Poet Tellaferro Poet Rhyme

In This Oppressive Season

Magnolia bloom pale 
white like moonlight 
hurricane shutters creek
a sultry night wanes 
restless sleep 
ceiling fans beat 
quiet absent rhythm 
a soft breeze 
I lay awake watching 
the moon rays creep 
across a barren wood floor
finding its way to the corner
I cannot silence my restlessness
Troubled is my sleep 
as the moon glows softens
A silhouettes leaves
Sliver silence soft in its wake
always falling across the door 
the beat of the fan the rhythmic
tattoo of tic tac rattle n hmmm
magnolia blooms like moonbows
as dust drifts spinning falling across 
covers the floor reflexs ghosts
In my sleep
the mantle white
the dust thick silence in the heat
drift across 
fallen were it reeks
twelve of the clock 
all alone in the house
Silent in this oppressive season
restlessness in my dreams 
Of magnolias drifting in memory
Throughs of imagery faded photographs 
loom at the passing of the moon
as Magnolia bloom pale 
white like moonlight across
hurricane shutters 
Screen doors creek
a sultry night wanes 
As a moon in silence waxes
restless is my sleep 
Listening to the ceiling fans beat 
quiet absent rhythms 
soft breezes drift
wile I lay awake 
watching
