Autumn Falls Like Lovers Do

the morning fog is rising like the fires we lit so long ago in the wake of memories i am more vibrant than the blush of skies and autumn's trees this september morning i watch a flame's dance through amber leaves as they tumble downward the trees stripping layers much like lovers when desire burns i can almost see you rising like shadows beneath the break of sun i can hear the fades of sighs as winded breaths fall out of tempo i taste you in the mist as it falls from my own eyes grounded with the leaves of autumn's call
