Blow the bloody trees down,
leaves and all!

Sudden gale force winds spew
autumn handfuls of gold
onto barren open ground,
soaked with goodbye tears.

Your heart shield
~soft gold~
calling my name
first in love
then in shame
shame on me

protecting
   rejecting,
the ambered gift of me.

Blow the bloody trees
to the corners of the globe,
for I care not
whether trees collapse today;

this heart has done just so
with a bilious blow of words
and winter has set in
while I was still
believing
it to be
Spring.

Couldn't believe the title, dear Kacy!

I perceive this as a powerful description of a sort of black out of the heart's glow.

I feel so cold right now, this makes it easier to understand.

Love and hugs.

Thank you Margherita, for your kind reply.
I am OK now. Yes, it was a total blackout.
