Behind the mountain, beyond the azure sky unexplored passions, I've watched them die unshed tears, clouds cross a dried fountain beyond the azure sky, behind the mountain. Waiting for a someone, youth and vigour lost a fire of crimson rose, kissed by chilling frost petals now withered, damage had been done youth and vigour lost, waiting for a someone A bunch of dead leaves, sculling in breeze winter's sun, shadows murmuring in trees hollow words echo, knowing love deceives sculling in breeze, a bunch of dead leaves. 16th June 2020 Featured in the best new poem list Sponsor Joseph May Contest Name Swap The Verse
