Season of Passion

 

Autumn

the sensual season

thick and ripe with life.

~

Sun-kissed days

warm and tender.

Cool breezes on bare skin

like fingertips gently caressing.

~

Intoxicating aromas and tastes

succulent, juicy pears

warmed, spiced cider

exciting the taste buds,

begging for more.

~

Leaves changing

fiery reds, shimmering golds

passions inflamed.

~

Colors intensify

building to a climax

heady, fecund

erotic smells envelop me

~

Soon

rhythms gently slow

Mother Nature preparing,

ready to wrap the Earth

in a cooling blanket of white.
