wind advisorybattle of colors and wills
and seasons

the branches flail
as two clans of clouds clash

fallen soldiers, the leaves
dance downward
needing no obituary;
Nature always turns
death into life

no greed, no vain crusade
for power, to be abused
no tears, no graves, no mourning

come morning, the sun may shine
or perhaps, the rain and wind will keep
the stronghold of their stormy pact

but still, instead of bloodshed
there will be nourishment
and the un-weak that fall
will only make the union
and blessed harmony, stronger

balance;
if only we fought our wars
like General Gaia.

lethehallowed cure
or, is it?

olden taste
of nightmares gone hope

breathe in
the unsullied beauty

desire is wild

wisdom
is a nomad

wander, soul
further and ahead
drown the past, deeper
if you must

but never forget
how to trace your footsteps back
to the knowledge of pain;

even memory
would rather un-remember
desolation.

gone ripplingwhere hope dies weeping
weathered tears of cold decay
impervious beauty springs
in radiant cascades

clad in a lucent mist
veiled silence that commands
a furtive resurrection
of warbling promise

unwitting splendor caught
in a fluid moment, trancelike.

EurusLike a sunbeam, freshly brewed
within the throes of gentle dawn
bustling promise, unuttered
light from shadow, unfettered

like warbling spring, spurting dauntless

flood me, drench me,  finger-feed me
with all I would believe in, athirst

release me then,  avidly sated
perpetual herald, faith-full.

First Person, 2Night and day are spliced together once more.

The bedroom restored, just as it was before all was swallowed by the dousing of the light. The first person has returned.

Ambient sounds ripple the morning's silence, my voice cocooned in speechlessness.  The familiar solitude, the obscurity of living alone waits to greet me as I wake.

My mind, dragooned by habit, utters its spells of continuity, awareness blossoms
to conceal that complete disruption, those long hours of formless passivity.

These moments, like aftershocks, echo the great passion that all of sentient existence must share, making of rebirth a daily routine.

That great passion
treevial soliloquyLeaves like butterflies
are kisses,  pieces of me
have fallen like rain.

Reflections never lie
unless we seek in vain
to see what cannot be.

I watch me shed
another love affair
with fickle autumn

Fragments of memories
blind eyes floating
on a withering face

of water and sky is
the palindromic essence
of my still fate.

I silently embrace
the long, cold wait
of winter's bareness.

eclipticleaning into your caresses
sporadic soul whisperers
of craving and mist

I unfurl, a-quiver
nymph of the fleeting dawn
basking in your elusive cadence

night has already fallen
as I close against your absence
guarding your essence within

untasted manna.

Blindfolded
The seen, the unseen
so close together. Only
our indifference

makes them all invisible.
We prefer not to see them.
KnowingDid they know where
the train was going,

shoved and crammed into
the battered trucks, did they know?

The terrible knowledge
was hid among them,
buried deep in their souls,
out of sight.

But did they know
as they succumbed to passivity?

Yes, they knew.

Before she falls away

:iconhalcyonshores:

clear-skied smile, beguiling
with windy teeth, approaches
the moistened flesh
of Autumn's amber neck
with sun-full cunning

undaunted, she
continues to sway her leafy curves
unrivaled siren, golden-veiled
evades the nippy bite
prolongs the annual courting,
seducing the marauder, whilst
calmly and wisely delegating
so when the final dance arrives
and she gives in to winter's
breach unstoppable,
all will be primed
for her hibernal slumber;

once bitten twice ready.

What a lovely combination of words and a colorful dreamy image. :heart:
"once bitten twice ready."
and autumn succumbs divested of its raiment.

No peeking, honest ;p
I suppose I simply feel it - it takes one to know one ;)
As for the spontaneity, I meant that you are a pure and
genuine person and it shows in your comments and works.

And blushing ROCKS!! :glomp:

Oh my goodness!! :blush: Thank you so much. I love to read your comments and replies. They're full of grace and beauty :heart:
I agree, it takes one to know one. I've had this 'feeling' that you know a great deal about how to live spontaneously and passionately.. ;p
Yes honestly I do blush, it gets embarrassing sometimes and I can't hide it either, not with my coloring. lol !!
