Shush not your footfalls
I can hear them move
behind the curtain
of a timid zephyr
Dampen not your warmth
I can taste its fullness
from the urn
of a melting sun
Efface not your smile
I can see it arc
upon the froth
of crashing waves
Withdraw not your presence
I can feel its weight
midst the rustle
of amber leaves
Bury not your fragrance
I can smell its richness
in the birth
of autumnal showers
Tease me not
with your impish ways
While I lie in wait
beyond all summers
for your coveted kiss
…yet another time…
While I herald
the chirruping harbingers
of your crisp arrival
…yet another time…

Aww.. thank you, Kelly… I love Autumn myself.. there is something quite magical about it… isn’t there?
Your poem remended me of autumn in New England…I miss it..but not the snow. 🙂 Lovely verse.
Oh woww.. New England sounds very romantic now… must visit it some time… and soon too! 🙂
Thanks for the kind words, Charles…
Oh, this is exquisite writing.
I do not want to see summer end and go into Autumn, our winters here last far too long and are far too cold but, you make those autumn leaves sound so beautiful, and here, we see them turn in such splendour, too.
A lovely read.
Aww.. I am glad you liked this Autumn invite, DayDreamer 🙂 I love these cooler seasons.. I like Spring and summer too.. I am just crazy about Fall/Winter.. hehehe.. even in NYC!!
Anyway, I hope you have a year ahead, my dear… and thanks for the loveliest words here… they mean a great deal to me!

“from the urn

A wonderful poem…. Sigh!
Awwwwwww… (sigh)… (blushing).. thank you, Ayala…. xoxoxoxox

You are such a darling, Tekia.. you alwyas have the most lovely and encouraging words for me.. and I LOVE THAT!! Thank you so much, T… glad you enjoyed this Autumny ride… 🙂
Be gladGLADGLADGLAD you’re not in Dallas anymore. Autumn can’t come too soon. It’s hotter than hades and everything in sight is burned up, the paint has blistered and is peeling off the houses and the trees are bare bark deader than winter. Heaven knows if there will be color, The leaves hang dead and brown and water is rationed.
However, your poem put me in a cooler locale smelling the lush green gone off to color. Very beautiful and well written! Thanks.
Oh.. I hear ya, Gay dear… I am still in touch with friends from Dallas, and from what hear from them, it’s quite horrid there these days.. the temperature, I mean… I hope it hasn’t affected you badly, my friend.. take care now, will ya?
Glad you liked this poem enough to cool you off a bit.. 🙂 Thanks for the kind words, sweet lady…
xoxoox
I think Indian Summer/Autumn is the most majestic and enjoyable time of the year, and along with the magnificent painting, you have captured the poignant waiting for its promise to arrive once again. Wonderful!
The painting’s really wonderful, isn’t it, Elizabeth?! Glad you liked the poem too, sweetie.. thank you… Autumns rock!!!! 😀

someone said to me, autumn creates masterpieces and i think you have create a masterpiece in autumn.
Oh my… I really am flattered, Oceangirl.. thank you sooooo much!! xoxooxoxox
Such a beautiful poem. The longing and desire for autumn came across strikingly. Lovely write.
Oh.. thank you, Pervagus… I am eager to watch the heat and humidity recede into a beautiful Fall.. hence the poem.. glad you liked it.. 🙂
Lovely Kavita! I love the way you are romancing autumn! 🙂
Cheers
Padmavani
heheh.. thank you, Padma… Autumn deserves a bit of romancing I suppose.. it is simply toooooooooo lusciously beautiful.. 🙂
“Withdraw not your presence I can feel its weight midst the rustle of amber leaves Bury not your fragrance I can smell its richness in the birth of autumnal showers”
My god! I love it! And the painting is gorgeous! Thanks for directing me here. You write beautifully honey!
Gee… thank YOU, girl… for reading it AND liking it…
mwwaaahhhh!!!
❤ ❤ ❤
such lush and beautiful words to announce the arival of fall.
🙂 Thanks, David… hope you enjoyed this one…
What a beautiful totality, Kavita. Lovely words, lovely message, lovely painting. I enjoyed everything about this poem and post!
Thanks, Joe.. yes, the picture’s a real beauty.. I am glad to have discovered it on DeviantArt…
Glad you enjoyed the combo here..
I know I’m LTTP Kavita, but had to see what you brought to the pub this week–an autumn feast! I love the way you peel things back in this poem, and the last stanza–I have SO been there. That is a gorgeous painting, also. Our days are still horribly hot–I’m ready for some cool autumn to come bring us some relief.
I saw some rainy days here, and was immediately drawn towards the fiery thoughts of Autumn .. hence the poem 🙂
Glad you liked it, Joy.. thanks for the sweet words here…
And oh, I wish Autumn descends upon your lands real soon… too much of anything (even Summer) does no good… no?! 🙂
Love and Hugs..
xoxoox
Repetition of ‘yet another time’ serves you well here. Great pic too. Thanks for your visit my friend x
Thanks, SaladBoy.. glad you liked this Autumny one.. 🙂
Hey..love this piece, its almost edible….autumn is creeping in to everyones psyche…and you explore it so well….my favourite time of year.
Thanks for the reminder – great pic and you used my all time favourite word
CHEERS!
Aww… thank you, Arron… now what IS that favorite word, I wonder… 🙂
Wonderful rhythm and imagery here. It flows so well from start to finish, but perhaps my favorite lines are “Bury not your fragrance / I can smell its richness / in the birth / of autumnal showers” and “While I herald / the chirruping harbingers / of your crisp arrival.” Nicely done!
I was looking outside my window here, and I saw these birds soaring in glee.. it just made me the feel the need to mention them in this poem… and I am really happy that you liked the lines that made reference to these birds.. thanks for your kind and encouraging words, Stephen… it really means a lot to me, my friend..
lovely, awaiting that kiss in another time…as a dream…thank you..bkm
Really, Barbara… I am sooo waiting for that kiss of Autumn.. I’m tired of summer already.. wheww!! 🙂
I love this over indeed!
Gee… thank you so much, my friend…
How have you been???? I will be visiting you sooooon…
Hello Kavita.
I absolutely ADORE this poem. How did you know autumn is my most favorite time of year?
I’m living in this poem! I can hear all the sounds & smell all the scents.
Simply beautiful and that painting…my goodness, look at all those magnificent colors…so reminiscent of autumn. I’ve already instructed the heat & humidity of summer to bow down to the hues of autumn (lol).
Did I tell you I LOVE this poem?
Awesome!

