inevitable fall

inevitable fall

 

 

burdensome autumn

he recalls her vibrancy

sees sad colors change

the hue of his view

 

clings to the tree of existence

biding his time, waiting to join her

a lone leaf lured to the ground

when winter’s breeze beckons.

i've always found it so ironic that nature shows her most beautiful colors just before everything dies.....

wonderful piece.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I love the feel of this poem, and in my eye's mind can see the last leaf of fall. Fall is a muse unto it's self.
It can take on any persona. Your play on words are full of imagery and most poetic.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words, Cherrie.

A pathos, shown through the death of the beloved.
A falling leaf is a beautiful metaphor to indicate death.
Thank you for sharing. Insight.

You are welcome.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Brilliant metaphor... When we truly love someone even death does not break the bond.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Dale....and so true what you said...my dad was with my mom for 70 years...and now that she is gone, he still talks about her all the time...his love for her will never die.

My moms parents were married for 75 years. About 4 months after my grandfather died my grandmother passed away. They ruled that she died literally of a broken heart.

Fall is in the air, the leaves are changing colour, along with our moods, and then they fall to the ground as winter approaches!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words, marcus.

There are times when I sit here and chew poetry for hours..and then there are moments like this one...my coffee poured, my thoughts hazy. I read a real piece and instantly I am full and awake. Full with life...with love...with sadness...with hope. It's beautiful!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind words, Queenie...

Seemed, you capture the season affairs in words. Liked it. Yeah, every breeze's way breezed to feel the eternity of love . . . peace . . . and beauty. And, you paint it all well in words, undisguised. Keep it up!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your kind review, Adams.
