Why now that winter is coming
Do you now write me a letter
Not that it makes me feel better
To say just why we had to part
Knowing that it would break my heart
Four years have you been my lover
Now I am lost, you have another
Cold as ice; No it is far worse!
Gone those eyes sparkling in the night
Gone your kisses beyond delight
Will I ever see you again?
Losing you is such awful pain
How can I start another life?
T'was you I wanted for a wife
Dark is my mood and dark the skies
Sun leaves earlier every day
Leaves have fallen, birds flown away
Winter winds howl with a cold rage
As my life turns another page
Was it really your lips I kissed
All in November's soaking mist

so many contrasts here with the analogy of the late season, the four years past and the finality of the ending
ReplyDeleteThe closing stanza especially is beautiful and left me absolutely breathless💞 Thank you so much for writing to the prompt, Robin 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this poem. It's a good write!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, and peppered with sadness.
ReplyDeleteYou really caught the dark mood of end and November... loved the rhymes
ReplyDeleteSad and quite November-ish. Lovely last stanza.
ReplyDeleteThe desolation is thick, the loss... just like November, moving coldly and darkly towards winter.
ReplyDeleteOh, how November can haunt. A season ends and we must live on.
ReplyDeleteThis hits on the mood perfectly...
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauty, Robin! Captured perfectly.
