Gentle Autumn

[milo]

Gentle Autumn 

Come here my love and lay awhile with me,
And with your weary head upon my breast
Relax and let your thoughts drift dreamily
As you and I together take our rest.
This is our time of close companionship,
Take comfort in the warmth of my embrace
And smile, as softly with my finger tip
I trace familiar contours of your face.
I ask no more of life than tenderness,
Our youthful times of passion being spent;
But do not think my love is any less,
Or that in life today I’m not content.
We shared our Spring and Summer dearest wife;
So now the gentle Autumn of our life. 

it is sweet and well enough executed and dreadfully, dreadfully cliche.  Almost every line and sentiment feels tired and boring.  From the opener which is almost lifted word for word:

to lines like "warmth of my embrace"  which is used in songs and cliche hallmark cards alike.  http://wn.com/ryan_reyna

Referring to latter years as Autumn - sadly, cliche, cliche, cliche.

Hope this helps, thanks for posting, good luck.
