I just finished a new poem. Just another overflow of heartache: Thus, with a kiss, I died. On Autumn day an early Grey Stole from the shores of Winter’s tide And bore me far away! It brought its withering touch That hurried death and robbed the breath Of all I loved with rasping clutch, And left a mourning wreath On she who was my Spring! Whose gentle lips and fingertips To frozen fields did flowers bring. My Spring! she slowly slips Into mere memory. And as I stand on Winter’s sand I call to her across the sea, But Silence lays its hand Upon my quaking plea. A choking presses on my breast, I know that I will never see Again my Vernal rest. I hold that clinging scene Before my eyes, O precious prize! That to my Grey brings ghosts of Green And faintly lights dim skies. This, both my joy and sore: Before my Bride from me was pried She graced my lips with hers once more- Thus, with a kiss, I died. If you have any suggestions or anything, feel free to give them to me. Later, friends. |
