Fall Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Fall

Rating: 5.0


The leaves are falling
singly or in a cluster
Every gust shakes
the quiet clinging to dying love
The ground below awaits
a red carpet
upon which will walk
the last steps of our love
And each crunch will ask
Did I let go
because I got tired
Or
Did I let go
because you got tired?

Part 2 Shelley continues “”Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou, Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed” Yes! Shelley knew, perhaps, that you would pen this sequel to his masterpiece. Another masterpiece, Nosheen.
