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.

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.

Silvergoldto flow is to last
to outlast
to have found
ever-seeking

fluidity of enchantment
liquid dream
awake, I touch you
aglow

tidal priestess
of ripples and magic
bound to everflow;

I know what forever
tastes like.

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.

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.

un-gaggedWords rattle and hiss
snakelike rivers twisting, jousting
silenced knots that would defy
the very sword of Damocles,
tongue-sharp and flesh-thirsty.

Smothered flow, refused exodus
(like a circumscribed sky)
music-less and cramped
between the whimper and the howl;
foul and violent the taste
of muse's suffocation.

Fade outI don't know how I got here

It's the end of the line for ghosts

and the scent of this strangeness  is soothing

even though the wind will keep whispering

for a while, I'll stay and play

and the music won't stop

until I've rested enough for this numbness to end

until you end with it.

sidekicklet me be foam

run me through your fingers
feel me bubble, underneath
your smile of sun and swagger

let the ebb seduce the flow
and chase me, over the horizon
forgetting for a night(dance)

that you can never catch me.

darkness comesI breathe the stillness
advent of a dusk forlorn
the crows are crying.

Just becauseOn a dark and cloudy day
I see the countless shades of gray
and brightly smile, thinking
the sun eagerly rests
watching them play

I see beauty on a stranger's scar
a dream's beginning in a falling star
a woman dances in her purple car;
love and laughter are never far

I hear poetry's song
come twilight's silence
and as a distant viola laments
I know that rapture won't be long

I see potential on despair's stained pillow
hope always lingers beneath the weeping willow
and on the darkest night, the moon
will cast her brightest glow

I Love, I Live, I stand my ground
I'm lost and found
I'm free while bound
I'm Loved..
and magic

lethe

:iconhalcyonshores:

hallowed 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.

Sometimes the need for a pause is desperately urgent.
During stressful moments, my way out is ..through the inside.
Words & music never fail to soothe and empower.

Thank you for reading.

Huge thanks for the links, Amanda! When I briefly looked in youtube yesterday,
what came up was.. off. I enjoyed all of them, though the first one especially so.

One more for you [link]
