Lovers walk on cobblestone
in a silent night
under lantern's amber glow
shadows meld so tight
whispers won't deny
when a Midnight rain is brought
to a softer sigh

Portal into realms unknown
Where the heart does yield
Open the feelings escape
Where she says I’m healed
Time does not allow
For me to feel ecstasy
Like a wild guffaw

A viscous heart, a liar
A mind of hatred
She’s hurtful, untrustworthy
Nothing is fervid
It’s all in her eyes
She is very devious
Heartless terrorize

Lost in a dismal forest
Sitting on a bench
Sits a dissipating girl
A confusing wench
The two disappear
Dissolving from bottom up
Bringing a great fear

I travel time backward fast
Reach the home I left
The young picture on the wall
My beauty it kept
Past smiles on my face
I tell time let me live now
In my nice old place.

Swirling down from a dark sky
Stars that flicker by
We twirl in adolescence
Hoping not to die
Living by the grace
Smiling at benevolence
Her warm loving face

A sentimental garden
Trimmed with tender hand
A triumphant glory place
Another great land
Harvests wondrous rose
The most beautiful red one
The Lord did compose

The mighty oak tree sits near
Orange and red leaves
Looking like it is on fire
They clog up the eaves
Beautiful to see
Sight unlike any around
In awe completely

A glass sphere cracks in places
Begins to explode
It shakes and rattles about
Fixed in my abode
It shatters apart
It breaks into small pieces
Like a lonely heart

I believe aliens have

visited the Earth

in the past and do so still,

whatever that's worth.

But if I am wrong

and they have not arrived yet,

they will, before long.

Fields lay expressive, alone
Where the leaves inward
Express their timely demise
Color lies outward
Open the breeze
Brings down the colors of fall
All kindly agrees

Into the group of old trees
I go heedlessly
The trees all welcome my step
I move carelessly
Trees want affection
I walk there beside the trees
They want attention

She displays a smile of love
A smart freckled girl
Hair splaying here and away
Working up a swirl
Piercing eyes composed
She enlivens many men
Her heart is exposed

Going down dimly lit street
The cobblestones wet
The moonbeams are out tonight
The mood is all set
Nobody is around
There’s a bit of fog floating
Quiet does abound

Half naked near a window
Smoking cigarettes
She wafts smoke into the air
Inhaling some hits
She looks out the glass
Noticing me looking in
She smokes more with sass

The night has finally come
Hallowed trick or treat
Children love the chocolates
The candy is neat
Dressing up is fun
Many friends do love to scare
Making kids go run

Hung on a string by a tree
Some pumpkins laughing
Bats that fly all about them
An aura baffling
Full moon is rising
Lights up the whole scene unique
Fear is surprising

The red landscape sprawls across
The land of pristine
Beauty falls around bright color
Raw is the ravine
A spot so lovely
Abreast the grand gorgeousness
Tender Harmony

There’s serene view before me
A wax paper sky
Sun hiding behind the clouds
With corn that had died
Harvest time’s coming
The air crisp, a cold feeling
Brown color waning

A beautiful witch watches
Looking for some cheer
Wanted to cast wicked spells
Harshest of the year
Find someone charming
A man of mighty stature
Spells will come charging

The rain pours on the outskirts
Edge of a clearing
That resides inside forest
It shows a darkling
Two people reside
With umbrellas they walk there
A place where they cried

She’s completely dressed in black
Elbows are crooked
Leaning down she looks at me
Eyes that are sacred
Her lopsided smile
Tickles me with great delight
A glow from her guile

Glowing tree beyond the wall
Showering with leaves
A bright rose color is shown
Hears those that believe
Solid with no fear
Growing higher on life’s edge
In my heart so near

In the depths of the darkness
Colors do fasten
Through the brightness of pure white
The light does hasten
The pathway exposed
Leads to finer place of rest
Lifting up composed
