lightning bolt violet violently twirls,

Death KneltIn the cartographies merger with the soul,
where topographies bring thought converge,
a hidden rose blooms,
its petals unfolding,
like a cipher's dark emerge,

as the benthic depths,
a chthonic whisper,
exhale the secrets unsaid...

Autumn Shadows
August bleeds thoughts of harvest, picking crops
shortly, corn husks, rustling leaves in earth tones
crimson shadows, bustling golden meadows
indigo skies blessed with gushing raindrops
