Autumn poems

He winsomely took her

whispering

untiring

She wistfully left him

wheezing

unflagging

Wakeful night

Tenderly touching

tantalizing her

tiny trembling grasshopper

an easy-won trophy?

ccc

A necklace

of ultimate pearls

he gave her

a birthmark

engraved in a mirror

parky weather

the tangy Atlantic Ocean air

The sailor

animated

by such a wild zeal

threw her in a pauper’s grave

after he looked at

a funeral cortege

ccc

Eternal love

gone

replaced

with a snap of the fingers

with a smile

just a smile

from the inside edge

of the track of perdition

indecent

sensitive

a decaying star

lead astray by a rainbow
