Autumn Awakes

Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong,
A coolness settles, shorter days advanced,
Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong,

Southward birds fly, so parts summer birdsong,
Mid leaves lay spiked beech, acorn--care enhanced,
Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong,

Sweetness in brambles flourished berries throng,
Black, elder, wild rasp--touched...

Walking alone in the middle of the night
Holding hands with the cold in the pale moon light

I hear more than my footsteps; look over my back
The shadows from the trees were on the attack

I walked a bit faster, my heart began to race
The mist from...

Seemingly, sudden,
Restful sleep all but over.

Wild tricolored Irises, vivid white, sun centered, Shasta Daisies,
And Cosmos of azures, fuchsias and buttery cups;
Babies breathing, eager to begin once again,
In order to forsake the bronze, soft textured crustiness 
Of the newly milled mulching caps, as they race for
The...

At breaking dawn's shimmering, golden jubilee
Your blond locks pair with luminosity
As glimmering pearl swirls o'er blue seas
Your satin, silky skin glints in complicity
As each, flaring ray shares its warm soliloquy
Your glistening eyes beam back passionate colloquy
As creamy strokes paint blithe serenity
Your dreamy folds sculpt tranquility
As...

The morning stroll from room to room
Photos and paintings adorn the walls
Smile and stop, family groups, happy and sad
The camera captures good and bad

My laughter rings out, memories surface
Weddings and celebrations captured on film
Moments in time, thoughts drift elsewhere
Faces so lifelike include those no longer...

The body awakes, another day of life 
Message sent, who is in charge? 
I am, I am, loud and strong 
Logical thinking needs a chance. 

Who is first in the queue? 
Is it touch or is it sight? 
Think it through 
No need to fight....

I clasp my hands upon the cheeks of a sinful man's cheeks defenestrate him as he flies in the sky away from the house he was cast out of only for me to feel dysentery my belly opens up.  From the protruding from my...

In my dreams i scream so free
As i awake I scream to thee

As I slip awake this frosty morn
Heart feeling heavy, I don't know why
Blinking sleepy eyed,a little confused
Bed clothes contorted somewhat awry

Realizing I have more nights off work
Warms my heart with a smile debuting 
Sleep leaves the eyes of my disguise
Of a man that knows just...

Autumn's moon truly radiant and playful, 
    In a stippled and midnight blue hues.

  Fragile is the troth with nature. 
    Falling, trembling, withered leaves, 
      Drift throughout gravel beneath;

silent forest sleeps
misty river bends timeless
dawn awakes anew...
