Fall Season
crisp
chilly
mornings give
way to warm days
of sunshine, leaves turn
golden, red, brown, yellow
pumpkins grow fat on the vine
mums, marigolds, amaranthus,
golden rod reach full bloom, the drink of
choice for the evening is hot chocolate
Amaranthus weeps in Summer's first burning.
Tears hang suspended from a fracturing heart.
Lost vermillion dreams leave memories churning,
scarlet seeping from the wound of Cupid's dart.
Mourning can heal and be a time of learning,
to once again partake of love's crimson art.
And yet he cannot for from Spring's first seeding
he is destined to live as Love Lies Bleeding.
7/5/17
Autumn shedding leaves
to eternity - my love
flowing back or forth
memories restored;
Amaranthus in my mind
exhibits colours
I'll be back next time -
nol-la-mara in my hand
from the southern world
