Winter draws closer day by day, Autumn leaves are around my feet From far, is heard The screeching of a lone bird, Voicing its dismay aloud Over the advancing fall Here the moss scrawls Ugly pictures on the bark of trees Where black spiders weave their gossamer Moving, sig sag across the trees’ leprous trunks I see the yellowing leaves Torn down from their sturdy limbs Sliding down noiselessly one by one And landing on the ground With a mournful sound Acorns from the pine trees drop And swell the ground and fall to sleep Life too takes a downward spiral I feel the autumn seeping into me And my heart feels a languid grief The days of my youth Seem to fly away in a flurry Like autumn leaves whirling in the gale Reminding us, that we are not here to stay The withered leaves Which shriek and screech under my feet Recall to me the cry of martyred youth And all tenacity overthrown Like them, we too will fall and be dead to the world Wrapped in frozen silence, forgotten by all And ****** back into primal void!

Autumn Melancholy
Winter draws closer day by day, Autumn leaves are around my feet From far, is heard The screeching of a lone bird, Voicing its dismay aloud Over the advancing fall Here the moss scrawls Ugly pictures on the bark of trees Where black spiders weave their gossamer Moving, sig sag across the trees’ leprous trunks I see the yellowing leaves Torn down from their sturdy limbs Sliding down noiselessly one by one And landing on the ground With a mournful sound Acorns from the pine trees drop And swell the ground and fall to sleep Life too takes a downward spiral I feel the autumn seeping into me And my heart feels a languid grief The days of my youth Seem to fly away in a flurry Like autumn leaves whirling in the gale Reminding us, that we are not here to stay The withered leaves Which shriek and screech under my feet Recall to me the cry of martyred youth And all tenacity overthrown Like them, we too will fall and be dead to the world Wrapped in frozen silence, forgotten by all And ****** back into primal void!
