A stream of light attracts me closer
Against the current, to the pane
Where in the abyss of a poster
The autumn bleeds in drops of rain
The rain plays drums upon my window
In wild passion, stormy moans
The raging wind sets sounds into
Aligned rows of nature’s notes
By which the weather plays in ardor
To which the naked branches sway
The hand of time strikes harder, harder
As seasons softly fade away


------------------
I fell in love and kept on falling

The world is a wonder
It may strike us asunder
With only a breath
And then we are all done

A little more description or a little more poem would help (Only my opinion)

If the world wanted rid of us it would only have to sneeze.
Hugo Rune (Master of Masters,Lord High Wizard of the church of the sacred sprout, The most amazing man who ever lived)

Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

ok, really like this, the images are great, just a few suggestions

the first half is perfect, wouldn't change a thing but in this part, seems your imaging is confused (to me)

The raging wind sets sounds into
Aligned rows of nature’s notes
By which the weather plays in ardor
To which the branches gently sway
The hand of time strikes harder, harder
As seasons softly fade away

the "raging" wind doesn't seem to fit with branches gently swaying and seasons softly fading, maybe try another word, "tossing" comes to mind....

then you have 2 lines that repeat
by which the...
to which the...
I think a simple changing of the second line to an "and the" would make it sound better.

good poem
