Premium Member31 August

Goodbye my little August
Here comes your time to fly
I’ve loved you, to be honest
Much better than July
September’s on the threshold
The summer paid its price 
The autumn wind blows cold 
Precedes the winter ice 
Though many autumns I have seen
And winters in their prime
I couldn’t imagine it would seem
Like a delayed goodbye
More nights, my darling, without you
More leaves at your back door  
But memories remain like new
We thought they would, before.

Premium MemberI WANT

I WANT 

I want to lose my breath when first we meet.
I want to behold my heart skip a beat.
I want to fall like I've not fallen yet.
I want to love once without a regret. 
I want to laugh a laugh only we laugh.
I want to change my mind on your behalf.
I want to trust you without any doubt.
I want to adore you inside and out.
I want to feel when you've entered the room.
I want to sense the scent of your perfume.
I want to see that smile that's mine alone.
I want to chisel our love into stone.
I want to be your past, present, and hense.
I want to know you in the biblical sense.
I want to listen when your soul speaks to mine.
I want to dance with you, step out of time.
I want to feast upon this list and then,
I want to do them all over again.

Premium MemberDeserted

The wind bloweth.......
Bloweth the chaff......
From the grains
The chaff is deserted like the desert
Like the fox in the Maghreb dunes
Deserted like the fig tree in Autumn
That is shedding leaves for winter 

They deserted one by one
As they paid their respects
To the departed lying in state
One by one they left as they came
He was left all alone deserted
Death has left its streak of sting
He is a casualty. He is deserted

Premium MemberOn My Knee - CM



Write my story, in rhymes and prayers
Light of joy, in the skies, quiet tears
Praise in colors of laughter, sincere hope
Ways of a spirit who knows how to cope

Tell the world about this love that grows
Smell the roses, where faith surely knows
Rains of the autumn rest on those who see
Pains are erased by love when I fall to my knee


Premium MemberSeptember’s End DHR

Wake me up when September ends
And autumn’s breath chills white wind
Closing denim door on Summer’s heat
With delightful crisp air of fall breeze

I had a summer I wish to forget
The pain of lost love and red regret
It was a fling that began with spring
I believe in love but love is a dream

So another holiday I’ll spend with me
Not something I hate until winter’s freeze
But that’s welcoming seasons of change
Divorcing summer and heat stroked brain

Putting a log in brick fireplace so warm
And dust off novels to read that charm
Not giving up on love that’s a thrill
But taking time to love me I feel

So this winter I want silver solitude 
I’ll write as therapy find my teal truth
Listen to my mahogany favorite tunes
Dancing alone at home in my birthday suit

Premium MemberI Long to Sleep Until the Leaves Have Gone - DHR

I long to sleep until the leaves have gone 
taking all the memories of summer love,
and dream until the winter’s dawn. 

When the cloak of autumn is soon drawn;
when evening stars dance in the sky above,
I long to sleep until the leaves have gone.

Wind still sings in the Forest of Argonne,
I hear the song of my truelove
and dream until the winter’s dawn. 

September dreams are like a swan 
who flies entwined with her beloved,
I long to sleep until the leaves have gone. 

Seasons stretch as nature yawns,
I hear the calling of spring doves
and dream until the winter dawns. 

The memory of summer past is long 
and autumn chill will soon unglove~
I long to sleep until the leaves have gone
and dream until the winter’s dawn.

The Depot

The morning sun begins to peek,
my shaking knees are feeling weak.
With heavy baggage in my hand,
it takes my strength to simply stand.
I am so numb the silence roars,
I have survived my endless wars.

Gazing at the train platform
remnants of the passing storm.
The grass glistens in the breaking sun
oblivious to the battle won.

Crowds disperse, the platform clears,
the whistle echoes in my ears.
To be alone at last, I breathe,
I'm taking in the autumn breeze.

My first steps forward, timid ones,
the light of day finally comes.
For I'm unsure what lies ahead,
will they love me now, wish me dead.

It matters none from here on in,
I fought the war, I fought the sin.
My body's weak but I am home,
my weary soul will cease to roam.

Premium MemberA Leaf In The Woods

In your forest of green trees I am but a leaf
Floating in a spiral denim demise despite
My wish to hold on to love’s autumn breeze
Which plucks me unlovingly from sky’s delight

I’d hope to float into your endearing arms
To know your heart and be in your protection
Dreams deferred by realities word of charm
I can never learn of your amethyst affection 

So I shall die in knowing not your touch
Upon fall’s orange hill of unclaimed love

Premium MemberThe Heartwood Canticle

Thy curve hath taught
the rosewood how to sing
and my fingers
long roughened by cedar
grow gentle upon thy hips
returning unto the edge of thy ebony

Through forty harvests
rain hath polished
snow hath kept
the sun made sweet the grain

Lo, the wood thrush calleth
from the bough
where once this timber
drank the morning

Thrice I say unto thee
I love thee—

And another ring
God closeth
in the heartwood

Premium MemberMuse

In times of muteness,
I found her grazing in fields 
of paper hummingbirds.

Her featherless wings 
resembled a ruptured lute,
so I pressed my lips onto hers,
breathing poetry into her soul,
weaving velvet yarn, 
shrouding around her muse -
embracing in an autumn scarf.

We bonded like Rumi and Shams,
but such is the tragedy of kismet,
her spirit floated towards Delta Caprcorni,
leaving me behind in a world less poetic -
without a poem to call my own.

Just a little Sunday scribble.

Premium MemberWill I ever see my true love again?

           My love, oh my love, How do my heart ache for thee?  You were the true love of my
           life when I saw darkness at the end of the tunnel; Now there is light at the end of the tunnel,
           you are nowhere to be found. Will I ever see my true love again? You're lost, but you 
           can be found. My love, oh my love,  How do my heart ache for thee? Now there is
           light at the end of the tunnel, you are nowhere to be found.
           Will I ever see my true love again? You're lost, but you can be found.

Premium MemberThe Very Form of Grace

The very form of grace,
whispered presence of,
in this lovely face,
my most precious love. 
In the midst of Fall,
harbinger of snow,
rising above all
intention to bestow 
illuminating grace,
intimations of,
in this precious face, 
my unending love. 

Christopher M. Swan 2009

The very form of grace, whispered presence of, in this lovely face, my most precious love. In the midst of Fall, harbinger of snow, rising above all intention to bestow illuminating grace, intimations of, in this precious face, my unending love.
