Gypsy Winds

The shadows of a smile are hidden

beneath the secrets of the moon

and the enchanting hue of passion

is still flaming with the heat of June~

 

And as the warmness of summer

disappears upon ivory skin

the blossom of once was

waits to bloom sweetly again~

 

Still, the rustling skirts of autumn leaves

peel like naked mistresses in the breeze

in the violins of the gypsy winds

surrendering to old man winter's knees.

sensual poem about the movement of seasons...nicely done...in first stanza did you mean "the shadows of a smile are hidden"?

the last stanza is luscious.

"Still, the rustling skirts of autumn leaves

peel like naked mistresses in the breeze

in the violins of the gypsy winds

surrendering to old man winters knees."
