Monocrostic (Birthday of Eunice Leonor)
Twilight without absent of blackness and no light, does it make your night sunrise does it make it daylight absence, a pigment doesn't make it dark jaundice of light doesn't make it bright~

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2020
Emblazon pigment leaves in autumn
Sun's lull shadow playing possum.
Autumn rich hues of amber, anticipating
Slowly trembling, slowly falling,
Descending, creak and shudder,
Unhurried, yet empowering wonder
Soft murmuring waft then slow showers.
Monarchs flutter tasting flowers
Beautiful shade of autumn spice
In the sunlight once or twice.
Nature's palette of bright
Migrating birds in V flight
Towards the flaxen horizon there
In the crisp wind laid bare.

Leaves morphed in color
Blazing pigments are warnings
Like those set upon exotic creatures
Though the caution be different
Not of poison but of chill
They are like flyers, posting announcements
Of the coming event across the forest
And then they fall
Like sheaves of paper to heap and clutter the ground
Proclamations brown and withered
Soon covered in drifts of death matter
And lost eternal
Few milliniums of lies
Beneath a gray ice
Years and years of lies
The town’s streets
The watch’s hand
Told me
It is lies
The stream of words
Is walking through her golden bridge lips
Come and vanish in lies
She is sick
With words
With lies
She is trapped
In her history
Story and lies
It is dark
Inside her
She can not hid it
She can not compromise
It is dusty and salty
Time
When she walked away with
Her face
At my birthday
She came and
Delivered me
It was my only gift
A gift from a woman
In love
After a long walk of hate
She gave me
My new name too
She left
For a century
She came back
To take back her gift
I felt
I should wait
An eternity
For a new birth
New horizon
And new open skies .
