Autumn leaves fall round me

In a whisper no one can hear

Fragile, the air that surrounds me

I wait for the mist to appear

The winds, swirl like a cyclone

As trees grow naked and stark

They call to me, lyrically, intone

Gathering thoughts, I embark

Toward the forest, bare of cover

Into shadows, as they grow

Wondering what I may discover

I get lost in the leaves below

A butterfly’s wings

So delicate to the touch

Are silk against skin

Suddenly, to my surprise

I saw the strangest pair of eyes

And then I saw another two

I didn’t know what I should do

And while I was quite flabbergasted

The horror, thank goodness, hadn’t lasted

When I realized what they were

Two ostriches, I can concur

Moonlight Reflections ~ #OctoberWriting #poetry

I watched you sinking, never blinking

Wondering what you could be thinking

My guiding light, all through the night

Beyond the waters, ever shrinking

*

Waves already start to break

Ripples caught, within your wake

Oceans glow, as tides do flow

My heart of hearts, there’s no mistake

*

Moonlight perfection, a lover’s protection

The one who holds me, with no objection

I’ll sink with you wholly, ever so slowly

For together, we create, the perfect reflection
