Autumn light all in your eyes

Caught your smile for the sun to rise

and your hands to warm mine to –

as we stare at the iron blue.

Lost in the sheets,

the soft smell of your skin

Takes me to our first night

when our sins would begin;

I knew you would kiss me

And I hoped you knew that too,

As I rushed to feel your lips –

My burning desire was overdue.

The warmth of your chest

And the strength of your arms

Got me wishing we would leave

Somewhere very far,

Where time doesn’t matter

Only the two of us,

Where we can leave our past

Forgotten in the dust.
