The Fall

The Fall

The wounds that I came so close

to telling you of.

Lie beating and pulsating.

Throbbing within and without.

The chains that ensnare

came so close to being loosened.

It was as though

I could steal a night of fresh air.

They say leaves change

in the fall...

And you're not here.

No, not at all.

What a melancholy write this is! You have a unique way of expressing emotions succinctly yet intensely. When you can open up so completely to a person, it hurts when they are out of your life. Well written. Lydi**

That last stanza is so simply stated but there's so much underlying it. It's filled with so much emotion, the way great writing should be. Nice work.

[Diana]

Thank you, Michael. I can count on you to appreciate the simplicity of things...

So very sad my friend. This one touched me deeply. The last stanza though sad and heartbreaking is beautiful. So very well done my friend. I loved this little poem.

Thank you, Jack. I almost left out that last stanza...chuckles.
