"Among the colored leaves of yesterday"
The stars twinkle from the heavens above, Casting their silvery light upon our intertwined forms. A soft breeze brings the scent of autumn, As we lay among the colored leaves of yesterday. Twilight breaks the swirling colors of dusk, And the sun's fiery rays fade into the horizon. Day gives way to the everlasting night, As the moon begins her ascent into the heavens, We whisper pledges of love into each other's attentive ear. Your kiss so passionate, your alabaster skin so soft, I swear to the heavens above that I don't deserve such love. The love you give me, the love you create for me. Why have you chosen me, a tattered soul? These questions echo inside my wanderlust struck mind, Only to be vanquished by your gentle caress. As we shared our passion under a canopy of stars, Your breast rises as I bring my lips to yours, Setting my unbridled passion free for the first time. Had I ever known true love in the past remains a mystery, But you, my love, opened my eyes and my heart. As we lay among the colored leaves of yesterday. You take my breath away as our fiery passion consumes us, And we become one heart, one mind, one body, one soul... Our legacy of love has just begun, And I know it will last forever... Your very words reflect the simplest of truths, Yet they are words that have never graced my life before. With such compassion and devotion in your trembling voice, You whisper "I love you" and I fade away. My soul now knows peace, just because of your existence. The stars blaze brilliantly as we share our love and dreams, Watching us from high above. Our love is the only thing that matters. As we lay among the colored leaves of yesterday. The past fades away among the leaves, Only to be forgotten as our love blooms. A past of darkness I leave behind, A present of new beginnings I embrace, A future of happiness you create. We hold onto each other, never letting go. As I gently caress your cheek, wiping away your tears of joy, In that moment, I promise to love you forever. A promise I will never forget or break, Because without you I can not live, You complete my soul and hold the key to my heart, Forever I pledge my love to you, As we lay among the colored leaves of yesterday…
