                       Love’s Ambling Seasons ~

               ~-🍁🍃🍁🍂🍁🌿🍁-~**~-🍁🍃🍁🍂🍁🌿🍁🍃🍁🍂🍁🌿🍁🍃🍁🌿🍁🍃🍁-~


                        Through Autumn's glory, life we strolled,

                        soft wind-chimes knew our song ...

                        sweet poems, writ 'pon leaves of gold;

                       'twas naught e'er could go wrong.


                        Each falling leaf a melody

                        that played upon two hearts ...

                        each glazing frost wrought destiny,

                        as love slowly departs.


                        When frozen limbs of Winter crack,

                        these arms ache empty, too;

                        I close sad eyes ... then, all drifts back

                        to days when dreams were true.

 

                        We sensed the paling of desire,

                        a waning of each thrill ...

                        with barely kindled sparks of fire

                        to weather Winter's chill.


                        Sweet Spring swept-in on verdant wing,

                        brought laughter in the rain ...

                        then, Summer's bliss began to sing

                        to Fall's poignant refrain.

 

                        Time was, when Summer held two hearts

                        within their youthful sway ...

                        each mem'ry dances, then departs;

                        too swiftly drifts away.


                        Tho' our love's seasons ambled by,

                        to passion's thrums un-stilled …

                        in moments, two hearts soared on high;

                        yet, ne'er alas ~ fulfilled.


                ~-🍁🍃🍁🍂🍁🌿🍁-~**~-🍁🍃🍁🍂🍁🌿🍁🍃🍁🍂🍁🌿🍁🍃🍁🌿🍁🍃🍁-~

                                                            Sadness Is ~

Nostalgic write. Takes your readers through life's seasons of content/discontent....to the present when we are aware that life goes on ...regardless! Factual write words that are so close to one's heart!

Has a 19th century sound to it, maybe Thomas Moore. Would be interesting to hear it set to music, as many of his poems were.
