Premiere Contest WinnerLost In Autumn's Goodbye

The stunning scarlet leaf flows with gentle fervor.
Freedom requires a depth of beauty for nature's relinquished desires.
There seems to be a dynamic image brought forth from the soft 
breeze that whispers dainty goodbyes. For our love is gone and so 
is the memory of the barren branches from our favorite sapling. 
I knew not of love before you, only of the heartache that Autumn 
bestows.

                     I needed you like a breath of fresh air;
                     you lost me in the wind.

                                               -delicate crimson…

Gorgeous write, Laura, and so expressive ... Autumn always reminds me of my first true love, and always will, and that's why I love, (and fear), it so. Congratulations on this fine win! :-) <3

But, but, it doesn't rhyme! :) This is tremendously done. I love the last line - I may need to borrow it for one of my guilt-trip sonnets, it's a powerful conclusion to a passionate write.
