Here, beneath the autumn sky
I wonder where your beauty lies;
in your eyes or in your hair,
or in your slender body, where
your elven contours vie with ease
the fairy lacework of the leaves.
Their topaz, copper or rubine
eclipse not lakes of tourmaline
that are your eyes – and fair
indeed, beyond compare,
the leaf of gold to match your hair.

Thank you, Jacydo. These two poems were written many years ago, before Autumn or Winter came along with its touch. The photo I will look at time and time again.
