Hey steemers,
Here's another reading taken from my live album, Artefacts of Desire; a mix of songs and poems performed back in 2015. I hope you like it; please let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Seasonal Love
I loved you in the summer, but I couldn’t stand the heat
and you were not contented to flatter my defeat
with flowers or with virtue, to make the wicked wise
I couldn't even hurt you at the summer's cruel demise
and spring had taught me nothing of the ground it spun above
but offered its distraction and its temperamental love
and autumn was a kicker, with its boredom and its hope
it scrambled my instructions like a cracked kaleidoscope
now absence makes you fonder of the memories we lost
when we waved a white surrender to the winter's holocaust
and when it's over, gently escort me to my room
where's there's cash to pay the piper,
this infernal afternoon.
