Your words 

so valuable to me 

infused with your love

like the red flowers of a torch 

it may burn 

it may damage 

it may cause harm 

but i’m unconcerned 

i consider your valuable wordings 

as beautiful as the red autumn leaves 

You —

You yourself are as beautiful as they are.

I love sinking into your capturer of sight,

with only seconds

of your eyes being captured in my sight

looking into them

instantaneously clears all feelings of solitude.

It makes me feel safe.

Happy.

Continuing the endless cycle of love 

and cherishing.

with only your gaze.

i understand such feelings may be temporary 

like the season of autumn

being overtaken by the winter season.

Instead of driving my attention to such reality

my attention is on the trees,

the trees we had during our season,

the trees that hold and know so many.

each leaf a memory,

event,

conversation,

i hold on to them.

i loved every leaf

that fell from each tree

during our season together

and miss when your season was here

with me,

when our leaves fell together.
