Poetry: Like A Falling Leaf

You are like a falling leaf

Time comes that your strength subsides

Now and then while near the edge,

Of the final round,

Body deteriorates not from a sickness,

But from its normal cycle

To diminish some energy

As a sign of years you surpass and carry

So with a leaf, behold, if it cannot suffice

The diminishing energy to cling to a twig

It slowly falls to the ground, rotten, forgotten

The once green and full of life leaf

That sways merrily in its abundance of strength

Will be carried away by wind,

Or be swept away with tiny drops of rain,

Or the blood colored flood,

To let it join to the final destiny

To the open sea…

The same processes to humans

You are strong today, but weak tomorrow

Your strength also subsides

No matter what you do

No money, no miracle can let you go back

To where yourself inherits the life

For yesterday never come back

Treasure the present for it is the source

Of your tomorrow,

Before reaching to the final ground.

 My Love For You never Dies

Though years may go

It remains fresh and abundant

It may dwell only in my dream

For there are times that you are indifferent

My love for you could see and hear your wounds

If your other love betrays you

Just call my name, my love

I will be there for you.

Should you need me to comfort your soul

Then I will fly beyond the clouds

And land into your heart

You once inflicted with too much pain

I will travel to the rainbow

 And bring back the arrow

To hit my heart again

And temporarily shut the past

To overcast the spell of my joy

Even in few seconds with you

It will be opened again

After healing your own pain

Though I find no gain

But to say goodbye again

For I no longer believe you.

      • Tears were dripping onto my dress, but I wasn't making any sound. There was no sound to express thid kind of pain.
        I didn't want to move, didn't want to do anything. Fang was not waiting for me out in the living room. Tomorrow morning, when I woke up, Fang would still be gone.

        We have seen her dancing with the autumn leaves, and we saw a drift of snow in her hair.

    • Shauni Williams, Hi? Nice meeting you here and thank you so much your appreciation. I love writing poems. I almost had written 789 poems for a matter of 2 years. It is in this way that I can exhaust my mixed feelings about life and love.

      • Most people...are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path.

        They fell, like snowflakes wiping out the noon;
        And wandered slowly thence
        For thinking of a gallant multitude
        Which now all withering lay,
        Slain by no wind of age or pestilence,
        But in their beauty strewed
        Like snowflakes falling on the Flemish clay.

    • Yes,life can easily be Blown away Just like a withered lead. Any Tiny Action will make it Drop and rot in the soil or grave wherever. Yet Love lives on. Love Persists. It Goes beyond the grave. It is the greatest gifting But Those we Love May not Love us Back and May hurt us.

      I Love your poem

    • Yes, poetry has power to raise human soul and emotions but the meaning of poetry is, poetry teaches and delights to the readers. And it is said that poets and kings are not born everyday.

      It is the best poem inspiring human thoughts, feelings and emotions while reading the whole poem representing life just like a dried or falling leaf that swims in the lake and none know where will the leaf go with power of water.

      Life is full of pain and pleasures it rests on human feelings positive and negative. Betraying in love is common in all poems but it does not so in real life just one per cent are deceived in love by the unfaithful ladylove in love and 99 per cent people write their false feelings due to immaturity in love.

      I have seen as a professional astrologer, most of the people do not know the defection of love they just take love the source of sex and nothing else.

    • That is true guys poetry is so powerful. This is the only way we can express in depth the beauty that is within our heart and mind. It inspires humans and the writer too gets the strength from the readers that share inspiring words for recognition .There is total beauty and happiness when there is love and out the feeling into writing like this poem of mine, thanks guys for the appreciation. very much applauded by me.
