Turn out the lights

Turn out the lights Honey let’s make believe it’s still summer, and we’re lying in the sun Even though we’re snuggled under blankets cause it’s barely thirty-one Degrees Let’s have a lemonade, maybe a picnic whatever activity you choose Careful not to look out the window or you’ll see the tree’s loose Their leaves Sooner or later, I suppose we will have to come to grips Walking the doggies outside watching steam rising off of your lips In the air Frost is painted on the rooftops like Rorschach designs Baby grabs a blanket, smiles, and waves me over as she reclines We share A long night in the fall, a crispness moving in across the city Those warm nights with the windows wide open gone. Pity We sigh Enveloped in a warm embrace, thoughts of a summer kiss Relishing the lengthy nights, we frolic in glorious bliss Ooh my We love those warm summer days But we also love keeping each other warm on cold winter nights Seasons change but true love stays Come kiss me babe, lets snuggle up tight while I turn out the lights Tim Windisch 10/12/2023
