Darkness At Noon

The sable noon’s hues part the glow
When your form coils into a shadow
Impaired by whiffs in a forest 
As twisted leaf gnarls on its breasts

Layered, bleak gaze avoid our plight
Beneath old trees, I find no delight
From summer’s heat reeking of woes;
Lamenting vows that decompose.

Branches thirst for a glistened sun 
Mirroring frail ardor, undone 
While the ravage of time’s dismay
Ensnares lost destiny, to slay!


Dr. Ram Mehta's Darknes At Noon

Nette, recently I observed that you've been embodying the Earth Mother vibe. I might be wrong but it works really well - Earthy, Lush, Scenic and Artistically Explicit.

What a flowing verse, calling on noon, never relenting, knowing it cannot alter time, only offer short solace.I adore this, Nette. I defer to your talent!
