Description
TIME
I left her.
I left her with kissed memories.
Of my lips wet
Upon her mouth.
I left her.
When stiff-necked fir trees bent beneath
The genitals of spring, when meadows
And hills were imprisoned in green, when jailer
Song birds turned keys of warmer notes
Than coldness knew
I left her when summer came … a gold apocalypse
Of blooming freed
To perfume wind.
I left her
When love was ripe … was autumn sweet and bronze.
And now? Now
The precious …
My angled hours march mechanically
On watches
Into winter.

Very nicely written! Phrasing and pacing are just right, and I can easily see your character. Good stuff!

This is a wonderfully creative turnabout. Most poems would speak of leaving during the harsh, cold winter, mirroring the feelings in the heart. But you have left in the Spring, full of new life and possibilities. And in Summer when life and love grows. And Autumn when these things mature. And along with your words are feelings of distain(?) for those seasons. In the end all that is left is a frozen Winter, when all things die. This is a masterpiece!

Time after time, you left her behind - hurry back before it is too late, you are running out of time.
