Autumn, Nevermore

By lupus tenebrae

 



The pictures of the featureless
were taken once before
by river lens,
and sorry pens
were taken once before

when fall was shaken to its core
and winter made amends
with every leaf
in fallen grief
and winter-made amends.

Her promise in the lower tens,
in snowy white belief,
is colourless
or prism-less
in snowy white belief,

in contrasting her disbelief
in love as meaningless
as cheating lore
with nevermore,
in love as meaningless.

Author's Note:

My love of seasonal poetry, put to another frame I suppose. This time, it's the roundabout style. Sorry for the generic title, nevermore is practically cliche by this point...

    I am appalled I've somehow managed to miss your writings for...literal years. You're very, very, VERY fuckingly good. This is particularly so.

    The first stanza was the best and most beautiful, while subsequent ones seemed to blow away as fallen leaves, cheers!
