Voids of hearts
are like withered
leaves of bygone
autumns
Young saplings do
sprout in vibrant
springs, hope
takes birth in
fissures of
Earth
But the gloom of
marble tombstones
erected on scarlet
hearts forever
lingers
Tombs inscribed
on polished ruby
hearts stand like
rows of platoons
of martyred
leaves
Midst celebrations
of new battalions
the void left
by the fallen
leaves somehow
always hovers …
The emptiness in rich establishment so well described
I’m glad Shantanu, you liked it! Truly appreciate it!
My pleasure always
Beautiful

Beautiful.
This reads as if at the onproach of winter, Edgar Allan Poe sat down and wrote a love poem as he tried to remember the kind of September in a bleak December recalling past loves as summer breeze gave way to blowing autumn colours and then the love of autumns past turned out to be as dead as fallen leaves on the grass.
Hey Count, thanks for deep read. Edgar Allan Poe is my favourite poet, I’ll definitely read his poem, thanks for sharing and got your kind read. Hope you are well 🙂
I’m not doing so well this week.
I hope things are better for me by the time Christmas arrives.
I will pray for you and hope things get better this Christmas for you! Blessings
Griefs morphs and takes various forms. I loved the way you have sued different metaphors to describe it.

Love this Tanya!
Enjoying your words Tanya. I think of the heart lacking similar to how leaves thrive and then fade away. With the renewal in our hearts a new spring can once again allow the leaves to bud and thrive again; sort of like cycles in our lives and how we change with emotion. 🙂
Hey Ron thanks for the deep read , you are spot on the poem is all about cycle in our lives, old leaves fall and new ones take root but sometimes in all the celebration of births we miss those departed!
Thanks Tanya. Yes, it spoke clearly to me – like the ebb and flow of life. 🙂
Absolutely!
