Shall I tell you what I believe?
It changes daily with the breeze.
Reflect and pause,
pause and think…
Believe nothing.

Amber autumn,
carpets the ground,
teardrop leaves,
fluttering down.
Her beauty has faded,
her season is gone,
the harshness reflected,
in the cold winter sun.
Summer swifts sing,
their final love song,
as they take to the wing,
they no longer belong.
She weeps tears of petals,
as her dreams decompose,
her lover has left her,
to winter’s repose.

Rainbow transience
ephemera of the mind,
love intransigent
no respect of time.
Shimmering splendour
the summer of our life.
Majestic magnificence,
cutting with a knife.
What tantalising trickery
deceiver of our sight,
fleeting, sneering, mockery,
obsessional opulent light.
Delightful and delusional,
experienced by all.
Impermanent illusion,
to trip and then to fall
Cloud burst emotions
pour down like summer rain.
Refractive reflections,
the eternal lovers’ pain.
