Thirteen Autumns

Autumns of my life,
The perennial fall;
Demons of the past thrive,
Bitter memories howl.
Mind entombed within closed doors,
Expressionless and full of hate;
Life becomes a melancholic moor,
Sorrowful and desolate.
Reminiscence of the fall,
Mourning winds blow;
Pale and grey mist wall,
Engulfs your shadow.
Life signs get bleak,
A chapter is over;
You wail your last sigh,
The heartbeat gets slower.
Wrinkled leaves,
Fall before your eyes;
Farewell time,
It's time to say goodbye.
Elegy painted funeral,
A momentous leap;
Anguish ephemeral,
Then a blissful sleep.
