falling like leaves
~ for Karin ~
oh how a fair breeze of Autumn can stir
my heart with reprieves - the redolent leaves
remembrance of romance with you in a blur
soft eyes in a camber of absinthe and amber
wheaty hair spilling like corn silk to shoulders
framing two spicy bow lips as they smoldered
falling like leaves … for you
oh how this time lifts me back to a dream
our ivy-clad schools - such unripened fools
a world as our oyster, and raw it would seem
escaped to the woods - discarding our goods
we swam on a blanket of bright leafy death
straining in passions to fever each breath
falling like leaves … for you
oh how the chill always kindled our flame
pining each week for the rose of your cheek
weekends adoring the ways that you came
our fleshy memoirs ‘neath branches and stars
each mutual climax much sweeter than last
the moments exhausted like us, far too fast
falling like leaves … for you
oh Autumn yet sings midst my sinews today
the libertine flood still coursing my blood
you ‘waken my core in the most vexing way
when October flies I ache for your sighs
tho’ marrow grows icy the mem’ry remains
chaotic obsessions through prurient pains
someday I’ll surrender them - tears in the rain
falling like leaves for you …
still falling … in Deja vu.
* This is a very rhythmic and musical form I created called ‘QARINAGE’ I hope you enjoyed it. *
