Beneath the Harvest Moon
Beneath the Harvest Moon Autumn fires burn in golden sunOctober hues have come undone.As catbird sings his mournful tune,I wait beneath the harvest moon. Whisked on the wind, leaves are falling.Feel the chill of winter calling.Love comes not a moment too soon,I wait beneath the harvest moon. Your lips taste of cabernet wine,Sending chills runningContinue reading “Beneath the Harvest Moon”

Rogue Specters
Rogue Specters Upon dark clouds did hope depart,An iceberg dagger to the heart.Dim shadows lit by fading light…Rogue specters in the autumn night. Ten thousand spirits strayed, adrift,Cast out by societal rift.Bound by vision to make things right…Rogue specters in the autumn night. They mount their saddles, carry onTo promises of blooming dawn.Sailing on sunbeams,Continue reading “Rogue Specters”

Colleen KellerContinue reading “Washed Away”

Light Fading
Light Fading Twilight is falling,autumn breeze blowing.Past the honeysuckle bushes,my tired feet are slowing.
