Fall
The ache of you/ still falls on me,
Comes regularly like seasons
And always, it finds me-
In ten thousands shades of winter
So many things/
my fault
I know
These things that keep us apart
But this distance it breeds
an aching need
Like a slow pain
Through my heart
Last night I was remembering
Those days before our cold war
Love, then....
So alive and crisp
in the autumn leaves
discovering your philosophies..
for simply knowing...
Knowing you
was a natural gift
But human nature has her memory-
when every season
feeds upon the past
When hearts remain unforgiving
Love falls......
like seasons-
never meant to last
And when spring merely greets
with one lonely strain of light
dreaming through a weeping willow
I'll know why the branches-
hide from sight
Love fades like paper
turning yellow
