Affection of Older Autumn

It  is late September  again,
  effervescent,  fair---much like 
the  first  touch of air-brushed flame
 seizing  an ardor glazed by
an ever- changing pastel light… 
 we are still here,
 on autumnal  view's entrance
breathing sweet ambrosia 
from life's harvest...perhaps older
as grey marbles collected through
fables of silence together : our weary
bodies are held by endless glow past mid-life,
recalling youth's  blazed affection
while evening fog embraces us,
through a tender  contentment 
of devotion's soft kisses.
