Like An Autumn Sun

I thought I had forgotten the end of summertime, I thought I stopped remembering that last night you were mine. Moments side by side before fresh petals dried. But like an autumn sun in skies of blue, Low I sink in you. Recalling our slow dance far from crowds and friends, My fleeting light through leaves, through thoughts and quiet love in cobbled narrow streets. To first October rain pit-pattering in streams Flowing,slowly falling like early threaded dreams. Swaying,gently playing sad fluting melodies. But like an autumn sun in skies of blue, Low I sink in you. Suddenly I think,I think of you. Upon your tired shoulders I set my orange hue.

Excellent use of metaphor, comparing yourself to a sinking "autumn sun." You have always shown a gift for writing romance, Charmaine. So nice to see you back here, dear. I hope Christina is doing well! Maybe she's in school now and you have more time for poetry? Hugs, Carolyn
