Autumnal Classics


Fresh leaves fall gently on the ground 
without making a sound
Piano keys softly caress 
warmed by sunlight gest
Brushing my senses on this delicate afternoon 
she plays on, as time just croons
I notice she has pinned her hair up just so 
a touch of mascara 
a light scented oil of " Je ne sais quoi " 
a touch of blush real or not ? 
 
Refreshments are served Victorian style  
alongside persimmon leaves 
and tangerine kisses for me 
Inside this great big elegant room 
of beauty and romance, 
I know she is hoping for at least, 
     ...a dance.

In these ugly days of my life, I yearn for good food. Must diet and swallow poison. A lovely poem, none-the-less.
