Autumn Leaves

tangerine splashes scrolls in scarlet, on shriveled bosoms of muted flutters rustling in whispers of arid harmonies. molted dreams of boughs denuded of verdant skin, heaped in versicolor as confetti for whimsical draught. jaundiced wasps, crickets in rapture lost in sonorous tirade drown symphonies from spring's meads, and silence of fall echoes in mandarin songs of withered leaves strummed on keys of breeze. anecdotes of past, poured sand from hourglass, cinnamon verses of soil, and forgotten stories of love with whispered endearments of lovers are leaves gilded and bronzed in cauldrons of sunshine, falling from empty branches.
