Autumn Poems Quotes

“Autumn has come
and reason has gone.
Yesterday, I sold the sun for you
and tonight the stars are running away from me.
When you first spoke,
you slowly annihilated my world.
Your mouth was like the sea —
in your kisses I sank.
Your hands were like the ocean —
in your caresses I sank.
I ask for no salvation on this moonless night.
I only ask for more Autumn.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“The Passing by Stewart Stafford

In the gorgeous death of Autumn,
Tree-bowed alms for the wind,
Sacrificing eye-catching features,
Now primed for Winter, skinned.

Organic shaded palaces looted,
Shells of once-shimmering things,
Shorn of their prettified plumage,
Until born again the following Spring.

Everything is recycled in Nature,
Dead leaves compost the soil,
Turning wheel of rampant Summer,
No memories in the humid broil.

“Elysian Way by Stewart Stafford

An eviction deadline decree,
A woodpecker broadcast,
Winter, the incoming actor,
About to enter a clean stage.

The powder blue sky framed,
Fall's aurum, russet and ochre,
Dripping opalescent raindrops,
A red wedding's spangled confetti.

Leaves shushed and shimmered,
In moving vertical waves of surf,
Trees shrugged slowly to begin,
The organic haircut of the ages.

Leaves plunged, spun and floated,
Fallen comrades littered the grass,
Half-assed, surprise resurrections,
As swirling spectral mini vortexes.

“Autumn Shimmer"

In the heart of autumn,
in the season of falling leaves,
when golden foliage swirls like forgotten dreams,
sadness falls upon the withering trees,
but you shimmer like a beautiful love breeze.

The world grows silent beneath a fading sun,
Yet you rise in my heart — my dawn, my only sun.

In autumn when everything withers,
Petals fall like broken feathers
Yet you appear, a single blooming rose,
gorgeous and radiant, heaven knows.
The air grows colder, memories freeze in pain,
yet your presence brings spring once again.

My hope never dies — you are the reason,
you are the breath of life in a dying season.

Your gentle touch soothes my soul with ease,
In the heart of autumn,
you shimmer like a beautiful love breeze.

Brimming with the vibrant colors of life.
A flower that never fades,
among the parched, fallen autumn leaves,
you are the only beautiful rose —
delicate, divine, and dewy.

Thirsty autumn drinks nectar from your embrace.
Upon the wilted dry yellow leaves,
you are the dew of God’s grace.

Autumn withers golden leaves,
but you shimmer like a beautiful love breeze.
You shimmer like a beautiful love breeze.”
