"Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze."
~Emily Dickinson

Dearest Autumn my love so fair
how I wish you would never leave.
Your colors a bounty beyond compare
in your arms I long to cleave.
Our time together too short once more
a twirling dance I don't want to end.
But like a fickle kiss you will ignore
and leave me alone over and over again.
So with these words I take one last gaze
to your mystery and all your charms.
For my heart you always swiftly take
as I await you with open arms.
I know that autumn is long since gone, but it is my favorite season, and when the words came I went with it like the wind.
What is your favorite season?

autumn is my fav for sure....i wish she would linger...but gives us the briefest tryst...a flash of color a cool kiss and then turns us over to the ice....smiles.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you are a true outdoorsman Kelvin...thank you for stopping by. :-)
Deletelovely words....
ReplyDeleteI love all times of year, though November can be the one month I don't like (if the autumn leaves have already gone and the cold of winter already set in)
I can understand that....when the leaves have all fallen....it leaves a sad feel in the air.
DeleteThe season of the heart. :)
ReplyDeleteSo true! :-)
DeleteGorgeous! Autumn lives in my heart-it is my favorite, too!
ReplyDeleteI love your line about the fickle kiss-so true!
Wonderful!
