Just a few quick ideas I played with today on a walk:
Ode to Autumn
Even the fields have forgotten spring,
Save the birds that peck out the last breath of green
Leaving a sheet of brown, crumbly amnesia.
Those tall trees wave farewell to what was
Whilst their sisters say goodbye to the leaves
Who in turn cry out the past in a rainbow of golden hues.
There is a silence now the songs have gone
And all that’s left is a crackling under feet
Which strolls along to a melancholy rhythm
What was lost when the fields were stripped bare
Except their dignity and a crop of memories
Which fast faded through the soil
The nights begin to soak up the days
Thirsty for a taste of change
They sleep and wait, they sleep and wait, they sleep and wait.
Two Lovers
Where are those two lovers now
No longer on the Urn but in it
When loves forlorn, a creature foul
When was love not enough
To save them from time
And stuff and stuff and stuff
Wingless Cupid
Crow stole Cupids wings and went on a package holiday
Leaving love lost up in the sky.
A bitter little child stalked the ground by night and day
The wingless child searched for exits via dusk
Dropping apples and moments on his way.
Behind him gravity unfurled its tragic seaman
A kiss
Adonis just wanted a kiss, nothing more
Yet in that kiss Icarus’ spirit waited.
But Venus’ sensuous flesh he did adore
And thus his downfall was created.
