The Affair
spring and summer fly quickly by
now a trendy autumn colour brings change
to the night air that can no longer bear
the warmth between our hands
and the smile clings with the strength
of a dying leaf
against the pull of a heavy heart
that knows the wind will blow
in ways we ignored when first we explored
not so long ago
