Autumn Love Letter


Well I've thought about you too,

   and I will think of you more and again.

Your lovely voice echoes in my mind

   and I want to see your rosy lips speak,

       as I gaze into your sparkling eyes.

I thought of you in your private hours

   and wish I had been with you last night.

Lets make up for the loss of time soon.

Sometimes we miss opportunities

   but I do not want to ever again miss

       any chance to see you.

Oh I dream of your lovely fair skin

   and how smooth you must feel.

I imagine how you tingle when touched.

I want to never forget your presence,

   and my wish is like a little fire

       aglow in an inner desire.

Yesterday we met and I touched your day;

   today you will think of me again,

      for I return like a gentle breeze.

    like the cool autumn breeze.

I want to find you in the night,

   to caress you, to touch your hair,

      to make you feel me close as the air.

Your feminine form is to me

    like a ripe apple tree, and I

      want to come close,

          seeking sweet fruit.

Come share the fruit,

   sigh in the fullness of the season.

In whatever time there be,

   let me near and feel me shake you
