Autumn's FireA Poem by Audrey HowittA poem about reawakening loveI view you not gentle soul. You hide amidst the tall green rushes Evading my line of sight.
Press your pale countenance, Cool, upon my as yet fevered brow And fill this evening’s gloom With the glitter of dusky fragrance That I may recall the lightness Of an unencumbered morning.
Whisper again to me in verses of Amber hue the words of sweet love’s lessons long gone from this heart rent in two.
Mend this mind with the shimmer of vibratoed tones Sweet upon the ear, Honeyed upon your breath.
Touch my breast with fingertips enlivened With the art of Eros-- That this forgotten body May recall again The frequency of the formant Of fire’s fondness within it.
Amen to the heart which bestows such a gift. © 2011 Audrey HowittReviews
