Autumn

Reveries of a new season...

Autumn                   by Sami Khalil

Aswim in my thoughts,

dew-laden through glass windows,

doors latching on times past,

umbrage enfolding with wider arms,

I drifted to welcome Autumn,

encroaching enclosed palisades,

with yearning aubades,

with breezes abrading

lifeless wood or burnished metal cages,

of arrayed cattle trades.

Autumn! Collage of colours,

gifting the weary trees,

in likeness of animation.

Aswim, holding on to dreary eyes,

before the year fades into oblivion,

into the vast ocean’s saturation,

the quilted meadows

showed off their regal durum and rye.

Aswim in my thoughts,

fogs of nostalgia crossed

the plains of my reveries,

daubed on a solemn face,

across the gilded shores of my emotions,

curtains of rain hurried to wash them over,

for the seasonal and the timeless have to

await their slotted times,

while we linger for a time and all time,

delicately entwined by clime.

Aswim in my thoughts,

I saw the blazed rays of amber verses,

more than adumbrated by the meager sun,

the pulled-up hearses.

You did autumn well King Sami. Such a season of death, rebirth, the colours all written in your unique style.

[Sami Khalil]

Howdy do Emperor Andrew Mitchel. How are you? Hope all is well in your kingdom. Thank you kindly for the visit and time.

dearest Sami… when Autumn appears… it is a time for burning Incense… to remember the Beauty in becoming colorful and sentimental. The nostalgia of rose/orange Pumpkins and Chrysanthemums that are Ageless reminders of Thanksgiving… finding Peace and Love and true devotion. tenderly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! So beautiful and well said. I can't agree more. Thank you greatly ☺ Patricia Wedel. I hope you are staying warm in beautiful Virginia.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... it is Chilly here... some Sunshine and misty rain... gives the Pumpkins a glow. We went to an International Pumpkin Festival at Belvedere here in Fredericksburg, Virginia near the Rappahannock River. Lots of people from India. A few fields of Pumpkins to Choose your own. The children loved the Beautiful day of jumping in the Hay. Be blessed always, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Amazing dance of words Sami.

You write beautiful poetry Sami. Your choice of language and your imagery in this poem are much admired. So much autumn colour here.

Aswim in my thoughts, loved the repetition and how well that line weaves into the whole fabric of the poem.

Excellent work dear poet. Truly excellent.
