If You Were Coming In The Fall [SSC8 Poetry Challenge]

My entry to the SSC8 Poetry Challenge, Lyrics by Emily Dickinson Slight edits and additions by myself. ------------------------------------------ (mmm, mmm, mmm..) hmmm.. hmmm.. (mmm, mmm, mmm..) If you were coming in the fall I'd brush the summer by With half a smile, and half a spurn As children do, a fly (a fly) If I could see you in a year I'd wind the months in balls And put them each in separate drawers For fear the numbers fuse (they fuse) If certain, when this life was out That yours and mine, should be I'd toss it yonder, like a leaf And take eternity.. (And take eternity) As one who counts the windowpanes While storm keeps the door Content to bear the dark of now For one unlocked shore Ohhh-Oh.. hmmm, mmm, mmm.. If only Centuries, delayed I'd count them on my Hand Subtracting, til my fingers dropped Into this cold and cursed land (cursed land) If certain, when this life was out That yours and mine, should be I'd toss it yonder, like a leaf And take eternity (And take eternity) Ohh. Take eternity! But, now, uncertain of the length Of this, that is between It goads me, like the Goblin bee That will not state.. its sting (mmm, mmm, aahh, mmm..) Thank you, Emily. (Emily) mmmm.. Thank you Emily.
