Autumn-Ku

Your smile, like flames
My cold ire
Melting

Fall skies
Weeping gray
Soft cheeks, pelting

Confetti leaves
Dance, bright
Weave our rug

In your eyes
Hues spin
My heartstrings, tug

Long walk
Tree canopy
Rainbow roof

Hand-in-hand
Autumn romance
Frown-proof

Cold and damp
Bumps on your skin
Shiver

Hug, close
This chill fall day
Love-giver.
