Forever autumn

The sun has gone into shade
And turned a corner
She will not be returning
Neither soon… nor later
Not ever…

Autumn leaves are falling, now
My dispirited, one…?
Winter blankets are descending,
And there is no more to be done.

The cyclones ear is sevenfold
But here therein there is
Just one rule of thumb,
One grace above all fallacies

Love is a sour plum,
With a pit of gold!

I hear despair and disillusion in your words, Mark. When one relationship ends, life does turn sour but love itself never dies, it just waits until you're ready and then shines very brightly once more.

Absolutely brilliant! Metaphor is super and the images are vivid. That graphic you chose to accompany your words is gorgeous. Do you know the artist? Lydi**

I’m dreadful at spelling worse than most and managed very little schooling. So, I’m grateful for tips and do what I can. I thank you for your hints and review. Jazz

I got F's in spelling .. it has taken years to learn .. and I still find spell-check underlining a word or two here and there ... Spell-check is a good way to learn, how to spell !

I’ve been using it for years some old dogs don’t learn new tricks. I guess I have some dyslexia problems if you see anything I’m happy to take advice.
