The Autumn leaf and wind

He walked in, the breeze on an autumn night

Making the leaves dance, left to right.

The radiant presence, what a beautiful sight

Every time he passed by, things felt right.

One leaf, to the autumn breeze asked,

"Would you be my man?", falling for that mask.

They held hands and took their oaths,

Oh, that green leaf, and wind in black coat!

She danced every time he passed by

But to him, she was nothing more than a passerby.

One cold night, when the leaf was sick

She lost her green, looked like a brownish brick.

She saw him coming from afar

She was overwhelmed with a racing heart

But soon to her surprise , he pushed her down

She fell from the tree , like a queen's falling crown.

She screamed" WHY? "he Laughed "WHY NOT?"

He said " you are just another dying fly, drawn to the flame hot .

You are just another leaf in this world of woods

To think you are my whole garden, you must be a fool."

Broken hearted the leaf died

But that’s how most stories end, but its a lie.

Yes came the winter after,

She spent mourning with her soul shattered.

But she didn't take long to come back to life

'Cause she knew ‘we all have battles to fight!’

Like a phoenix she began to sprout

Turned into a lady so strong and so proud!

I might not be the only leaf in your tree,

But I'm the only leaf, about whom the world now reads.

Broken trust, ailing relationships

Do break us, but only to fix.
