Leafiss
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
A single golden leafiss in the breathing autumn breeze
Falling down onto the earth; set me free like oh so please
In the distant twilight sinking past the auburn tinted sky
Send the joys of soulless splendour in a haunting freedom cry
By the spoils of heartless rancour find the leafiss slip to sea
In the warmth and loving comfort oh by God just set me free
I don't want you; I don't need you - I don't want your kind embrace
I don't need the twilight shining - I don't need my leafiss faith!
NB - there is no such word as a Leafiss (a brown, dead and crumbling leaf), it is made up to poke fun at a persons faith/belief, particularly mine, under the pressure of another domineering one and the turmoil that results
