A couple shares scenes strolling arm-in-arm Midst October trees in vivid colors. A brisk breeze captures leaves that shower down, Some alight softly on the couple's crowns. Little sparrows perched high on birch branches Apprehensively flit from limb to limb. Tender kisses beneath fall's canopy, As light rain begins to drift droplets, Dappled sunlight seeks a way past shadows Like a foggy floating specter of light. The wind whispers, sharing secret passions As kindred hearts meld into each other. No cold is felt by the season's crisp air; Romance warmed by a myriad of hues... Love in soft shades of a scarlet sunset, Embraced by nature's gifts, two become one. 9-20-2017 rev.

I would much rather leave more to the imagination. Thank you very much Michael. I often read my poetry to my five year old granddaughter so I try to be very aware of the fact that this site also has younger people who read our poetry. : )
