October Cold Comes: Love Haiku 22:24

22

time raged like a storm
thoughts of you erased by winds,
drowned by high waters

23

leaves blush, turn crimson
others in golden splendor
you behold my face

24

October cold comes
mauve chrysanthemums blossom
warm my hand with yours

“Love Letter”

by D.G. Vachal

At the end of winter daylight
when lemon passion glows
with the ardor of periwinkle,
at unexpected moments
I remember

a melody long forgotten,
jubilant as a nightingale’s song,
that led my fledgling
heart to soar
towards the blazing stars
once upon the sands of time —

Now, when it matters no more,
I recall the scribbled ink upon the paper,
a voice that called my name,
at twilight’s edge
when my heart beholds the colors,
the warm farewell
of the setting sun.
