Like Leafs falling from a Tree

Leaves once lush in green now falling brown and dry
Like snow flakes fill the sky  
The air filled with moistures mist
It reminds me on that day we kissed
Laughter is, what I remember
Your arms around me, I surrender
Once you were my friend my lover
Now there is noting left for you to offer

There were days when time was meaningless
A smile, a noteā€¦ found in each others bless
The sun once our guiding star, so high aloft
I recall your skin, it felt so soft
Our love once so mighty
Like stars at night gloom full and brightly
They now have lost their flickering gleam
Drowned in sorrows, why is live so mean

The feeling now a sacred thought
The empty room feels cold and odd
A picture forms before my eyes
You are gone, I begin to realize
Your smile in memories is what I see
Why did you had to go and leave me
Like leafs that falling from a tree



The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Oh, Helmut~
How wonderful to see you -
but how sad your write.

Sending hugs to you and letting you know
that you've been missed more than you could imagine.

Sweet, sweet poet ...
it's so very good to have you drop in.
Hope you have the opportunity to do so more often.
Love you, my friend.

"If I whisper, will you listen?" I always do, you know that. Thank you for your sweet whispered reply. I miss you all so very much, but work and life is taking a toll on me right now. I wish I had more time to relax, reply to other poetry.
Hugs to you

I sure do too, and thank you for your kind words. I am not gone, just occupied. I sure appreciate you reading my poem.

Rosemary
You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Poetry is written to be read not to make one cry, but it's sure nice to know one is touched.
Hugs to you too

RainbowGirl
I will let you know when spring like feeling rock my soul
For now, to thank you sweetly is my goal
I hope you're fine and life is well
While I sit here enjoy the Hugs, can yoiu tell
HUGS to U 2
