Head over Heels

Like the last leaf of autumn, 

Holding to its branch,

I cling ardently to you. 

As sure as the seasons change,

The breath of winter in the air,

It floats silently to the ground.

And I fall...

Looking into your eyes,

The pigments of gold flecks,

Wading in pools of jade,

I stand at the edge,

Wanting to swim in their depth,

To feel their waves crash around me,

And I fall...

Your outstretched arms always catch,

I'm forever caught up in you,

Head over heels,

More and more,

In love,

And I fall...

Something Old, Something New

The way the light catches your eyes. 

And a freckle I missed before.

Your hair waves more to the left today.

The sharpness of your jaw & cheeks.

A hard line blends into the curve of your smile. 

The way your muscles contract & bend. 

All the tones and variations of your laugh. 

A dimple and a wrinkle here. 

Noticing each expression on your face. 

And how your hand fits in mine. 

Ever say is new, but I've been here before. 

A déjà vu daydream with no end.

Waking up to the reality of you. 

Not forgetting, but remembering again.
