Evading Autumn

Those days in September…

I’ll try to remember

For times when the light will be out after noon

On short days of winter

So trying to inter

All bursts of the sunshine

And blue sky to doom…


Yet, every day differs

It’s making us sniffers

Of what is reminder of summer’s delight

And we are so eager

For dreams growing bigger

Experience passions

Been given by light!

 

Go out of your house and look in the skies!

D’you feel that the clouds are like hair that flies?

And wind like a passionate lover to peck

It throws his flows like the arms round your neck?

It whispers his love as with aching of loss

And flying through swift in a weatherly gloss…


See clouds at sunrise and sunset to blush!

As if being confused they are glowing and lush!

On dull days curls spread in the sky like on pillows…

You hear slightest rustle of her earrings-willows…

The ones of some mystical face to admire

Her beauty in mirror of waters on fire

Her flared up, scattered hairdo to wave

Already undone and uneasy to save!

They, pitiless, flying away taking charm

And tearing apart caring heart with its harm!



Leaves falling like sheets from some poet’s night table…

They carry impressions of life, so - in glimpse!

Enchanting those, strolling in parks and being able

To read between lines about fairies and imps…

 

To get mesmerized, fascinated with shadows -

Allusions being made to the future or past

Evoked in your memories, haze over meadows,

Of all that imagined and dreamed, won’t last!


You’re crying for days that so sheer evading:

- Please, stay for a while!

Don’t break off dear dream!

The weather will hear you… and, getting bad, linger…

As if for being with you in shared grief…

 

Then, one by one, pretty days will be taken…

And hidden somewhere far beyond known lands…

So fast coming autumn, that leaves you forsaken,

Itself, till next year to come, quickly… ends…


First snowflake is sending you message of winter:

"Get ready!

I’m coming with snow and frost!"

Yet, melting in palm, getting drop cool and steady

You stare at surroundings, feeling so lost…
