When Eyes Close

The following poem is a personal one, a memory from decades ago about a specific person and time in my life.  It's a memory I cherish so having so many people find the emotion and impact in the lines was quite a blessing to me.  That it made POTD is something I embrace with a great deal of appreciation and gratitude.



Close my eyes ~
	I’m on that mountain
	lush with Autumn taste.

Close my eyes ~
	We are love entwined
	in crisp fall leafed lace.

Close my eyes ~
	Lips of first perfect kiss,
	once more bliss moist my lips

Close my eyes ~
	We are young again,
	connecting eyes, souls and skin

Close my eyes ~
	Sharply, my satin-sad edged truths
        wonder if autumn ever takes you … too …                                                

Close your eyes ~
	Kiss me with eager touch.  As fire’s savior,
	thrill to shivers in dew soft, mountain air.
	Caress-wrapped, we lay in misty vapor
	from dusk’s bursting promise of brazen flush
	until dawn’s fresh sonnet on takings rush.

Close your eyes ~
	Grasp our hearts of innocent stares
		watching how teenage summer dies
                     when feelings are autumn implied
