He Passes By

He passes by,

Sigh,

Brown, yellowy hair,

Jigjag outlines like fallen leaves

Adorn his clothes,

In his eyes autumn blue skies shine,

Tussled hair brushes his face from the wind

And he makes me smile.

 

He passes by,

A smile on his face,

A ruby red stripe on purple bluish cheeks,

Ebony brown hair and pale blue eyes like the winter sun.

He holds his hands to his face,

Breathing the breathe of life into them,

And he makes me warm.

 

He passes by,

Thistle green eyes and bruising body,

Coiled like a spring day, come undone, sprung.

Like the fresh flowers along the lane

And adorn the hedges.

And he makes me love.

 

He passes by,

He smiles at me,

I sit there in the summer sun,

All these years I have loved him,

But Time passes on.

 

Oh Son of Time,

You are so youthfully beautiful,

But how quickly yet gracefully,

You grow old.
