the sun king [reprise]

by Joseff Marat

Crisp leaves in the grass
my breath shoots out in front of me
to match the morning fog upon the fields

The moon is never gone
even in the light of day
to the sword of fall the summer solstice yeilds

Whilst we mourn the golden valleys
he slowly melts the icey creek
and the frost bitten branches smile

The passion of the Sun King lingers
as he kisses his maiden months goodbye
he returns to warm my face in denile

Even though he may be king
he must bow to Lady Winter
and beg for another spring.

to the sword of fall the summer solstice yields...melts the icy creek...warm my face in denial. the ones in italics are the ones misspelled. other than, i think this is a great beginning. you've got a unique tone.
