But you didn’t come;
Looked for you
In leaves
rushing
Down lonely streets,
The sky wild
With moon and cloud
And lamps’ shadows
On a wall.
Desolate
And adrift
As falling leaves
my thoughts
Whirled about
winding streets
and blown
scraps of poems
scattered
in empty lots…
So haunted,
the ghosts
Stayed home
Beautiful -haunting and sad , but most of all beautifull

I really like the way you made "leaves" and "streets" rhyme. Not sure if you meant to do that.

Thanks, @killerflu. I use proximate or near rhyme sparingly but continually throughout my poems and even my stories. It sets up an inward music in the hearer's mind...or so I hope :)

Beautiful Imagery, Does allude to me,Doing My Daily Search for my phone ! Yesterday I had muted it so took half the Day to find it in the back of my truck!

Thanks @awgbibb - BTW, I kept losing my phone. keys, cheater/reading glasses etc. so I purchased a product called Tile - it's several small tiles that go on the 4 items you keep misplacing and it allows you to track and find them, including your phone, even if it's muted - It's about $100. CAD - don't know what that is in South Africa though :)
