Part 1
______

September is not kind
Barging in  
Brash and bold
RED, RED, RED  

Leaves  
Falling fires
Taking everything
Unapologetically

Ashes
Shattered souls
dark, dark, dark  

That which is truly lost
Can never be found
Again

September is never kind


Part 2
______

September on my mind,
Colors tangled in my hair.
Should’ve made it through,
But time moves on
Without you.

And it'll never be quite right—

September love,
Delicate, fleeting, pure,
Colors rushing through our veins.
A gentle reminder of passing time—
Devastation

And nothing will ever be the same.

September fading,
Resilience endures—
The beauty of your memory
As colors fade in the fall.

September exists—
Without you.

September always ends the same-

Leaving us
Devastated.


Part 3
______

Promise
You won't leave
When
September
Comes
Knocking

Promise
And I'll do the same


Part 4
______

I don’t need to know the language
Or the intricate details
To know the pain—
It's passed down
Through the bone

When life serves burned bread;
Savor the flavors of Turkish Delight

Like sitting with a couple of good friends
A cup of coffee
A bit of chocolate
A few tears
And a lot of laughs

In September
When life serves burned bread;
Savor the flavors of Turkish Delight
