Another September comes
Shorter days
Red setting suns


Where would I be
without your spurious memory?
Anticipating another October wind?
Awaiting the fall,
without your essence
captivating my senses?


Shall I dance with the ghost
of yesterdays past?
Or forget a love that
seems will forever last?
Engrained in the stars
Carved in the scars
The blood flowing...like a river of tears


The tree of life
will sway in the breeze
Several prayers still to be whispered
will come from the knees
And perhaps one day
We'll find a way
To forget...the unforgettable
End to the end...when...the last leaf falls

This is very effective. It feels like a whisper of sadness, a mist of regret. Well done.
