Maple, maple and the warm skies
A downfall that couldn’t be a demise
A clover leaf is petalled four again
And you’re just as incidental, as I am wise
I am grateful for every word you speak
My reasons to smile through the yellow woods’ deep
Maple, maple- their colours are a treasure
I have kept you longer than I planned to keep
Autumn sky is but a vacation of the hues
They leave and leave behind the blues
I have saved you like I save the maple leaves
Not all love in this world, can be put to a use.

Oh? You think? If it warms and thrills even one soul, hasn't it been fitly put to use? For example, I love my car, kiss her even, yet she is not alive, but how I love her still. I dunno. Just thinking. This is lovely and fascinatingly rendered with an interesting rhyme scheme and excellent imagery, not to mention a subtly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
I agree, by “use” I meant how the society (or rather the voices in my head) seeks to link a purpose to every action…. I am a poet collecting fall leaves, I live far from those definitions of “use”… glad you enjoyed it, and thrilled that that haunt was visible, cheers!
