Notes About The Poem

September

September

Month of memories
In dreams collide
With bitter sweetness
And long ago goodbyes

Old torn sweater so arcane
In the chilly mornings
He is my friend again
As we walk along fallen leaves

Airplanes high up in the sky
Used to be me who would fly
Now I gaze up at illusions that have been
As the breeze swiftly passes me by

Waters ripples
Lapping the shores
Fall comes sailing in
If only it was yesterday again

I'd say I love you
In the falling rains
As you took my umbrella
And left me with my weathered pain

September took my heart away
Without you, I had nothing left at all to say
This month of memories
When you handed back my heart

In the falling rain

I didn't see the summer this year. I am looking forward to the fall. My favourite season. Hoping all is well with you. Great writing!
