vapour trail to motion slow
strained synapses fire sporadically
consumed strength from inner structure
muscular wasteland waits on the tick
process impeded on sun’s descent
digits fail to depress
closer to calm’s entrance
prompting summation of time
craggy surface seeks reprieve
lashes meet and mesh
screaming silence into lobes
utter not mindless words
invasive
persuasive
enticing
demanding
the beckoning arms of stillness.
I fought to the death
With courage and strength from birth
I am not forgotten
But returned to the earth.
Scattered, withered, lifeless
Until picked up on a breeze
Thrown heavenward by little hands
Do with me what you please.
No need to show remorse
Please don’t shed a single tear
Just remember me as I was
Until I’m back next year.
The Autumn leaves have fallen.
During Autumn the foliage turns the most amazing hues. Crimson, amber, copper, lime and blush. Watching the kids bundle them up, throw them into the air and then start all over makes me laugh.
The crunch of leaves underfoot as you walk along reminds me of rustling paper. Some are just that; paper thin and fragile.
The only part about Autumn I don’t care for much is the fact that it signals the imminent onset of another Winter. We’re not friends-to say the least.
We watch as that last leaf zigzags it’s way to the floor below; it has re-joined all those that fell before it. The promise of Spring and new life, just around the corner.
What is it that you love about Autumn?
Falling in love.
Image from: here.
Eyes without desire
Hungry for fuel to fill the soul
Embers of a fire
Once burned with passion
Just alive inside.
Looking without seeing
Wishing for a clear view
Blinds drawn across
Unveil the sight
For all to witness.
Visions of a future
Daring all who cross
Bear the burden
See what I feel
Come and love with me.
In writing this poem I wasn’t thinking in a specific direction. I had no deep message to convey. Allowing the words to create the journey for my thoughts was the purpose. I would sincerely appreciate if you don’t click the like button and go today. What would give me great satisfaction is knowing what you liked about it, if the words resonated with you or how you interpreted my expression.
