Autumn Chic

autumn in deep slumber
under the darkening sky
yet, your tenderness
whispers to
my hungry soul;
stirring desire
in my heart
showering me with the living
light of love sublime

i bathe
in your inner beauty
as cherry blossoms in earnest
a flurry
of love particles dance upon the sweetness
liberating
my consciousness
keeping my
dreams alive
