Astray Bitter winds rustle through the trees,a longing starts deep within mefor light that breaks the darkest days.The autumn sun has gone astray. I want the gold dust from your eyesto warm my bones in turquoise skies.Birdsong chittering in the fray,the autumn sun has gone astray. There’s no more wishes in the well,no hidden secretsContinue reading “Astray”

Autumn Descends
Autumn Descends Autumn descends with clouds and rain,with harvest crops long gone to grain.Promise of cool days round the bend…but summer doesn’t want to end. Missing the catbird’s plaintive callas crimson leaves begin to fall.Sights and sounds of autumn transcend…but summer doesn’t want to end. Out of the dark, into the dampdubious sun shines likeContinue reading “Autumn Descends”
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”
The Darkness
The Darkness The darkness descends with its gloomWrathful clouds release their cold rainAlone, imprisoned in this roomBold wind rattles the windowpane. Wrathful clouds release their cold rainOn a canvas of purple gloam.Bold wind rattles the windowpaneAs wayward geese make their way home. On a canvas of purple gloamHunter moon rises in night skyAs wayward geeseContinue reading “The Darkness”
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”
Vertigo
Vertigo My head is spinning round and round,My feet unsteady on the ground.I’m caught up in this undertow,I’ve got a touch of vertigo. I try to still these waves of changeAnd close my eyes to rearrange.I sense your warmth as cold winds blow,I’ve got a touch of vertigo. In fields of gold, your lips meetContinue reading “Vertigo”
Stark Beauty Beckons
Stark Beauty Beckons Cast off your blindfolds with open eyes,The golden dawn morphs in blue skies.Emerald grass with dewdrops pearled…Stark beauty beckons in this world. Behold the jewel colors of fall,Noble maple stands bare and tall.On the ground, its crimson leaves whirled…Stark beauty beckons in this world. Blue jays frolic in pure white snow,Deer cavortContinue reading “Stark Beauty Beckons”
The Autumn Storm
The Autumn Storm Outside the rain clattered,pounding on my windowpaneas the autumn winds rumbled,thrashing like a hurricane. Dread ran deep in the black night,sharp lightning cut the skies.Sparking bolts struck the ground,impervious to my fervent cries. Hours dragged on in turmoiluntil the storm came undone.Its last chords, a final sonatain deference to the morning sun.Continue reading “The Autumn Storm”
Blue Reverie
Blue Reverie As the clouds dance their pas de deux In the blue reverie of the night sky, Moonglow reveals the spirit of you, And my heart is lifted up so high. In the blue reverie of the night sky, Stardust mingles with the shooting stars, And my heart is lifted up so high AboveContinue reading “Blue Reverie”
Coulée de Serrant
