It was an autumn day shaded with myriad colors of crimson, auburn and amber…

We both sat mesmerized by the hues of nature,

Words of endearment held back within our pursed lips,

Our fervent minds sat in quietude,

trying to pick the right moment 

to reveal the secrets of the heart.

And then the twirling leaves set our young hearts in motion…

Fiery waves of passion ebbed and flowed,

Your eyes met mine exchanging words so many,

All the secrets that remained hidden under layers deep

Were understood and reciprocated by my throbbing heart,

Into your loving arms I surrendered,

Never wanting to be apart.

That is the sweet story of our nascent love, 

spiced by the shades of vibrant fall.
