Beyond the Graveyard
Beyond the Graveyard Behold the amber moon, shining so bright,hanging high above in October skies.Rays cast down to reveal a frightening sight…shadows dancing as evil spirits rise. Beyond the graveyard, a thick fog rolls in,choking your breath, rendering your eyes blind.Ancestral wisdom is disguised as sin…in the tormented confines of your mind. Clearer, louder, theContinue reading “Beyond the Graveyard”
On Golden Threads
Poet Colleen Keller Breuning created a poem inspired by Tori Amos lyrics, using her phrases as the starting lines of each stanza. She aligns the poem’s ambiance with that of ancient Greece.

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”
In September Dreams
In September Dreams Restless summer, relentless heat,resolve is burning down in flames.Their shadows searching in the night,don’t even know each others’ names. Music drifts down the boulevardand so the ritual begins.The smell of wine and cheap perfume,quintessentially feminine. Drums match the rhythm of their hearts,slow dancing on pale clouds of love.Guitar riffs float across theContinue reading “In September Dreams”
