floating green transform Turn its colors into a kiss Bright colors released into their souls Leaf brushed like a feather on their cheeks A kiss just below the eyes Changed before them as it faded From green to multicolored to brown Dropped before it landed like a sweet kiss on the mouth It touched their lips, transformed them on the spot Kissed them once again just above the earth As they soured on Into October bliss
