Leaves fall spiraling dance
Drift alone but in a breeze of chance
Countless colors of yellow and gold
Even the darkest browns becoming bold
The garden rustling with the wonder of where spring fled
Aster and mum sharing their purple and red
Naked and alone in a world grown cold
Where has the buttercup, the iris, and violet gone
Beneath a blanket of earth to sleep as the nights grow long
With the setting of the sun
And rising of the moon
Stars unseen glow with new life
I watch in silence
Becoming lost between worlds
One infinite
Filling all my sight
The other
Even more expansive
Filling my thoughts
With mystery and hope
Somewhere I lost my way
Somehow I went off the path
Overhead the storms are raging
Deep down a flood is rising
I hear a cyclone blowing
It’s wind is tearing me apart
Emotions turn toxic with the pain
I can still see your face and hear your words
Just can’t bring myself to understand
Why are you still holding on
To a person as lost as me
When life would be better to just leave
There is beauty in the dance of the butterfly
An image in contrast to the blue of the sky
Her yellow wings beating out rythm to nature’s song
A peaceful presence helping to move time along
And magically blending the colors to green below
With a pleasant smile I say to her a quick hello
Her time more important than you or I
It does not matter when she makes to me no reply
Pull me from the darkness, lift me back into the light
Fill this empty vessel, fill this hole I have inside
Am I worth forgiveness, I can’t make myself believe
Show me that you’re listening and tear this devil out of me
The katydid and tree frog chirping out a lullaby
In the shade of the great oaks
The summer sun now just breaking above the distant hills
Filling the air with warmth
A soft breeze moves the green leaves and tall grasses
The passing cooler air drifting down through the hollow
Carrying with it the smell of flowers from beyond sight
Lulling tired old men into a quiet reflection
Silent as a shadow
Breathing in the peace of the world
There is a time when the stars all align
Showering the heavens glistening crystal brilliance down
And the blue sky turns to blackened velvet
Sparkling with the light of an infinity of diamonds
Green oceans with frothing white capped waves
Become pacific and restful
Mediterranean mixing with a Persian hue bringing with it a deeper calming blue
The once tempest winds idle into a soft southern breeze
Blowing tropic scented fragrance to allure the mind
And all this beauty is here just for you
A paradise lost to a wanderers sight
Remembered only in silent pools of memory and regret
Not nearly forgotten by his heart
Those binding devotions of words and emotion
This love I still have of you
she’s a mystery
secrets veiled in hidden meaning
whispered words
silk smooth
fold the world in around bared flesh
smiles mask true desires
but for the eyes
no haze could dim those radiant lights
only fools know the pleasures such sin delights
passion grows uncontrollably
intentions lost in opium dreams
here the lotus blooms into eternity
sweet scented incense charms away the spirit
rosey pink breasts trace pendulum lines in circular orbits
entangled
limbs search out loves hidden pleasure
each breath a release of resistance from the body and mind
and an addiction of pain comforts
when alone in solitude
only the shadow of her memory remains
The years go by to fast
Loosing important moments to the past
Memories once precious fade away
Nameless people celebrating some forgotten day
Now just yellowed pictures hung in dusty halls
Framed into eternity upon time stained walls
Hopes and dreams unknown
False Promises Nouveau
