Autumn

by Melpomene   Jun 22, 2011


She reminds me of Autumn.

Leaves flushed in the
most beautiful ways,
cherry like her heart
- sweet and sometimes
sour, gold yet
always silver.

I'd paint her as a tree
artistic in all its
nature.

Bark fraying at her heels,
foliage dancing,
branches twirled into
a protective stance.

She is the August winds,
passionate in all she touches.

The calendar month
who would knock you down,
only to show
you can get back -

the zephyr that would
whisk away your umbrella
and let your skin
embrace the rain.

This is for the many times
she sat, speaking to me
of a half eaten moon and
how Autumn brings
-a certain death-

Yet to me
she shows winter fades
into spring days and
beauty will flourish
once again.

    This is a lovely tribute to a lovely woman. Your words are... I want to say "mythical." Would that make sense? They have a sort of classic, enduring beauty. Romantic and mystical, and very fitting for this poem.
