Why compare thee to a summer’s day,
when an autumn's sunset is more fitting?
When her tender warmth brightens the grey
clouds that are too comfortable with settling?

When she is rich skies kissing cold waters gold,
a moment under her is worth the coming winter.
If autumn has a price, consider me sold,
because I offer my complete devotion to her.

Like a sunflower, I will look up in awe,
and attempt to caress her like Icarus.
I’d gracefully accept the fall,
if only to gaze once upon her radiance.

When I awaken frigid and lonely,
I will be soothed by the autumn morning.

Rain soaks our clothes, leaves us breathless and cleansed.
The lights bounce and shimmer; a thousand lights on us.
Coppery and acidic, but it doesn’t overpower the taste of you.
Drunken girls laugh into the night like gulls in the morning.

Ignore the looks; kiss me, put your lips on mine.
Smear my pink lipstick, make your pretty red stick.
Fist my sweater and pull my heart out; keep it with yours.
Tug the strands of my hair, pull me closer; don’t let the divider in.

It’s cold in the rain, so mingle our breaths
and create hot, steamy fog to keep us warm.
The lights are on us, but **** it; let’s give ’em a show.
They want the rain to drown us; let’s slow dance.

Hold my waist, reel me in like a love song.
Sip my lips like cheap beer, savour me like wine.
Bruise me like a peach; kiss it better.
Feel the wind sting our cheeks; try to blow out our flame.

Whispering in my ear, he’s looking, isn’t he?
Kissing the frown from your lips, yes, he is. Who cares?
Let the hateful ******* sneer and scorn.
I’ll still love my lover in this storm.
