Autumn Leaves (Photo credit: Kameramanden)
A moment
Stretched into years
A sigh
Smothered by tears
A glance
Drawn to a gaze
A child
Lost in a maze
And you
Darkness and light
Shadows
Waft through the night
A lie
Spoken as truth
Evidence
But never proof
And me
Wondering why
Intrigued
Obsessed then to try
Not lose
But lost in the game
Emerged
Never the same
A moment
Not what it seemed
A nightmare
Born of a dream
A leaf
Tossed and turned in the stream
Just a leaf
Tossed and turned in the stream

You have such a way to weave words, beautiful!
Thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂
For some reason it reminded me of “The umbrellas of Cherbourg”. Amazing.
Thank you – I’m not familiar with
‘The Umbrellas of Chebourg’ – just looked it up to see it is a musical film so shall check it out! 🙂 🙂
Oh, you should definitely check it out, it’s a great musical. Old, but good.
Ah…but what sort of leaf?
Autumn leaves I see all around me at this time of year in my side of the world inspired it. 🙂 🙂
A tapestry of words. I think I resemble that leave lately! lol this stanza really spoke to my heart:
“And me
Wondering why
Intrigued
Obsessed then to try
Not lose
But lost in the game
Emerged
Never the same”
I think I need to quite playing the same old game 🙂 Thank you for this poem, Helen…thank you xoxo
