Summer's twilight arrives in September.
Each day the warm weather abates and surrenders.
Placidly, the days follow a pattern:
The hues of autumn emerge with foliage that will turn
Emphatically splendid
Much the way Mother Nature intended.
Blowing breezes grow sharper and crisper.
Everywhere is susurrous with leaves that whisper.
Radiant sun still pervades as the winds get brisker.
Fortunately, there's still good weather to be had.
As autumnity approaches, one is never really sad.
Leaves begin layering one on top of another.
Landscapes transform with spectacular color.
September is truly a month like no other.

Ineffably, I explore the width of the earth, my sillage an ode to life. Smile of serenity.
I lotus, exude wisdom as I age in stage, petals fade like memories, in purity. Parade akin chameleon. Spin in mud, reawaken like purged Alchemy In your garden.
I ignite your aesthetic apex, stealing glances I see. Sips from my kiss, butterflies pollinate my ears, lured by the susurrous laments, birds slumber on my blooming arms. Chipmunks like drunks, dart on my toes.
Bees dance in the air, mate like spiders.

In a diaphanous café amidst the Parisien city's light,
Where lemon meringue waltz with dulcet delight,
Laughter echoes, filling shadows with glee,
A cerulean blue sky above sets dreams free.
Strings strumming lavender notes tones,
Mellifluous hues, a canorous concert unknown,
Vibrant chords dancing upon the air,
Susurrous secrets, elysian melodies so rare.
Hints amorous in coral empyreal sheen,
Zaftig's radiant smile, a mesmerizing scene,
Eyes shimmering with secrets untold,
A story of wistfulness waiting to unfold.
In the City of Lights, where dreams arise,
A summer's tale unfolds before our eyes,
As the sun aurified the skies in hues of gold,
And secrets of the heart elicit to unfold.
Beneath the stars that twinkle and ignite,
We dance to the rhythm of the Parisian night,
Inhibitions lose, our souls set free,
A taste of cynosure bliss, for you and me.

A palette of tones and modes carefully laid on an unburning flame. _by Poet
I gasp and utter silent sigh, in thrall
poised on the edge of crisp susurrous fall
mother's leaven variegated peaks
lie on a sea of amber - scarlet streaks,
yellow, and green allures xenial call

Having succumbed to suicidal insouciance,
From which mellifluous melted words dripped,
She fought the nemesis of the inner annoyance,
Who beleaguered her with languishing lips.
The lithe lips whose fingers scratched labyrinthian letters,
Upon parchment paper with opulent serendipity,
Ever flowing in metric harmony by her gossamer tethers,
Of her susurrous voice that echoed from cerebral captivity.
Such dalliance in the days in which she sung,
Erstwhile her evanescence breathed harbingers of art,
Whilst lassitude disentangled the scrummage she strung,
In time's spun web of temporal tricks to either end or start.
May your words resound in palimpsest,
And across them may there grow,
A cynosure of eyes to hide the grimmest,
Of morose inure from whence you've known.
If time could send me back to when,
You opened up the sepulcher in your oven,
I'd make sure to take and tell you then,
Let's make, instead of head, some lemon muffins.

When listening to her heart beat
I can hear the metronomic murmurs of string
and wind instruments blending
into a susurrous symphony
(expunging note upon note through my soul)
that goes from quiver to calm while pressed
against rhythms of her undulating breasts
the chorus harmonizes in whispered
reverberations “I love you” wrapping
each softly plucked chord around
my name that is parenthesized
in soothingly shaded tones of “mine”

and in a sleepless silent fog
memories burnt out in faded sun
ossified bones shape quaker guns
the past a needle of deeds undone
dusk another skirmish yet unwon
and fogbound in silent sleep
hypnagogic gagged and bound
susurrous floating low and 'round
inducing visions, throaty sound
form the stranger, kundalini found
and silent in a foggy sleep
drop the level, slip the drum
slackened grip, faintly succumb
a final twist with nasal hum
shadows cling like spirit gum
and now asleep in fog and silence
quelling heart and stifled brume
nestled deep in cotton's tender womb
dawn burning off chimeric gloom
hearts in morning burst abloom.
