October enters wearing a jacket

Knit tasseled cap and rosy freckled cheeks

With harvests of plenty farmers delight

World Series, State Fairs and pumpkin delights

Hunter’s moon simpers down with gibbous cheeks

Aquilo’s sharp breath toys at your jacket

Candied trick or treats, children’s apple cheeks

Grid iron reunions, Thanksgiving delights

Homecoming Queen in letterman’s jacket

Frosty cheeks glow

Windswept leaves delight in a final dance

Before the sullen earth is shrouded

Beneath an ivoty jacket

Guest Poet CA Griffin

Private Storm
by CA Griffin
© 2011

I was in my quiet existence
Reveling in the calm from within
Then I felt the wind pickup, baby
And I knew your love storm was about to begin
I felt the slightest tremble in my legs
As my heart confirmed it was true love that I found
That’s when I saw your approach and I started to lose ground
I was swept up in the wind of your embrace so I held on fast
But as you sent a rain of sweet kisses all over me
I gave in and let go of the hurt from my past

You’ve become my private storm
Sweeping away all the debris
Removing all the wreckage I held close
Foolishly thinking that it could protect me

Ooh ooh stop right there right there.
I don’t think I’ve much longer to last
Baby you shake my walls
And make my breath come so fast
Ravage my body, seduce and take hold of my heart
It’s no use I can’t fight it my resistance is breaking apart

You’ve become my private storm
Sweeping away all the debris
Removing all the wreckage I held close
Foolishly thinking that it could protect me.

Baby if you haven’t fallen already
I’m gonna do everything to get you to do so….
And if you tell me you are feelin me too
Then I’m gonna work you deeper inside until you go…

You’ve become my private storm
Sweeping away all the debris
Removing all the wreckage I held close
Foolishly thinking that it could protect me.

Let your storm come baby bring the rain
Wash away my hurt my heart is yours to claim
Let your storm come baby bring the rain
Wash away my hurt my heart is yours to claim
