Before The Leaf Falls

Before The Leaf Falls

A leaf falls.
Suddenly, stringy mush covers my hands.
You’re carving out joy from an orange circle.
Just like you carved out my brain
Before your face walked away.

A leaf falls.
My speech is burnt.
Pies are fresh from the open fire;
Pumpkin pushes through the air.
Your laughter hates my memory.

A leaf falls.
Warm materials enclose around our souls,
Colors play in front of our eyes.
Trying to distract us from the crash
Coming at us from full speed.

A leaf falls.
This time, it covers me.
I see you above, dispersing into large air.
My screams muffled by the deep red ovals.

A leaf falls.
You are gone.
The once loose sweater pinches me,
Reminding me that my eyes are real.
The hollow grave is crowded
And my recollection of it ever being vacant flew away.

A leaf   f   a   l   l   s   .   .

Premium Member Whistling Past the Graveyard

Well it doesn’t take someone from Harvard
To get the metaphor of whistling past the graveyard
As Dr. Luke states it and rather obviously
You walk over an unmarked grave obliviously*
The naturalist walks over The Foundation for reason
In an attempt to ridicule that very Foundation

But why as a naturalistic behaviorist
Would you grind when there’s a mill but no grist
You are borrowing the Christian’s capital (yeah I said it)
The ability to reason, but you don't give God the credit
Reason doesn’t grow on trees 
Do you need more empirical clarification?

Generalizations can’t be seen with binoculars?
See the truth is something unseen or un-ocular 
I don’t say in jest or jocular
Or appeal to Private Monocular 
“We can’t give up God because we have laws of grammar”
See! The nut job Nietzsche gets the frustration

Premium Member dead ends

artless darts pierce heartless hearts 
garrulous gnats deafen rancorous rats
rabid foxes beget brainless rocks

we are all dead
when it all ends

there are too many dead ends

Premium Member The Fire Within - Abstract by Lee J Morgan

Determined energy encapsulates what smolders silently inside.
Quiet resilience produce a bold, inspiring presence that space opens wide.
With a colour gamut of profound earthy tone, 
Striking fiery reds and chilling white hot lashes stand alone. 
Morgan's painting suggests the perception of dancing flames to a beat,
Within the vision, to create a physical feeling of blistering heat. 
This symbolizes deepest strength of passion with his brushstrokes. 
Dynamic intensity instills the mesmerizing impression of movement it evokes. Demanding attention to the potential of power below the surface. 
Gifted craft accompanied by the celebration of beauty is its purpose.
As I gaze at the canvas, undeniable appreciation of this abstract can begin,
With wild untamed spirit ''The Fire Within".

Premium Member - Abstract Splash -

    A
    puddle
    of silver,
    unused canvas
    on the cobblestone
    A handful of colors
    mix and paint unlimited
    Creativity gives freedom
    Went into another dimension
    the paint flows beautifully on the street

    Neat gallery but no Mona Lisa
    If the rain comes, where is the logic
    Let the colors water your soul,
    art is a beautiful song
    Thoughts as a gentle breeze
    to break past comfort
    Paint all day long
    in blue light
    Sunlight
    now

Poetry Is

Poetry
A whisper to a scribble
The pen scratches against the blank page
an odd and rhythmical pattern
Imprinted into one's soul
Leaving an odd sense of peace or turmoil
Lingering with a yearn
A yearn for something unattainable
Something supernatural
Words standing tall
Reaching and stretching- searching
Desperately trying to
Obtain the unobtainable
Failing time and time again
Only leaving an echo of the words spoken
Or the emptiness of the ones left unspoken
Forever lost in the silence
Empty space
Which can only be filled by the next
Vulnerable moment to be bled out onto an innocent page
