In Fall, I’m falling for you;
I try not to
but even the sky has changed its hue–
dusky, with a hint of mauve,
it’s no wonder the mind refuses
to reload.
This ache’s drawing me into its fold;
how, only the moon knows.

Love the illustration….love the imagery in these words “even the sky has changed its hue–

Oh me, oh my … a stellar bit of writing Sanaa. I sorely miss those days in my life when romance was entrancing, exhilarating and simply always “there.” Keep your youthful outlook, stay young in mind, in body.
