Turn out the
lights
Honey let’s
make believe it’s still summer, and we’re lying in the sun
Even though
we’re snuggled under blankets cause it’s barely thirty-one
Degrees
Let’s have a
lemonade, maybe a picnic whatever activity you choose
Careful not
to look out the window or you’ll see the tree’s loose
Their leaves
Sooner or later,
I suppose we will have to come to grips
Walking the
doggies outside watching steam rising off of your lips
In the air
Frost is
painted on the rooftops like Rorschach designs
Baby grabs a
blanket, smiles, and waves me over as she reclines We share
A long night
in the fall, a crispness moving in across the city
Those warm
nights with the windows wide open gone. Pity
We sigh
Enveloped in
a warm embrace, thoughts of a summer kiss
Relishing
the lengthy nights, we frolic in glorious bliss
Ooh my
We love
those warm summer days
But we also
love keeping each other warm on cold winter nights
Seasons
change but true love stays
Come kiss me
babe, lets snuggle up tight while I turn out the lights
