September Poem. (Completed & with picture).
She loved me
and in September
She wore the curling leaves in her hair
As we walked by
the mist hued waters
Where geese with clipped wings dipped their beaks for bread
and later
in the park she held me
while the red moon rose while buzzed the night crazed gnats
and great boughs
dropped noon ripe apples
Into our open palms
Then quietly
Hands clasped
we drifted
Towards the dying embers of the sun
Out through white gates
into a city
Where hi tech threads of neon lights were spun
into a flimsy tent
Out dazzling faded stars
Until autumnal
mist
Dissolved all sense of wonder - and proved our love talk
dumb
But now you smile More loving than at night
And spill a sudden clarity Into the morning light
Trevor John Karsavin Potter.
