Burning Dreams (poem) by Felix LeRoy Perry on AuthorsDen

Into the burning leafs of Autumn tossed

Like so many wasted years I gave to you

Into the smoke rising towards the clouds

I cremate the love that once seemed true

An image held inside for one too many years

Was lost today when I saw you holding hands

The look of quilt crushed my mirrored view

Love fades like long dull wedding bands.

yes, a burning sensation, dearest Fee... almost like that of tears caught between the eyes and the throat, and then not flowing any further, to where soothing relief might be found.
many hugs and love, sweet man.

The past is gone and the bonfire of love has become ashes. Awesome depth to this pen in a painful way. You made it real in this verse and a little of my past slipped through.

The burning leaves of autumn tossed has multiple meanings. Red, like fire, burned out and dead, and burned to be rid of them.
