It's Autumn again
Yet another Autumn day with being that last leaf on the tree
Once full of love with my vibrancy blowing in the wind
Strong viable stem that hold tight to the branches on the tree trunk
Many leaves have blown by me but most stunk
Some stuck on me, brushed against me as they flown in the wind
Branches have let go of their stems
But Not before imprinting on me
Weighing on me
Why this feels so heavy
Is it just me?
The colors have changed and now me desires a We
Yet some just left a stain on me
Yelling and not appreciative of me
Trying to mess up the pretty on me-- For
A leaf not even looking as pretty as me
I am relieved
Though left with some anxiety
Please don't have any pity-
Party...
Let's celebrate my tree and the changes that Be
Learning to love the new look on or in me
Taking control over my position when the wind blows
Stem still strong hold on bending branch that is closer to the ground
But I'm still hanging around
Swaying in the wind every season
Changing colors but never fall
Growing colder to love but never frozen
Summer always comes glistening
Can I soak up your sun?
My melanin needs Vitamin D
Long rays to penatrate each curvy line
A leaf to blow next to mine
A spinal link would be so divine
A gust of wind to purposefully flow
Have him adhere to cross contaminate
Glued to my ora
A leaf no longer moving free
No more F's to give
Two leaves in plural form
Ignoring society norms
Jus our God within us and, of course
Our poems
It's been a long falling in love kinda day
But we're finally home
Comfortably me
Yet today still feeling lonely
Watching the wind will blow past me
