October
Beauty has a tarnished dress
And a patchwork cloak of cloth
Dipped deep in mournfulness
Striped like a moth
Wet grass where it trails
Dyes it green along the hem
She has seven silver veils
With cracked bells on them
She is tired of all these
Grey gauze, translucent lawn
The broad cloak of Herakles
Is tangled flame and fawn
Water and light are wearing thin
She has drawn above her head
The warm enormous lion skin
Rough red and gold

*for my beloved GG
I Cried for You
Songwriters: Gus Arnheim / Arthur Freed / Abe Lyman
Artist: Katie Melua
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass, the never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
I'll cross the sea for a different world
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper

*see, i always remember you, although...
Sing To Me, Autumn
Sing to me, Autumn, with the rustle of your leaves
Breathe on me your spicy scents that flow within your breeze
Dance with me, Autumn, your waltz that bends the boughs of trees
Now tell me all the secrets you've whispered to the seas
Sleep with me, Autumn, beneath your starlit skies
Let your yellow harvest moon shimmer in our eyes
Kiss me, Autumn, with your enchanting spellbound ways
That changes all you touch into crimson golden days
Love me, Autumn, and behold this love so true
That I'll be waiting faithfully each year to be with you
Patricia L. Cisco
