Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves falling

From a distant tree

Standing tall since ages 

Like a meditating sage 

The shade it provided

Relief from the scorching heat

Lover's favourite spot 

For their most awaiting meet

From butterflies in the stomach

To destiny's parting ways 

It has witnessed all

By being a sage; standing tall

Autumn leaves getting wings

They are carried away by

A strong and roaring wind

Resembling as if bits of paper 

Filled with unsaid words; crumbled.
