Late last autumn
we fell in love again
beside the bush clover
in the garden near the lantern.
You touched a burning passion,
pulsing deep within
a facade of pinstriped emotions.
My regrets gave way
to desperate hope replacing kisses
long since dry on my lips.
We faced each other,
ignoring your fault or mine,
and saw only love and
bare inviting skin.
Late last autumn,
we fell in love again
beside the bush clover
in the garden near the lantern.
