Description
perhaps i shall meet you thereunderneath autumn trees
with leaves falling all about
the park around us
like a blanket of natural warmth.
the wind whisking your hair
to and fro; tousled sheets of satin;
resembling tousled and tangled
sheets upon the bed
we shared together.
seeking warmth from the fall,
i found myself walking in
the repose of a solitary man.
looking there for you where once you stood
no more than a heartbeat away.
i found myself searching
within the confines of a chilly evening
city streetlights and empty park benches
gazing about for some sign that
summer's heat had finally gifted us autumn
because such is where i found you
on the day we gazed into each other's eyes
with vows exchanged
and hearts forged together as one.
we met within the autumn wind.
and such is where i hope you remain
within the vows; within the blanket
of chilly nights and temperate days.
within the twisted sheets of satin
spread across my bed again.

It's a beautiful poem. I can see the images the poem gives in my head to. I like that a lot. Fantastic as many of your others are, Peter. I'll continue reading on.

Thank you, Rachael. I was quite surprised so many have liked this work in particular. I was very uncertain of it.
However, isn't this how it always goes with us creative types?

You wouldn't know him, but that would be his immediate response after reading this. I thought it appropriate - excellent as always.

There are a lot of lines in here that really would make great short poems. But as a longer poem, it actually DID hold my interest! (I know, shocking). There are a lot of gems in it, I really appreciate integrating nature with mood in poetry.

Am late in responding, but I had to say both:
Thank you
- and -
I appreciate the favorite.
I had fun playing a bit with nature. Not a normal creative expression of mine, but an enjoyable one just the same.

I love Fall... and this poem gives me yet another reason to do so.

I enjoy fall quite a bit.
And perhaps - just perhaps - by the time autumn comes around, I too shall have a reason to enjoy it even more.

But that is so far away yet... nothing good to see on a closer horizon?

No, I am afraid not.
My son's birthday is on May 7th. I shall hardly be able to help him celebrate it, though.

Perhaps a poem to help him celebrate -- and remember?

Yes, perhaps so.
I wish I had more memories to draw from. I am woefully lacking.
