When Autumn Speaks
When leaves drop heavy as unsent Letters upon the dampened earth, I taste the copper in cold air— Your warmth dissolved in autumn's dearth. October fog wraps ash-grey threads Around the words we left for dead, Each syllable a weighted stone That settles in my chest alone. But winds grow cold where shadows climb, Where promises dissolve in time, And hours spill like wine uncorked— Each...

He is snug and tidy in plants...

Blissfully, she wraps herself up like a sweet treat and realizes she may just be gobbly eaten, A game of battleship ends with a defeated fleet and the pews pews are all so well hidden. Never cautiously with the retreat and my actions are forever of Oblivion, and swans before ducks twisty of forbidden....

Lonely, naked, in the corn fields, a stranger to this new awakening, stitching upon new found flesh, upon the recently perished dead. A bloody vessel cannot sail, and the pull-ness from the tide, and the fields whip the wind gale, and this leaves the shape open blind the blind-ness sees with open shut eyes spinning sweet, saliva, to our child-hood waifa innocence turns to antics, bronze bleeding...

Words captured in amber for all eternity—valued for their unique resilience as the tides of time cannot erode them. Our deeds like skipping stones on water sink in although they go unrecorded; the ripples soon fading from memory, becoming a distorted reflection in a cracked mirror. Tides gather the echoes to...
