Crimson Pallet Of Autumn-Red Love Poem by Christine K. Trease

Autumn-burnt with golden veins
Accented embers, Burnished tattoos
Bronzed colors of smoldering breath
Gazing beneath the greenest of blues

Drink to the day, Metallic gray
Remembering innocent passion
Gingerly blush, Sealed with a hush
Thoughts of this bold fashion

Leaves laugh in the shade, Memories made
Intensely awaiting the fall
Wine-kissed lips, thoughts let slip
Hoping to rend us all

Stifled with glade, Plans that we've made
Touched by the morning dew
Anxiously waiting, Love-words translating
I began to inhale and fall breath found you
