Autumn of My Life

I'll see you
As the flaming
Leaves of autumn
Start to fall

After the harsh
Summer has passed
We'll see each other
Without the
Painter's contrast

Just as the
October moon
Redresses the night
Knee-to-knee
Letting go of secrets
Holding hands
Two hearts speaking
A language
Poets only dream
Of refurbishing on
Their blank page
Rosemary
Sage
Burn bright our love

You were mine
Before I met you
It's been a long
Lonely wait
It's in the autumn
When at last
The seal complete
Our fate
