The Tragedy Of Fall

Kurt Philip Behm

Late in September

I fondly remember

What caused loves engender

the days all in rhyme

 

Lost in September

a slave to indenture

My feelings surrendered

for you to be mine

 

Laughing we tendered

what pain could not enter

And boldly uncensored

each moment sublime

 

But Fall’s great pretender

October dismembered

Our fate the death chamber

— of Summer mistimed

    Funny how all those rhyming months fall at the end of the year and not one blame rhyme afterward. A good read my friend

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Kurt, this carries a beautiful melancholy… the way September begins in warmth and memory before October quietly unravels it. I can relate to this. That closing image of autumn dismantling summer lands with real weight. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
