Tonight I shall dream of an autumn encounter
Holding my head oh so high to the sky
Finding the north holds my one true desire
Realizing days do not end with good bye

Maple leaves fall in affectionate patterns
Seasoned devotion now scenting the air
Passions are stored in a southern collection
Numbered in order of all that we share

For in my mind I imagine horizons
Borderline longings our footprints will trace
Oceans of fresh water rippled sensations
Plaid flannel shirts that are worn in this place

Poetic pleasures to breathe in her writing
Softly they whisper, caressing my skin
Long in between yet so worth the time waiting
Closing my eyes hoping words will begin

Here now I stand all alone in this moment
Finding the glow of your smile on a star
Feeling your touch in a moon beam of quivers
Knowing this dream is wherever you are

Counting the days as the nights become shorter
Riding a cloud in the heavens above
Daring our hearts to be those we can capture
Lost in this realm that is known as our love

Sunrise wishes and morning kisses
in pastel ribbons horizon’s gleam
Morning glories and breakfast stories,
my day with you starts a perfect dream

Dawning shimmers in dew drop glimmers
as bluebirds whistle on yawning skies
Cooler breezes as autumn teases
in colors tinted upon your eyes

Holding hands while we make our plans
your smile takes all my cares away
As our love I am thinking of
to share with you this September day

.

Until the day my death does come,
I breathe my final breathless sigh
My love for you it shall endure,
for all and every reason why
For on this earth I live my life
with spoken words forever true
To bring such joy into your heart,
my love it holds for only you

Till moons above do cease their light
and stars aloft no longer shine
I stand with you my precious love
until the end of borrowed time
When oceans dry and arid scenes
along the shores a sign shall be
The emptiness that others feel
shall never come and enter me

If darkness falls, within my heart,
will shine an ever glowing light
So you will not fear anything
as my sweet love shall hold you tight
No harm, I swear to touch your limbs,
for here I stand in guarded prayer
Protecting you from lost accord
and evil that does soundly bear

A journey long of timeless day
as every morning sun does rise
The beauty that my soul does need
is found so deep within your eyes
As nothing else does matter
in the moments that we both do live
My love shall reign eternal
counting every ounce to you I give

And when the moments shadow
with their quaking hands of empty reach
I’ll climb upon the mountain
and unto their ears my words will preach
My voice a bellowed echo
as the darkened masses have their way
While in this final breath I breathe
I swear to you, to them I say

*“So bring upon your demons
and your angels as they wage their war
To take my soul to places
as the time has come to pay my score
And I shall stand unwaivered
as my promise on this day I cry
This love I have for her shall live
beyond the gates of which I die”

Following a moonbeam
glowing brightly in the sky
Strolling down a pathway
as we watch a firefly

Listening to a melody
sung sweetly on the breeze
All alone this evening
underneath the maple trees

Hand in hand we wander
on this perfect summer night
Dreaming of tomorrows
filled with everything that’s right

Pausing in the shadows
where we share a tender kiss
All alone this evening
in a moment just like this

Gazing on the beauty
that my eyes have come to see
Lingering my vision
when your smile is close to me

Standing in a clearing
counting every star above
All alone this evening
just the two of us in love

A bloom is not forgotten for its fragrance lingers on
Captured in the morning dew that plays upon the lawn
Delicate the petals when no longer we do find
Still its beauty follows us forever in our mind

The melodies of nightingales within the trees do sing
Until the time they wander off, the wind beneath their wings
When off into the distance finds these birds no longer near
Still their song it plays its tune that we shall always hear

On the beach we build a castle very tall and fine
Made of tiny grains of sand this summer day we find
And even when the tide does wash away our grand surprise
Still we find the magic it did play upon our eyes

When the sun is setting out along the western shore
The warmth upon our skin we felt, we come to want once more
Now as the darkness falls and this new day does turn to night
Still we can remember that the sun was shining bright

As we turn the pages in the brand new book we read
Every new found place into our minds we slowly feed
Coming to the last page and “The End” the words do say
Still we find the story it shall never go away

A bloom is not forgotten for its fragrance lingers on
Captured in the morning dew that plays upon the lawn
But like its beauty this I see when you come into view
I can’t forget a blossom that’s as perfect as are you
