20something n going no where

I stand in front of starry night
With eyes that do not see
But hear others express delight
At what’s hidden from me

I have in hand a deep red rose
Whose scent escapes from me
I glance around and envy those
Who do inhale with glee

And Aphrodite lays bear and pure
But touch her I can not
And fruitless yearnings I endure
As others have their lot

The meaning of life told to all
But I don’t hear a sound
Others rejoice to hear this call
But I am lost not found

I hold sweet wine from Zeus’ cup
Made of purest fruits
But mouth sewn shut I can not sup
Whilst others fill their boots.

But all the joys and all the fun
i lack from the above
I know that i have truly won
when you give me your love.

Where metal and brick cement their place
On bonny Blighty's weary face
And carpets for cars, bikes and feet
carry countless people i will never meet
Where brickwork buildings and metal mesh
will stifle breath and bind the flesh
No friendly face, no hands are shook
All that matters is how you look
London Town, an eyesore metropolis
Buried nature, a grey necropolis.

Well, i love autumn and all the holidays and celebrations that come with it and am rather excite. Although a little annoyed at the lack of a proper summer.

Fall

Dead leaves fall when autumn starts
Once so green, strong and bright
A million sinking broken hearts
Are set to burn on bonfire night.

And with each leaf, a sighing breath
The tree’s youth hits the floor
Trampled by kids dressed as death
Who come to bang upon your door

Trick or treat they shout as one
And then expect a prize
The mighty oak tree just looks on
As leafy tears leave his eyes.
