18th Century Love

Romanticize a scene 
it falls in endless dreams 
begin and then you see 
that what it is is all it will ever be

crimson petals in a vase
lace curtains rise, open windows
open eyes 
kisses soft
whispers cannot compete 
of how delicate a moment is with you 

leaves drop onto the ground
cold cobblestones
dusk drops upon us 
melting on our tongues such is Autumn 
until the second we must part 
I'll hold you tight here in the dark

A very lyrical and romantic write you have offered us. This is beautiful, I really like this. What a wonderfully expressive piece.

Thank you! I wanted to write about fall without writing about leaves falling, changing colors, blah, blah, blah lol. I started off with a romantic piece and it let me put a sliver of fall awe in it :)
