Fallacious

I'm drowning sorrows with champagne
and listen out to hear again
your footfall

It all began when moon was high
and kisses did intensify
like dewfall

Your promises the sweetest fruit
white worm within poor substitute
late windfall

And so the photos keep alight
adventures of a neophyte
as pitfall

Not wiser now but lonely still
I wrap old bones against this chill
each nightfall

  1. A gorgeous poem, Laura, and I felt each fall. I love the play on words in the title and the lines:

    ‘Your promises the sweetest fruit
    white worm within poor substitute
    late windfall’.

    I felt the chill in the final stanza.

feedback is food for thought....
