Aug 2014
as the leaves fell
from the autumn boughs
he recalled to mind
their wedding vows
the golden maple hues
reminded him of her wedding ring
it stood for something lasting
yet their love died
in the cooling wind's chill
which was for him
a most bitter pill
the brown colors of November
tumbled into his heart
for his once loving wife
did depart
his eyes filled with tears
as the skies
clouded in grey
their betrothal of love
on the autumn boughs
drifted away
