Autumn Love Poem by GREENWOLFE 1962

Autumn Love

Rating: 5.0


I met her in the autumn;
When such are found, you know.
She said, 'In all her glory.'
Though joking, oh how so!

So true, I did inform her.
But then, to no surprise.
Such things are never certain
In autumn's paradise.

An autumn love, so firmly,
May grasp a loving heart;
It still may seem together,
Though broken from the start.

Through autumn, when it found me.
Through winter's frozen years.
Such love alive in springtime,
Brings forth a rain of tears.

That's why the loves of autumn
Display a special trait.
The heartbreak, comes much sooner.
The love ends, much too late.

For young love, it's more tragic.
Although it's torn apart,
The yearning never ceases
Around a virgin heart.

So when the tears of springtime
Give way and summer looms;
The autumn love, once tempting,
Ignores the soul it dooms.

And then, the autumn comes again
For young loves one and all.
Changing then, its name once more,
From autumn to the fall.

amazing greenwolfe you've left me quite speechless i daresay it was an amazing peace and the rhythm and rhyme styling you spoke of in your biography has drawn me to it, it canter has a almost seductive sense to it or at least it did to me Timothy Weiermann

“So when the tears of springtime Give way and summer looms The autumn love, once tempting Ignores the soul it dooms”. sometimes seems that feeelings have no feelings, they don't care what them can do with us... brilliant piece.

Such beauty within your words. I love the title and your words and imagery always a delightful endeavor. Autumn Love, amongst the beauty of the leaves and the slight breeze, kisses so alive and fresh. Magnificent work.
