 ~* Goodbye My Autumn Love *~My love is like a fragile leaf, Where it will land I do not know. Thoughts flutter in the autumn breeze, telling my heart to let you go. I hide here in this solitude my heart hanging by a thread. I imagine I hear you calling me but again, it’s all in my head. I long for you to kiss me It’s for your lips I yearn. Searing inside my heart is an ember and only you can make it burn. I long for you to whisper those words I hold so dear. Stitch my heart back up again and dissipate this fear. I cannot breathe without you The flame now dies inside. My love for you is drowning In all these tears I’ve cried. And like the autumn leaves, You circle around my heart, but you had not intentions, of commitment from the start. So as the leaves around me fall, I’d hold you close if only I could, but in my heart, I know you must go so I say goodbye to you for good. art: Dreams of Autumn - Lee Bogle midi: Autumn Leaves ~Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self~ Cyril Connolly |

Sunshine, Sunshinemist, and Enchantress ~ Autumn Leaves was on my stereo by Nat King Cole, and I too always think that is one of the sadest songs I have ever heard, so ran to write something to put it on the background. I am glad you enjoyed this one, and thank you. ~Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self~ Cyril Connolly |

If only the pains of life we could avoid. Such well expressed sadness. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully it was as healing as it was well done. Larry C Sin isn't fair, but God got even, grace isn't fair either. larry c |

A Whisper's Caress, and James Michael - so glad you enjoyed this one. Larry C ~ If we had no sadness we would never know what real joy was I think. I am glad you enjoyed this one, but it is just a poem about someone, anyone. Thank you for reading it. |
