Love Falls

Her beauty was captivating
sweet of heart, flustered 
within shades of hazel
searching still luster.

She seemed adrift the tides
vacant stare of sadness,
walking love lorn shadows
on mystic nights.

She was perfect
the other half of me
pertinent as sunlight shafts 
on a summer breeze.

Late nights talking
turning from passion to pain,
passing moments walking
under drizzles of rain.

Her skin, caramel candy brown
eyes of desert sands 
Latin, sultry- always around,
yet often sad.

Still, conversing to steal a smile
with intent of soul
I nourished the broken rose
as she these cries.

Every word fr her mouth
poured like diamonds
fire bird rising... skies!
ellicited love ballads;

crimes of the heart,
and kiss sealed ballades 
In the dark.

I stare at moonlit streams,
agaze the still of autumn 
thinking of her tonight
in shades of beauty.
