love in colors

under July blue skies

I fell in love with 

golden brown eyes

under silver stars

we shared first kisses

the pale moon watching

as brown leaves fall

our pathways diverge

warm memories fading

another Monday

another Monday

another day staring a long work week

another day dreaming of slumbering 

instead of typing long emails

I sometimes wonder if I went back in time

altering my paths if things would be different

or still lead me to the same door

love: a senryu

I once was in love

getting lost in your bright eyes

not seeing the cliff
