Embrace...
for we are no longer young,
yet love has offered its second hand,
mid life takes a turn,
ever more beautiful than before.
Scattering of russet floats,
tenderly they spiral to the touch.
She dances upon the blanket,
covering nature's jewels,
as we caress .
Autumnal shades,
gather pace,
shedding leaves from the branches ever reaching,
as we lay naked... ..
silken scents fill air so soft,
inhaling the beauty before us.
Hand of strength
held me close,
Closer.............
I hear your breath
exhale..
we meet...
feelings fire our tender flame
sweetness of honey,
senses our desires.
For now,
my lover..
as the time of life shares gray,
I will ..
love you
forever, my passing day.

A) The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August,
and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst
the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.

Beautiful
So true often as we grow older love and its true meaning often unfolds like a new rose bud in bloom with such grace for as when young often a dew drop will form as a tear yet in one seasoned and hearts full of love the dew drop wouldnt dare mar the beauty as it blooms full term
