The smoky smell of autumn leaves
settles inside my mind,
like a rose petal
fossilizing inside a mountain
In wintertime snowfall
blankets the blemishes
In springtime rosebuds
seed the air with hope
By summer the air
is pregnant with passion
But I fall more in love
with each autumn day,
her palette of colors
coalescing to your hazel eyes

The smoky smell of autumn leaves
settles inside my mind,
like a rose petal
fossilizing inside a mountain
In wintertime snowfall
blankets the blemishes
In springtime rosebuds
seed the air with hope
By summer the air
is pregnant with passion
But I fall more in love
with each autumn day,
her palette of colors
coalescing to your hazel eyes
