Dear sweet autumn
Where have you gone?
Someone came
And took you away
Though leaves are turning
But, my heart’s still yearning
Winter’s come
And I think it’s to stay

Frost on the ground
In the early morn
Green grass is long gone
Turned, shades of brown
And the sky is so gray
On this cool October day
I need to smile, turn
My frown upside down

November is coming
How quickly, it seems
Counting days
Til the colors have left
Pictures taken, a few
It’s what I needed to do
To keep my heart
From feeling bereft

And I’ll count the days, in so many ways
Until her beauty returns, once again
I’ll wait by the door, of this I am sure
Pray my autumn, this time, will remain

When my insecurities bring me down

Your love is the remedy that helps me up

She hides behind the fence posts

Where no one sees her there

Cloaked by wooden slats and nails

She stays hidden from the glare

Of hatred thrown about her

Lives taken, for mere display

She no longer wants to live

In a land that prays this way

Someday she’ll find the courage

To walk away from all this hate

But for now, she stays behind the fence

For now, she has to wait

I’d like to introduce you to Night Owl Poetry, a part of who I am. An extension of my regular writing/blogging, my poems are both light and dark, happy and sad, they are reality and fantasy, they are you, and they are me.

The name Night Owl Poetry was a collective from my family. The reason, well, it’s when I write. Anywhere between midnight and 4AM, on any given night, you can find me typing away in my office. Like now. It’s 2:45AM, I published a new poem called Tainted, and here I am writing to you. My family knows not to bother me, although they do check in once in awhile. They are my incredible support team 🙂

My poetry is simply me. I hope you enjoy reading….
