Autumn,  you stunning creature.
With your cold fingers
that play over my bare arms and
collide and tangle across my
stomach
as you embrace me
like a long lost lover.
You,
nuzzling into my neck
as you wrap around me,
warming my back with your sun
while your breeze steals the heat
from my fingertips.

Autumn,  you complex creature.
Your power struggle with Summer
for my affections
causes her tears to fall
and litter the pavement
every time your voice whispers
through the trees.
Inspired by my walk home from campus in autumn while watching the leaves fall from the trees like tears over the summer that's passed.
