Again once more the twig,
is a ledge
stories of season
cling, to the edge

A trickle of poetry
missing conceive
sprinkle of suicide
shower, of leaves

Reigning supreme
leaflets of litter
covering a bicycle,
with petals
of rust

The bough is a shiver,
branch without sleeves
stealers of sunlight
pile, of thieves

And the sea
and the sun
crawled out, to the brim
the harvest has fallen
far, from the limb

Dripping like drafts of dream
and last writes
tales of time only tears,
can recite

Pressed upon
rest upon
roots, of the birth
all of our wishes
lie
with the earth

Deep in the shadow
of soil and clay
beast of our burdens
let us,
now prey

And so the shoes
kicked through the drifts
of reds and gold
and ambers, stiff

Hands together
held, afar
only we, know
who we are

That is all
we’ll ever need
fertile hearth
and spark, of seed

Deep within
our fondness grew
that day in fall,
I fell for you

Yea that!!  

Richy,  you have so much talent and so much class!  I mean heck you can write about a heap of fallen leaves
and make it beautiful, and I feel beautiful too after reading you.  Your poems are little charms attached to my heart.

Precious poetry in motion, love the fall.   x/o
