Summer, and the sunglow hours are creeping, so slowly by
with red ruby treasures, waiting placidly, all day in the sky
But, twilight finally ends, with the perfume of black blooms
Gradually Grudgingly Giving In
David J Walker
The cold holds no such
Color so bold as winters bite
remembering so many a
Summer night
The warm leaving
Sweat so wet on
The back of your neck
in the faded moonlight
that looked for all the same
In December
until you factor in
the distant solstice sun and the
Longer nights
The cold will hold on
As long as it can
Gradually
Grudgingly
Giving in

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
extreme hard devotion is needed
to deactivate the circuits of sins
flashes through bodily limb's senses
neutralization must be demanded first
Good deeds of self being
invitation of well being of all
paves the ways of virtues
gradually soul gets its own destination
The melody gradually filters
Through my being
Filling my soul with joy
I go with it savouring, anticipating
It’s genius – no other thoughts enter
Just floating with the melody
Surprised by some discords they startle me
Prepare me for the majesty of sound to come