Yaaaaaaaaaayyy… You too like Autumn, eh, Andy?! AWWWWESOME!!! I am really reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally happy you liked this poem sooo much!!! Yesterday, it was sooo lovely here, that I was actually sitting with open arms, welcoming a shy Fall… so I simply had to write this one! And when I saw that brilliant image on DeviantArt, I totally went ga-ga over it! 🙂 Glad you liked it too… Kudos to the artist who made it!
~Shush not your footfalls
I can hear them move

I think we have a conscious connection this week. Kavita ~ I’m speechless! Stunningly beautifully written ~
Aww…thanks, Helena… and yes, the super connection closeness between our poems this week is quite amazing indeed!! ME LIKES IT!!! 😀

Everyone is making me long for autumn. I had been sad about summer’s end, but now I’m looking forward to it thanks to your beautiful words. Just lovely in every way 🙂
Aww… I am sure you will love it this Fall, Lori 🙂
And I am really glad that this poem makes you long for Fall… thank you so much for your sweet words, my dear….
Lots of love coming your way!!!
xxxxx
Kavita, this is a lovely invocation of the loveliest of seasons. The crispness of Fall is dear to my heart, so I especially enjoyed these lines:
the chirruping harbingers
of your crisp arrival
Thank you for this splendid write!
Gee… Thanks for the kindest words here, David…
It’s good to know that you too are a great lover of autumn…the season has an amazingly rich appeal to it..does it not?!
Kavita,
I’m fascinated with Autumn leaves, ashburn brown and yellow. Your poem is spot on in tandem with the picture. The yearning belies the anticipation of longings to be fulfilled. Beautiful!
Aahh..it’s great to meet fellow admirers of Autumn 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the orange-red ride in this poem, my friend… And thanks a heap for your lovely words here… They mean a lot to me!!
oh, autumn! reading this makes me wish it were already here…. 🙂
Aww… patience, my friend… patience.. 🙂 It will be here… very soon…
Lovely write, Autumn is almost upon us and very seasonally timely. Enjoyed the piece very much so, especially those first 3 amazing stanzas:)
Oh.. thank you so much, hobgoblin.. Good to know that you too like Fall… I really think it has such a rich warm appeal to it…
Glad you enjoyed this poem just as much…
The longing in this is palpable– nicely done.
Aaahh.. Fall really does that to me, Marilynn.. 🙂
Glad you liked the poem.. thanks for the kind words, dear..
Kavita, very beautifully written.. Like a song.. Wow..
Someone is Special

A sumptuous poem, Kavita. And what a lush and lovely illustration!

Your poem is simply beautiful.
Thanks a heap, dear Madeleine!!! 😀

as beautiful as a painting … I always love coming here 🙂
Aww.. thanks, Baishali dear… you made me feel really nice about this poem….
xooxox
just beautiful. great choice of words. and as if I could feel autumn around me. Just loved it.
aaahh..thanks, AD… it’s already getting prettier by the minute here… hence the inspiration to write this one 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it, pal..
Kavita, when I tell people I moved back to the northern US from Puerto Rico “because of the weather,” they laugh… until I explain the lushness of autumn that they take for granted here. This poem is a love letter to my favorite season – and this will be our first Wisconsin autumn, which I understand is gorgeous.
Nothing can replace your description of the season. The form, the italic lines, the sheer beauty of your words. This should be on a page. In a book. Publish it, girl!! xoxo and peace, Amy
