If every month’s a color
Then October has to be
The same orange as a pumpkin
And I think we’d all agree.

For as fall, in its ascendance,
Turns the leaves and ripens gourds,
Golds and oranges and ochres
Are the notes of autumn’s chords.

So I welcome Ms. October
Gussied up in tangerine,
Bringing just enough of chilly days
To supersede the green....

I've always watched you soar, 
It was the landing that caught my attention.
Knowing that the sky has always seduced your spirit
in search of its border,

to see you perched on the limb of transcendental ascendance.
The Breeze of Time
will not allow you to occupy the sky. 
But beauty
is Infinity never in need to build that nest...




RIP Mom
Sickness couldn't keep you caged, Lady!

And I'm guarded,
like I'm wounded,
my first instincts,
are to find a hole,
dig in, seek ascendance 

I wanna lighten my dark,
I wanna swallow the sun,
I wanna feel single; one of one—
I wanna spark transcendence

To feel the pulse of life in every sad heartbeat 
So I fire the dreams where passion finds defeat
Flame fueled, flowing forever forgoing deplete
Phoenix rise singular; not to be repetition, like a parakeet...
