Fallen Leaves

i wrote this for how i was feeling when i heard that someone i knew had died writing really is the only way i can convey my feelings without being misunderstood

Fallen Leaves

Fallen leaves

 

oh how they fall endlessly

waywardly ,    waywardly

they fall 

falling apart ,   falling apart

fragments drifting through the endless stream

oh the pieces

fragments,

falling  

breaking apart 

like my heart 

on the winds 

oh they drift 

carrying the pieces

and the pain held within

visions adrift 

attached to this fading wind

 fond but sorrowful memories

of  the life you held within

nourishing the endless stream

and the dreams that lied within

a spot never filled

only cold wind

so they fall endlessly

falling apart

waywardly

in the stream 

an accursed dream

when cold wind still sings and leaves never fall

so shall these tears end

on the wings of this fading wind.

A passion for haiku poetry began during world literature studies, inspired by its ability to convey profound ideas in a few syllables. Many of these haikus, capturing life's fleeting beauty, are featured in the book Blue Harlequin.

Regardless of genre, I find there is one fail-proof way to know if someone is an incredible writer and that is if they can make their emotions your emotions.
And as of yet, every piece of your writing I have read does that for me. Whether it is this sad yet very deep and mellifluous piece, or another one, I always finish your poems feeling as if the poem has become a part of me. And of course, hungering for more.
As always, beautiful job. And I am terribly sorry for your loss.

Well if I wanted an epitaph, this would definitely be it. News of death always stops us in our tracks. I suppose we're only here for a short time, so we need to make the most of it.

wow that is quite the compliment thank you so much.

Poetic Justice! Hats Off! There is always a certain kind of loss in all that is found and your poem reminds me of just that.

[TheAimlessWanderer]

there is no retribution being dealt but i can tell that it comes from good intention glad you liked the poem.

[Larry John]

such a sorrowful poem, and yet it is so lyrical. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, I hope you're doing well. This made me shiver, you're an extraordinary writer.

[TheAimlessWanderer]

Thank you for your kind concern i try to accept the feelings that come as they are and not struggle with them as i used to when i was younger and just look at the greatness that every life's story has to be shared thank you for reading this and i hope that their message of life even with sorrowful words truly shined radiantly and with benevolence.

Such sorrow. . .The image you created spoke of the loss you've felt.
Yet, the poem is beautiful on its own way.
I can actually relate to your reason of writing as a way of release and expression.
Keep writing!
