Two Poems. (1) Missing Ivy.(2) Pathetique Sonata.(Revised).

          Missing Ivy.


Walking alone in the mountains
I think of you - so far away
Watching the cars go by.


Trevor John Karsavin Potter.
October 6th. 2020.

               2.

Pathetique Sonata.


Like Chinese poetry
This music confines sorrow
To a few black lines

Lines drawn on fine paper
By a wavering hand 


Trevor John Karsavin Potter.

Soft October Rain.

 The rain dances on my skin.

Lute strings imitate drum riffs
Tapped out on pavement and Birch trees.
Lute strings dissolving in tears
When they touch the earth.

The world is an intimate orchestra
To which we all belong,
To which we all add momentary key
                                             changes.

Lute strings - cool and delicate - dance
                                 against my skin,
Muted strings tap tapping out soft rhythms
Before the sun strikes through
                         the timpani of clouds.

There is a gentle solace in the fall of rain,
In the soft coolness of moisture on skin.
When the sun strikes through
                        harmony breaks apart.


Trevor John Karsavin Potter.
