Chili

Love and time caught this little bug,
bursting brightly, her smile caught light,
able as the sun, easy and innocent,
intriguingly the one who served lookout,
unsullied upon a toadstool, at home,
given my chance I'd give her my past,
given her speed, I hold swayed by this jewel,
if minutes of treasures see us conflicting,
we'll pause another second for what love amends.

as sweaty work bright shining tear up our eyes,
she finds the spot where I once travelled,
fortunate charm all gifted and well timed,
I'm thankful to pictures, memories in frames,
Unconscious September sees October things.
