Lovers east of the Coombe (Free verse) by Caducus
West of the Coombe we lay
at peace in a loom in May.
A bough abloom
from Autumnâs tomb
soon will blow away.
North of the Abbey we roamed,
through blossom of crabtree we combed.
The sky that bellowed,
its eye that yellowed
brought whatâs only loaned.
South of the woon she ailed.
Her mouth from the moonlight paled,
no words were uttered
yet something was stuttered
then eyes and lashes were veiled.
East of the Coombe she sleeps
close to the bracken that weeps,
when the Crab tree cowers
Sheâs dressed in flowers
Until the wind of Autumn reaps.
