Poignant and Bittersweet
When the fire of Autumn fills limbs of trees,
And the covering light frost comes around.
I still remember a summer's wet leaves,
And your footprints fading in its soft ground.
Seasons distant now, though once fresh and new.
A memory faint of our love remains.
The ever haunting silhouette of you,
As you disappeared in the falling rains.
Should we meet again, if for a moment,
To gaze into life's eyes where time unfolds,
And relive each breath when bodies were spent,
Finding hunger from love crossed all thresholds.
Can time capture a dream that once glistened?
Can we hear beating hearts if we listened?
