Autumn air, as the creeping shadows begin to claim the

I was a popular geometry teacher, imparting knowledge to the young,
Like the proficient translator, who is able to speak in different tongues.

It's a wonder young children still turn out all right
With the stuff that gets crammed in their heads every night.
Things like visions of sugar plum fairies and sprites,
Or a thousand tales of Arabian delights,
A frog...

Stretching at the very heavens are the braches of autumn,
It is becoming the season of death, and mother natures promise
Of rebirth is with drawing, leaving nothing behind but stilled
 Whispering echoes.
The very ground itself grows...

The stranger is strange, pariah, leper sounds offbeat,
 Neither truculent, nor relevant, all destined to encounter the doomed relic;
The bizarre outlander, alien to stimulate the instant pulse-beats!
The uninvited hobnobber, one despises to welcome in routine...

DOUBT ME IF YOU WILL
_______________________

Sun will cease to shine.

Twlight she looses her blush.

Moon she losses her sheen.

Stars have lost their glitter.

My face has lost its smile.

Hope elopes with darkness.

I have no where to hide.

In moments of despondent spirits I turn to you,
the resplendent paradise of secret dreams anew.

The opalescent orchard orchestrates tender hopes,
like cuddling chrysanthemum my fading fear elopes.

Bursting bubbles of beguile blossoms sprinkle love,
frivolous faith nurtures nascent...

Busy

Thoughts racing through mind all the time
As I grind trying to make a dime and keep it coming in
Because when you’re broke it’s no joke 
The laughter elopes until… a storm of tears form from...

My lifelong dream comes true as the words pour out onto the lifeless sheet. Stories of disengaged minds, hate, love, and freedom from above are created. A humble life is much better with the pen...

Journey Journal
NEW YEAR’ EVE 2024
By Leon Enriquez


The olde year dies
With a dreary sigh
Oozing away lost highs
Just one more day
Down the fading lines
A bygone dark relay
Of worn-out fears thus define

Guilt and regret
Confront olde time frets

The hills come alive with vibrant poppy hues,
From crimson red to golden yellow, a kaleidoscope of views.
They cast their shadows on the valley's gentle slopes,
A stunning aura, beauty that elopes.

In my mind's eye, I envision...

I knew I am one of the creatures
In the creation of nature or God
But confusion stands in body or soul
Give me knowledge O my teachers.

Machine like I work whole day night
Wonder it does not stop...

Love affairs

Within the heart not only love 
Depth of ocean space far
Cumulative wish compressive being, 
Can stay longer longer

Granary of love, tremendous wide, 
One can stick all over life
Melodious love heart rending wails

Life is a magnificent gift from the nature
Which the humans are enjoying forever
Uninformed of the secrecies that cover
Make it an enigmatic and baffling poser.

Epochs have disappeared by thousands
In solving the riddle of life by humans

Where are you hiding?
My sweet ageless malice
 Seasonal in your incarnating
From deep within mothers chalice

You who came drinking dry
Mamas love, patience and hope
Keeping long vigils sighing into dark sky
At dawns cock crow our joy elopes

She feels like chicken tonight
With Marmite toast
A welcome break
From green roast

A pound on the hip
You need to lose

 

Squeeze your achnes
And purchase a bra

Trigonometry 
Is her heart's desire 
And Shakespeare's prose

 

Squeeze your achnes 
And...

Was here yesterday morning, disappeared this afternoon 
Gone a certain aegis, like the wearing off of perfume 
See nothing can last forever, time elopes with esprit 
Winds of change unchangeable, mother nature’s a banshee

?This is it
?A bid goodbye
?A farewell into the fluffy far lands
?Where souls tango and trouble is amiss

?A melancholic release
?Of sweet eerie sounds
?Resonate in the heart of the clouds
?As the soul departs and body retreats

Nimble nuances

Who is elucidator?
Darkness elopes with shine and travels, 
A shadow provides rest,
And swings dream,
Someone comes and awakened mind, 
That runs after worry.
An Unscheduled day acts for punctuality,
One after one, jobs appears 
And compels to run...
