Autumn
Now drips the juices off a knife pierced heart
Emerged from a cocoon
Filled with pain
Your love had brought me out to the noon
Warm sun no more rain
Without you there’s no four letter word
Without you my sky is free of birds
There is no sun in my universe
There’s no need for any poetic verse
Without your love my winds don’t blow
If you’re not here then my heart doesn’t glow
Leaves only a flow of red
The sounds smells and colours of autumn in my head
As these leaves fall dead
I’m left empty
My branches stripped bare
Dead inside
Emotional writing suicide
Notes jumping into shark infested feelings
From, I walked the planks off pirate boats
Body reeling, falling but
Not for feelings
My feet planted firmly on the ceilings
Of this broken house mirrors life
Chimeny pushing smoke
Down into the soil
Spilt blood sheens crudely oil
Dripping up off the bedroom floor
This same bedroom floor
Holds albumed memories
Carefully chronicled deeds
Nights we spent planting
Trees now grow crooked
Pages turn quickly to our book ends
No star written sequel
Only heaven prequel reminiscences
Of wounded birds
It’s been forever since I’ve heard
The songs your lips play
That little way you’d say
Autumn
I'm lonely...
