Poetry Corner with Kwesi BISSUE: When Autumn Leaves Turn Brown and Fall
September 20, 2025
Green leaves fade away
Green leaves turn yellow or orange
And pale away
Slowly they dry
Slowly they die
Autumn leaves tend to turn brown
And fall to the ground
When autumn leaves turn brown
And fall down
It is when autumn leaves my brown eyes blue
To see the blues in your eyes
When you hide all the tears you cannot cry
Now far and near
On field and on hill
As early autumn rushes in
Leaves change colour
Trees lose cover
Roots thirst for rain
And my hands grope in vain
Even for a twig
Even for a hug
Autumn’s green leaves keep changing
Keeps me hoping and praying
Autumn’s green leaves keep fading
Leaves me crying and dying
When trees lose their leaves
When water can no longer reach the leaves
When trees live close to winter’s freezing cold
When wind tears dead leaves from the fold
It is when tears drop at a beck and call
When trees lose their leaves
Leaves dry up and die
In the Fall
When trees lose their leaves
It is when autumn lures my arms to leave their hold
From a caressing hold
When autumn leaves fall
They are swept out of sight
They dry up and die
When autumn leaves fall
The trees stand bare
And when my eyes see the leaves fall
In the Fall
They let falling heartbeats tell it all
When autumn leaves fall
They are swept out of sight
They dry up and they die
When autumn leaves fall to the ground
They are swept off the ground
Out of the way
Somewhere…in the Fall
Surely something is wrong
Can someone help to patch us up?
But memories of lips I used to kiss
Memories of the part of me in you
Picked me off the ground kissing
For I was born to kiss your virgin lips
In the middle of autumn
And in the middle of this
I miss your first kiss
I miss the kisses in the Fall
In Autumn’s changing phases
Can something help to patch it up?
When autumn leaves start to fall
I start to miss your last kiss
And in the midst of this
In the middle of autumn
I save the best from my lips for you
