"Autumn Grey"

A non-angsty, somewhat playfully patronizing poem generally directed at the part of me that is angsty sometimes.


Autumn Grey is here to stay
She's chasing all the leaves away
Curtains the sky apart from the day
Hasn't got a thing to say.

Autumn Grey, sad is she,
Revels in the melancholy
Turns her tear-grey eye to me
Autumn Grey sighs heavily.

Autumn Grey is a lonely dove
She thinks she's got no one to love
She looks at her feet but never above
There is no sun in the world of
Autumn Grey, the lonely dove.

Autumn Grey, although it's rare
When your smile shines through auburn hair
It seems that winter would never dare
To take you away to the plains of nowhere.

Autumn Grey, although it's strange
I do so love your brooding ways
But when spring blooms I meet the gaze
Of another girl whose calm smile stays.

Autumn Grey, you know that you
Are dear to me as the sky fades from blue
Still, I understand why you
Sigh so when I return anew.

Every year I learn again
Slowly that I love you when
The leaves are falling, floating then
When Autumn Grey comes back again.
