[x]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have a very soft spot for this one too.
It flowed so sweetly from my finger(lip)s..

Thank you
