how do i explain
the sunset
when she drapes herself elegant
climbing through tree limbs
still green with summer
dappling brick buildings
causing brown to change to burnt sienna
how do i explain
a solitary leaf
each vein sprawling
as arteries and veins
spreading life
throughout one being
how do i explain
the rushing wind
as she kisses my cheeks
gracing my face
as the touch of an angel
on a summer's eve
it is how one would explain a science
of chemistry and emotion
all six senses alive and acute
stirring and spinning
as Autumn leaves unberthed from their rest
it is as difficult to explain my love for you
as simple as it is
to love you.
