Autumn Alone
The oak leaf changes to scarlet
and the golden maple leaves tumble down
Softly joining the others in the frosted field.
I remember autumn when you were here,
the peace, the joy of your presence,
The warmth in the growing cold.
From long ago, come memories,
Not of joyful autumns or your touch,
of your hair thrashing in the wind,
but of those seasons –
of this season-
when the world and I saw autumn-alone.

Lost
Lost forever, to its place-
gone the memory, gone the face.
Lost until that lonely wind
blows your soul my way-again.
Horse dung and Apples
Autumn scents of horse dung and apples,
remind me somehow, of my world, my life.
Days of pain or fireside memories
I’m not allowed to speak of or remember.
Wasted dreams, lost years, hot tears
flood my soul, drowning hope, loosing faith.
Horse dung and apples – rotting.
replenishing the soil for the future,
but not for me.
