Autumn Bouquet

Swirl and sway with the whispering winds

Magic unfurls as a leaf starts to spin

Fluttering high on the wisp of a breeze

Below, the grass and flowers tease

Fairies dance in a whimsical way

Among the floral autumn bouquet

Shades of Blue

Tags

, , , , , , , , ,

Locked inside this fantasy
Of colors changing hue
That fade away too easily
Leaving shades of blue

Block the colors from my mind
Memories of much better times
Reflections in the mirror, you
Reflections that I never knew

Locked outside of brighter days
Emotions I now lack
Feelings turned into malaise
As colors fade to black

Into the Haze

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , ,

Emptiness lies beyond the mist

Pallid colored crystals shift

She walks on tip toes, through the grass

Blades that feel like shards of glass

Wondering where it is she’ll go

Lost among the fog aflow

That swirls about her naked skin

Uncloaked to feel the cold within

Of winter’s chill that holds no kindness

Frozen in this icy blindness

She wanders on into the haze

Her mind adrift in a languid daze

Beautiful Autumn

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

Gazing up at a graying sky
That hides the golden sun
Sighing as the birds fly by
And wishing I was one

Watching the squirrels frolic
Among the rustling leaves
That fall to the ground incessantly
From my backyard trees

Feeling the breeze upon my face
On this dreary autumn day
Taking in the beauty around me
And all that it portrays

She

She laughed at his silly jokes

His inane sense of humor

She made him smile

Her infectious giggles

Sent him soaring

Ever lost in her universe
