My dreams of you unfurl the scent of Autumn,
the fond recurrence of Sky blue and vanilla
clouds whispering by, crisping into the soft
browns of my eyes that search for you where
gravity no longer exists, the sugar maple leaves
lose their inhibitions and so do I-in my dreams
where the mist rolls in from the lip of a Star,
gently tumbling Eternity in the many sensational
perceptions that I perceive filtering through
my Autumn-hushed eyelids, recollections of
when we ran together, our lips primed with the
indelicate kiss of the Flame we dared to touch.

Our memory stash we bronzed before we imploded
like a pile of combustible leaves, smoke signals
filled the lungs of our souls, we tried to wade
through its sighs and storms...polishing clean
our shadows again...but an epilogue of our final
chapter trailed behind us, pulling us together
again when apart we should have remained, like
a fish that couldn't resist the friendly bait
dangling before her-so was I drawn back to you
and the broken departure I attempted to complete,
but my bedroom window kept yawning wide to these
dreams of you and the Autumn when I broke inside,
I keep closing her again so my scattered pieces
I can find...but until then these recollections
are still my illicit compensation.

Sooo darned beautiful, Jewel! :heart:  I just discovered this in Kay-March's journal entry/questionnaire...  "My bedroom window kept yawning wide"...Wow, I would not have thought of a line like that in a million years... I hope some of your talent will rub off on me.  Simply beautiful!
