Original poem: Seasonal Love - Live at The Fiddler's Elbow

in #dsound7 years ago



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.
