To Fall Poem by Nicco Muegge

the fire dances in your eyes;
your teeth shine brilliance on me.

your fingers slowly lock between mine
as i feel your pulse between them.

our heartbeats synchronize and sing aloud
as we look to see if anyone is listening.
but we are alone.

the frost in your breath fills my lungs
and the sweetness of your aroma
warms my lips.

i reach my hand to your face
to feel your ice cold cheek.

love travels through the glances by the fire,
through the autumn air that shares our mouths,
and through the touch of our words.
