Come the Fall

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Winters' suitors never earned
cozen for their sacrifice
Love accepted, not returned,
frozen trophies kept on ice

Counterparts once jailed are freed,
gone to fairer girls of spring
Hearts disposed now those I need
So begins my reckoning

Puerile Moon rules Scorpio
fools of summer disenthrall,
swooning cools to vertigo

Who will love me come the fall?

Those 'fairer girls of spring' can't hold a candle to the bohemian beauties of Fall - this is so plaintive, really struck a cord with me ~
