autumn memories

timid waves inching forward

as we fell in love
◦
shy beginnings of  our lust

tender kisses on the beach

ϿϾ

water on warm sand

cool air around fervant need
◦
our desire building

summer’s exit unnoticed

love’s flames all that we could see

ϿϾ

walking hand-in-hand

in the sunset of  our lives
◦
autumn memories

wishing we could turn back time

start the journey once again

this is my attempt at  Man’yoshu Japanese Poetry  ~  Somon:  mutual exchanges of love or longing poetry;  tanka:  (5-7-5-7-7)   i wrote this as a love song between a man and a woman  { though it would apply to any couple,  no matter their gender }  the lines in italics are her speaking and the plain text lines are him speaking
