my love, we have nestled long in
the towers of the warm summer days, oblivious
to the earth's cold turning
so many nights your silken body lay against mine
making me sleepless and worshipful at your side
so many times i have tasted your proud serious kisses
that seemed to speak of anything but departure
felt your touch whuch calmed any notion of flight
now our wings flutter in the chilly october twilight
and your voice is like a note of music dying
across these cooling hills
i have loved you as only i know how to love you
and lost you without reason
what is that world on the other side
you are now turned towards?
what thought of breeze or green vista
beckons your strange wayward spirit?
will you carry my look as it gazed so adoringly
into your eyes? like i will carry yours my only love?
caged against my heart forever
