Autumn Breeze

by N J Thornton   Sep 11, 2005


In the silent observation of the night,
the breeze back combs my hair then chases
golden autumn leaves across the grass.
Still, I remember, and you do too.
So I brought you a rose - a single yellow rose
to match the red one you brought for me.

when I found you.
Laying limp and helpless on the grass.
The moonlight bounced off the bare trees
giving a ghostly look about the place...
I remember, and I know you do too.
So, here I am, again. I had that two
piece rose pressed, so I'll always have you near.
Laying the rose, I'll break it in two;
it symbolises my heart and it will be forever yours.
Kissing the stone, I turn around.
I'm greeted by the chilly autumn breeze as
it lays a kiss on my sodden cheek,
in return.

    I'm very sorry but I didn't quite get it, although there were a few very chilly points in it, like to give me goosebumps...

    Good Writing!

    I don't want to be an idiot and pretend to understand what it means...Then give you a detailed explanation that is completely wrong. lol. However I will say that the way I took it, it was very disturbing. Not in a bad way. But more sad and kind of detached.

    This poem really made me think. In other words, it was quite intriguing. Which is one of the best qualities a poem can have in my mind.

    Thank you for sharing.
