Leaf

frozen leaves
                      bear the marks
                      of betrayal

                      a toss between
                      heaven and earth
                      counts down
                      an oscillated life

                      tonight
                      at my door steps
                      frayed and frozen
                      a leaf take its 
                      last breath

                      dear, forgive me

I like this hauntingly enigmatic, exquisitely formed short poem very much, Syam.

beautifully penned but such deep sad imagery:-) The final line is heartbreaking Hugs jan xx 7 xx
