Loving in the colours of Autumn |
As I look at thee, my love I spy the perfect flow of colour Like a glorious day of autumn With treeβs leaves painted gold Leaves that float into the night In awe I see thy beauty Thy words sound of beauty As I speak to thee, my love Whispers echoing into night Words fill my heart with colour Moments worthy of pure gold Warmth creeps through autumn Feel that dying breeze of autumn The last butterfly shows its beauty Showering us with specks of gold As I lie with thee, my love Together we see rainbow colour Slowly turn into shadows of night That starry sky of the night Gently covered by clouds of autumn Morning grey fails to mask the colour Magical trees of purest beauty As I walk with thee, my love We smell blossoms with scents of gold Round thy feet are shades of gold Only silhouetted by the night As I dance with thee, my love In the mystical realms of autumn There is no need for fallen beauty We move as one in fields of colour As one we remark upon the colour The skies of blue and seas of gold Only with thee I share such beauty Shining even in the dead of night We shall meet again each autumn As I share my life with thee, my love Thy true love fills me with colour Those autumn days masked with gold Late at night thou show thy beauty Poetry form: Sestina (conceit) Rhyme scheme: Stanza 1: A.B.C.D.E.F.
