murmurs softly,
through the cool of exhaled
breath, against the stones it whispers,
secrets

secrets,
gently spoken,
lonely unbeckoned words, 
hidden deep within broken hearts,
aching

aching,
melting sorrow
pours viscous and endless,

Longing
Waiting, hoping
Heart slowly dying
Memories re-fuelling forgotten dreams
Yearning

Longing
Wistfully awaiting
Dreams to stir
Prayers to be answered
Caring

Soaring
Free as a bird 
No wings to restrain us 
Blown gently on salmon pink clouds 
Heaven!

inside
silent hearts
words left unsaid
never find their voice

crumbling
leaves drift with wind
naked branches shiver
crisp scarlet, gold carpet is laid
onwards

misty
fog fills the air
masking grey gloomy skies
brisk breeze blows pinecones into
puddles

odours
of faint wood smoke

Deep in warm wine 
Outshining russet moon 
Glazed in the glow of honey glass 
Gold breeze

Drifting
Along the flood 
Of wilted summer smiles,

Water gushed over parched land
fractures are slowly filled left by drought 

terrain humidified by cold water 
pouring down replacing warmth
everything ice-covered

Autumn Stroll


Autumn

Gold foliage

Brilliantly surrounds me

Strolling forest's sunlit pathway

Hazy
remembrances
wither  in dim corners--
our laughter not  kept through night’s edge
and yet…
panes  rustling from ardor’s downfall
mirror your bare outline,
your scent wafting
like mist.

Smoky
mornings drifting
like woodsmoke on the breeze...
mushrooms are white buttons in grass
dew-damp.

Snapping
berries from barbs
my fingers sunset-stained;
the puce juice of drupelet fruit now

Honeysuckle perfume
Insect antennae knot freshly
