Leaf-Gathering Poem by Mahdokt Pretorius

Leaf-Gathering

Rating: 5.0


The leaves gently falling
from my tree of life
each tells a story
of what was once
between us in this
game called love
seen through the mist of time
each holds a memory dear
of you and I whilst
the sun was near

Softly, so softly
the leaves of memories fall
in the autumn of my life
colourful, beautiful
memories of you
the one that I love
I will bend me down
to gather them all
hold them close
to my heart till
death us do part

The leaves gently falling
from my tree of life
each tells a story
of what was once
between us in this
game called love
seen through the mist of time
each holds a memory dear
of you and I whilst
the sun was near..

Element of love, leaf, the nature of sort signifies a great account of how love can relate to those faling leaves, like a gesture of a good companion.Well writes Mahdokt! ! !
