Autumnal Tease
Deep within the emerald, jaded summers days
Whilst Mother Nature dances
Exotically lays
In the eyes and minds of human folk
Autumn Elf clambers up
Deep amongst the trees
To whisper words
To tempt her
From summers verde beam
At first she is easily distracted
As a beautiful fledgling flirt
Yet slowly
Through Autumns persistent promises
He softly tempts her
She settles down beside him engrossed in smouldering embers mirth
And whilst his teasing Tongue and breath
Does tinker on her cheek
The cloak of limes and lemon trees
Does
Very
Slowly
Slip
To reveal one precious summer bronzed shoulder
(at this point)
Autumn Elf
Aware his seduction does so succeed
He offers up his golden cap
Whilst bowing on one knee
As after all she is his queen
The one for whom he yearns
And waits silently within the trees
For her glorious return.
