Autumn

Autumn 

It was only recently 

As the plight of winter 

Began to recede in a tide 

Of snow and the cold 

That for me 

My heart blooms in the fall of months

Ever since I started my journey 

Of becoming a man 

I find the individuals 

That call 

To my heart 

That is in the midst of 

Preparing to hibernate 

From the winter cold 

In the hope for spring's life giving kiss. 

But as the leaves change from 

My color green 

They turn into vibrant displays 

Of the icy cold touch 

Of the yearly reaper

They appear 

The dryads that plant seeds 

Of romance

Sex 

And most of all 

Love 

Oh how I am lucky 

That the women 

Who I have shared lips 

And passion 

Have all given me strength 

And lessons 

On who and what 

I am. 

Like autumn 

These woman stay with me 

And serve as muses, 

Dancing in my memories 

Showing the good 

The bad 

And the ugly memories 

Of love

And heartbreak. 

So I now live life 

In hope for autumn 

Because as the changing leaves show 

My love could come in the next 

Falling song.
