Spent

Fay Slimm.

 

Spent.

 

As the hot season passes

and cross-winds begin action

dropped leaves

fall from whipped branches

 

in whirl-crazy abandon,

 

like our summer-love madness

of reckless extravagance

now grieves

blown storms on climax 

 

as lust takes a battering.

 

Yet no seed-husks of mere chaff 

fall from passion's spent rapture        

as our hot season passes.

  • dusk arising

    Those of us living in the sometimes fertile lands outside a marriage come to know only too well the cyclical seasons of a love match. Include too the hopeful scattered seeds which never break soil. Hopeful, for when they do such a glorious blossoming enriches our lives with it's 'love summer'.
    The years bring patience and a knowing accepting peace. Memories of many summers.

    The places my mind will travel to when reading your poetry is quite remarkable. A landscape of visions opens before me.

    • Fay Slimm.

      And I am glad my few lines takes your mind to those places dear Dusk - a load of big thank yous for this thoughtful comment on Spent.

                    in whirl-crazy abandon
                    as love takes a bettering

                    Strewn together, words that exploit ecstacy.

                    • Fay Slimm.

                      Your comment on Spent shows how well you saw the message dear friend - thanking you most sincerely for your visit and read.
