I feel the breath of Autumn cooling the night
when the stars shine bright.
Summer surrenders to the dying and dead
facing Fall with dread.
And Jack Frost waits impatiently just offstage
keen to turn the page.
Color creeping through the canopies of trees
ripples in the breeze.
Wild geese are in flight,
and in the moonlight
I feel the breath of Autumn cooling the night.

Rhyme
They waltz against the dark , offstage
Within a tearing pinch of light;
A pitch-black room …entrenched in rage
Was once the velvet cloth to skin,
Now ripped apart by hems of spite
As numbness dries low breaths, so thin
Frigid the steps…locked in a cage
Pale music on iced fingertips,
That dancing goodbye twirled with age
When frozen love changed to chagrin.
Smell of lilacs, damp as old page
Bitter this

Rhyme
The stars dance across the sky
A nightly recital of spinning and whirling
They’re in the spotlight here
But I know they’re invisible to him
Playing hide-and-go-seek offstage
I scream his name to the cosmos
In some sort of harrowed cry
Or desolate plea for redress
It comes out raspy, choked
The faraway stars have no reply
The echo returns not
I’m left standing in the dark
Mourning his mindlessnesses
Bombarded by the silence
