October Leaf 93 Poems by Teen/Young Adult Author Jean-Thomas Cullen at Galley City

16. SHARE

Darling
I want to share your dreams
come with me
out of all time & place
   to a sort
       of dark
or at least
sort of vague
   world
of
   soft
      discordant notes

a piano maybe
of railroad tracks
French antiquity
smelling of old iron
but mellow with rain

and forgottenness.

(yeah, we KNOW, don’t we?)
a kind of happy nothing

and I’ll love you
     and you’ll love me
and maybe just maybe
            we’ll learn…
                 mellow…
                  …passing.

Thank you for reading. If you love it, tell your friends. Please post a favorable review at Amazon, Good Reads, and other online resources. If you want to thank the author, you may also buy a copy for the low price of a cup of coffee. It's called Read-a-Latte: similar (or lower) price as a latte at your favorite coffeeshop, but the book lasts forever while the beverage is quickly gone. Thank you (JTC). PS: I wrote most of these poems (except the title poem, October Leaf) as a teenager, so I published them under the pseudonym A. T. Nager.
